Is there any info on dell server bioses anywhere? (and what they support)
I am trying to boot off virtual media using Avocent KVM, and they say the server bios must support boot from usb 2 composite. Any info?
It works fine on PE 1950, but not on newer models such as PE2950, PE 6850, PE860 etc. I have a host of other server types, and would rather this wasn't a trial and error exercise/waste of my time.
I would expect that if it works on the 1950, it would work on the 2950 as well as they are the same generation system. I believe support was added in the 9th generation servers for booting from USB.
You might find the answers in the documentation found here
my mistake. It does work on the 2950 too. I think i missed it because i was looking for something else. Your comment makes sense (although my Avocent contact says he has it working on a PE850 now, and it didn't work for me on an 860! I think i'll double check.
