Troubleshooting a USB device

Prerequisites

NOTE: Follow steps 1 to 5 to troubleshoot a USB keyboard or mouse. For other USB devices, go to step 6.

Steps

  1. Disconnect the keyboard and/or mouse cables from the system and reconnect them.
  2. If the problem persists, connect the keyboard and/or mouse to another USB port on the system.
  3. If the problem is resolved, restart the system, enter System Setup, and check if the non-functioning USB ports are enabled.
  4. In iDRAC Settings Utility, ensure that USB Management Port Mode is configured as Automatic or Standard OS Use.
  5. If the problem is not resolved, replace the keyboard and/or mouse with a known working keyboard or mouse.
    If the problem is not resolved, proceed to step 6 to troubleshoot other USB devices attached to the system.

    If the problem is not resolved, proceed to troubleshoot other USB devices attached to the system.

  6. Turn off all attached USB devices, and disconnect them from the system.
  7. Restart the system.
  8. If your keyboard is functioning, enter System Setup, verify that all USB ports are enabled on the Integrated Devices screen. If your keyboard is not functioning, use remote access to enable or disable the USB options.
  9. If the system is not accessible, reset the NVRAM_CLR jumper inside your system and restore the BIOS to the default settings. See the System board jumper setting section
  10. In the IDRAC Settings Utility, ensure that USB Management Port Mode is configured as Automatic or Standard OS Use.
