Hello,

Using S1200BTL KVM (RMM4) to remotely control server - I'm unable to enter bios using F2 key.

Everything else works fine - I have integrated RAID module - LSI utility is accessible using Ctrl+C, when system boots into EFI keyboard works fine.

If I try to enter bios localy F2 works fine.

I tried hitting F2, holding F2, even tried software keyboard.

I believe I run latest bios, firmware and etc.

Where is the catch ?

thanks

Vilius

Ok, increasing "System Boot Timeout" bios setting solved the problem.

Supposedly default time value is too short for remote usage.
