Hardware Features
Note
The system software does not support the use of a keyboard or mouse (Personal
System 2 [PS/2] or Universal Serial Bus [USB]). The BIOS does support a
keyboard and a mouse for power-on self-test (POST) and the configuration/setup
utility.
To troubleshoot the BIOS boot process, you can connect a keyboard to any USB
port and connect a monitor to the video connector. Video output is for
troubleshooting only during the BIOS boot process. The video output stops
displaying when the serial port becomes active. To monitor the boot process in
normal operation, use the serial console port.
