USB devices function in the system the same as comparable
non-USB devices, with 3 exceptions:
I
USB devices require operating system or USB legacy
support. By default, USB devices do not function unless an
operating system that supports USB is loaded.
To use a USB keyboard, mouse, or hub connected to a
USB connector on the computer during startup or in a
non-Windows application, enable USB legacy support.
For instructions, refer in this guide to "Enabling USB
Legacy Support," next in this section.

The only type of USB drive that the computer can start up
from is a diskette drive, and the only type of USB drive
included in the Setup utility startup sequence is a diskette
drive.
For information about using the Setup utility to set the
computer to start up from a specific medium or device, refer
in this guide to the "Removable Drives" section, "Changing
the Startup Sequence."

The functionality of the
an external keyboard connected by USB varies by
configuration. If these hotkeys do not function as described in
