CP6002 uEFI BIOS Starting uEFI BIOS Setup
1. Starting uEFI BIOS Setup
The CP6002 is provided with a Kontron-customized, pre-installed and configured version of
Aptio® (referred to as uEFI BIOS in this manual), AMI’s next generation BIOS firmware based
on the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (uEFI) specification and the Intel® Platform Innovation Framework for EFI.
This uEFI BIOS provides a variety of new and enhanced functions specifically tailored to the
hardware features of the CP6002. To take advantage of these functions, the uEFI BIOS comes
with an uEFI Shell, which provides quick and easy access to the individual function settings for
control or modification of the uEFI BIOS configuration, and a Setup program, which allows the
accessing of various menus that provide functions or access to sub-menus with more specific
functions of their own. The individual menus and the configurable functions are described in
this guide.
To start the uEFI BIOS Setup program, follow the steps below:
1. Power on the board.
2. Wait until the first characters appear on the screen (POST messages or splash screen).
3. Press the <DEL> or <F2> key.
4. If the uEFI BIOS is password-protected, a window such as the one below will appear:
Enter Password
Enter either the User password or the Administrator password (refer to Chapter 5,
Security Setup, for further information), press <RETURN>, and proceed with step 5.
5. A Setup menu with the following token attributes will appear. The currently active menu
and the currently active uEFI BIOS Setup item are highlighted in white.

1.1 Main Setup Menu
The Main setup menu is the first screen that appears after starting the Setup program.
At the top of this screen and all of the other major screens, there is a setup menu selection bar,
which permits access to all of the other major setup menus. These menus are selected via the
left-right arrow keys.
All setup menu screens have two main frames. The left frame displays all the functions that can
be configured. They are displayed in blue. Functions displayed in gray provide information
about the status or the operational configuration.
The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key legend there is an area reserved for a
text message. When a function is selected in the left frame, it is displayed in white. Often a text
message will accompany it.

1.2 Navigation
The CP6002 uEFI BIOS setup program uses a hot key-based navigation system. A hot key legend is located in the right frame on most setup screens.The following table provides information
concerning the usage of these hot keys.
HOT KEY DESCRIPTION
<F1> The <F1> key is used to invoke the General Help window.
<F2> The <F2> key is used to restore the previous values.
<F3> The <F3> key is used to load the optimized defaults.
<F4> The <F4> key is used to save the current settings and exit the uEFI BIOS Setup.
← → Left/Right The Left and Right <Arrow> keys are used to select a major Setup screen.
For example: Main Screen, Boot Screen, Security Screen, etc.
↑ ↓ Up/Down The Up and Down <Arrow> keys are used to select a Setup function or a sub-screen.
+ - Plus/Minus The Plus and Minus <Arrow> keys are used to change the field value of a particular Setup
function, for example, system date and time.
<ESC> The <ESC> key is used to exit a menu or the uEFI BIOS Setup.
Pressing the <ESC> key in a sub-menu causes the next higher menu level to be displayed.
When the <ESC> key is pressed in a major Setup menu, the uEFI BIOS Setup is terminated
without saving any changes made.
<Enter> The <Enter> key is used to execute a command or select a menu.

Upon entering the uEFI BIOS Setup program, the Main setup screen is displayed. This screen
lists the main setup sub-screens and provides very basic system information as well as functions for setting the system time and date. In addition, the remaining major setup menus can
be accessed from this screen. This screen can also be selected from any other major setup
screen by using the Main tab.

Emergency Management Services (EMS). This functionality is totally independent from serial
redirection of other console output.
OoB Management or EMS makes it possible to control selected components of (Windows)
servers, even when a server is not connected to the network or the network is not available. In
short: EMS allows for remote management of a Windows Server OS through a serial port
