Using USB diskette or USB DVD/CD drives

The sled has USB ports on the front which allow you to connect a USB diskette drive, USB flash drive, USB
DVD/CD drive, keyboard, or mouse. The USB drives can be used to configure the sled.
To designate the USB diskette drive as the boot drive:
1. connect the USB drive
2. restart the system
3. enter the System Setup
4. set the drive as first in the boot sequence
The USB device is displayed in the boot order setup screen only if it is attached to the system before you
run the System Setup. You can also select the boot device by pressing <F11> during system start-up and
selecting a boot device for the current boot sequence.
