Dell FHB Laptop User Manual


 
Using USB diskette or USB DVD/CD drives
The server module 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 server
module.
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.
Hard-drive/SSD indicator patterns
The hard-drive/SSD (Solid State Drives) indicators display different patterns as drive events occur in the
system.
NOTE: The server module must have a hard-drive/SSD or a hard-drive blank installed in each drive
bay.
