Troubleshooting a USB Device 
Use the following steps to troubleshoot a USB keyboard and/or mouse. 
For other USB devices, go to step 5. 
1  Disconnect the keyboard and mouse cables from the system briefly and 
reconnect them. 
2  Connect the keyboard/mouse to the USB port(s) on the opposite side 
of the system. 
3  If the problem is resolved, restart the system, enter the System Setup 
program, and check if the nonfunctioning USB ports are enabled. 
4  Replace the keyboard/mouse with another working keyboard/mouse.  
If the problem is resolved, replace the faulty keyboard/mouse.  
If the problem is not resolved, proceed to the next step to begin 
troubleshooting the other USB devices attached to the system. 
5  Power down all attached USB devices and disconnect them from the 
system.  
6  Restart the system and, if your keyboard is functioning, enter the 
system setup program. Verify that all USB ports are enabled. See “USB 
Configuration” on page 107. 
If your keyboard is not functioning, you can also use remote access. If 
the system is not accessible, see “Jumper Settings” on page 340 for 
instructions on setting the NVRAM_CLR jumper inside your system 
and restoring the BIOS to the default settings. 
7  Reconnect and power on each USB device one at a time. 
8  If a device causes the same problem, power down the device, replace 
the USB cable, and power up the device.
