Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A method to be implemented by a server, the server being electrically connected to an input device that includes at least one hot key and that is configured to send a hot-key signal to the server upon the hot key being pressed, the method comprising steps of:
during a power-on self-test, determining whether a storage device is communicatively connected to the server;
when it is determined that a storage device is communicatively connected to the server, determining whether the storage device stores a script file having a preset filename; and
when it is determined that the storage device stores a script file having the preset filename, performing a process of modifying a basic input/output system (BIOS) of the server the BIOS based on the script file,
wherein the step of performing a process of modifying the BIOS includes sub-steps of:
determining whether the hot-key signal is received; and
when it is determined that the hot-key signal is received, modifying the BIOS based on the script file according to the hot-key signal,

wherein the sub-step of modifying the BIOS based on the script file according to the hot-key signal includes sub-steps of:
searching the script file for a predetermined extensible firmware interface (EFI) filename that is associated with the hot-key signal; and
modifying the BIOS based on an EFI file having the predetermined EFI filename.
