Table D-5 Solving Media Card Reader Problems (continued)
After installing the media card reader and booting to Windows, the reader and the inserted cards are not
recognized by the workstation.
Cause
The operating system needs time to recognize the device if the
reader was just installed into the workstation and you are
turning the workstation on for the first time.
After inserting a media card in the reader, the workstation attempts to boot from the media card.
Cause
The inserted media card has boot capability.
Workstation will not boot from a USB removable drive or media that is inserted in the USB port on the
media card reader.
Cause
The media card reader is connected to the workstation via the
PCI card, which is not supported on the HP Desktop BIOS.
After installing the media card reader, the front USB ports on the workstation do not work.
Cause
The USB cable for the front USB ports was disconnected so that
the system board connector could be used for the reader.

Solution
Wait a few seconds so that the operating system can recognize
the reader and the available ports, and then recognize
whatever media is inserted in the reader.
Solution
If you do not want to boot from the media card, remove it during
boot or do not select the option to boot from the inserted media
card during the boot process.
Solution
The bootable USB device will have boot support if you connect
the media card reader to an available USB connector on the
workstation's system board. If no connector is available, plug
the bootable device into a different USB port on the workstation.
Solution
Reconnect the cable for the front USB ports. Install the PCI card
and connect the media reader to the USB connector on the PCI
card.
