E Notes on Using External FDD (USB)
This section explains notes on using a USB floppy disk drive.
Notes on FDD (USB) recognition at server startup
If the FDD (USB), with a floppy disk inserted, is not connected at server startup, BIOS cannot recognize
the FDD (USB). During OS installation of Windows/Linux, or when executing Windows Server 2003
ASR, make sure to connect the FDD (USB) with a floppy disk inserted before server startup.
Notes on floppy disk exchange recognition when installing the OS
manually and performing system recovery
When performing system recovery or installing Windows manually using the Windows backup data
with the following software, system recovery/installation might not be performed properly. This is
caused by the device driver being unreadable due to recognition failure of the floppy disk media
replacement.
• Windows Server 2003 Automated System Recovery function
After pressing the [Enter] key in accordance with the procedure on the screen, if the floppy disk access
LED on the FDD (USB) does not turn on and the floppy disk is not accessed, follow the procedure
below.
1
Eject the floppy disk and wait for 2 seconds or longer, then press the [Enter] key
several times.
2
Insert the floppy disk and wait for 2 seconds or longer, then press the [Enter]
key.
If the floppy disk cannot be accessed, perform the procedure above again.
Notes when reading the default values in BIOS Setup Utility
When selecting the [Get Default Values] of the [Exit] menu in BIOS Setup Utility to return its values to
the default values, the USB floppy disk drive is moved to the [Excluded from boot order] field in the
"7.2.4 Boot Options Submenu" ( p.181).
When booting from USB floppy disk drive is required, set it again to the original position of the [Boot
priority order].
