How to display BIOS on an external monitor?

Precision 3571

Precision 3571

Can you please tell me how to display BIOS images on an external monitor? I have not found any settings in the bios, also the combination of keys Fn+F8, Fn+F10 does not help. In Windows/Ubuntu the images are displayed normally.

Connecting everything through compatible docking station and I managed to access BIOS screen on various setup.  The usual hot key for external display does not work quite well for me.

Re:  What is docking station?

On older mobile workstation, there is E-Port Replicator which would allow users to just place the laptop on top of the port, with the lid closed.  The replicator, also called docking station, has all the connection to monitors, mouse and keyboard, network, and USB ports.  It would allow the setup to work just as a desktop.  In this setup, user can tap on F2 for BIOS or F12 for one time boot, also has BIOS option.

On newer models or the unit without the E-port, users can choose from various docking stations which can provide similar functions.  To find out which docking station is compatible with your device and to learn more about the connection type available such as Dell USB, USB type C, and thunderbolt, exploring your options here  https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000125885/usb-and-usb-type-c-dock-compatibility-list

@Chino de Oro​ Accessing the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) screen on a computer can sometimes be a bit tricky when using an external display and docking station. The typical hotkeys for accessing the BIOS may not work as expected in this setup. Here are some steps you can take to access the BIOS screen more reliably.
