BIOS Menu Top-Level

The following table provides descriptions for the Legacy mode top-level BIOS setup menus.

Menu	Description
Main	General system and product information, including date and time, security, hardware configuration and CPU, and DIMM information.
Advanced	Configuration information for processors, CPU power management, USB ports, serial ports, trusted computing, network stack, legacy iSCSI, BMC network configuration, and UEFI iSCSI configuration.
IO	Configuration interface for plug-and-play (PnP) devices, virtualization, internal devices,and add-in cards.
Boot	Configuration interface for boot settings, including boot mode (Legacy, UEFI), Oracle System Assistant Configuration, and boot option priority.
Exit	Save or discard changes.

The following illustration identifies the sub-menus that you can access from each of the top-level BIOS menus.
