Using USB legacy support
USB legacy support (enabled by default) permits the following actions:
●
Using a USB keyboard, mouse, or hub connected to a USB port on the computer during startup or
in an MS-DOS-based program or utility
●
Starting or restarting from an optional external MultiBay or an optional USB bootable device
USB legacy support is enabled at the factory. To disable or enable USB legacy support:
1. Open Computer Setup by turning on or restarting the computer, and then pressing f10 while the
“F10 = ROM Based Setup” message is displayed in the lower-left corner of the screen.
2. Use the arrow keys to select System Configuration > Device configurations, and then press
enter.
3. Use the arrow keys to enable or disable USB legacy support, and then press f10.
4. To save your preferences and exit Computer Setup, use the arrow keys to select File > Save
Changes and Exit. Then, follow the on-screen instructions.
Your preferences go into effect when the computer restarts.
Using an eSATA device
An eSATA port connects an optional high-performance eSATA component, such as an eSATA external
hard drive.
Some eSATA devices may require additional support software, which is usually included with the device.
For more information about device-specific software, refer to the software manufacturer’s instructions.
These instructions may be provided with the software, on disc, or on the manufacturer’s Web site.
NOTE: The eSATA port also supports an optional USB device.
Connecting an eSATA device
CAUTION: To prevent damage to an eSATA port connector, use minimal force to connect an eSATA
device.
To connect an eSATA device to the computer:
1. Plug in the power to the eSATA external device.
