No USB boot option in the bios

I added memory to my Dell PowerEdge 1950 and now I don't have an USB boot option in the bios.  I'm trying to re-install VMware ESXi 6.0 and can't due to this boot limitation.  Any ideas on what I need to do fix this?

Hi,

Does it show usb emulation type? If you press F11 for boot options does the usb stick show up under hard drives? If you take the memory out does the option show up again?

No it doesn't show up under boot options.  I don't think I have an option for USB emulation type, either.

Have you tried removing the new memory? You may also want to try resetting the NVRAM and updating the BIOS.

Thanks, I'm going to try a new bios rev.
