a working, bootable CD-ROM. To create a bootable floppy, you can format the emulated
floppy from the target system, or read the data from a working boot floppy. This can be
done from Windows using “Disk Copy” (right click on the drive letter in the Windows
Explorer) or by using a program like “RAWRITE”.
Once you have a bootable image
(CD-ROM or floppy) working on the
KVM control over IP module, you
must adjust your BIOS settings to tell
it to boot from a USB device.
NOTE: You must select “USB CD-
ROM” as the boot device for the BIOS, if using a CD-ROM image and “USB Floppy” if
using a floppy image.
BIOS and OS Vendor Support
NOTE: Up-to-date information about OS and BIOS support is listed in the on-line help
page of the internal web server.
Windows 95 or earlier:
No USB support.
Windows 98:
Keyboard and mouse are supported. Floppy/CD-ROM disk
emulation is not supported.
Windows 2000 SP3+:
Keyboard and mouse are supported. A bug in versions
before Sevice Pack 2 prevents floppy/CD-ROM support from working correctly.
(In particular, it appears to work, until you attempt to transfer files bigger than
4096 bytes). Upgrade to SP3 or later for full disk emulation support.
Windows XP, Windows Server 2003:
Keyboard, mouse and disk emulation are
supported.
FreeBSD 4.5:
Keyboard, CD-ROM tested and working; other features untested.
AMIBIOS (from American Megatends Inc): Keyboard, floppy and CD-ROM
emulation work well. It is possible to boot from virtual CD-ROM or Floppy. You
must enable either the USB floppy or CD-ROM as a boot device (under
Advanced Setup) and enable “USB Function for DOS” (under Features Setup).
Award BIOS (from Phoenix Technologies): USB Keyboard works. USB booting
is not implemented
by this BIOS,
although it is listed
in the menus.
NOTE:
BIOS firmware is
constantly evolving.
Contact your computer or
BIOS manufacturer for the
latest release of your
computer’s BIOS for
maximum functionality.
