Dell PowerEdge M520 Systems Owner's Manual

Using USB Diskette or USB DVD/CD Drives

The blade has USB ports on the front which allow you to connect a USB diskette drive, USB flash drive, USB DVD/CD drive, keyboard, or mouse. The USB drives can be used to configure the blade.
  • NOTE: Your blade supports only Dell-branded USB 2.0 drives. Use the optional external drive storage tray to support the drive while in use.
  • NOTE: If the drive must be designated as the boot drive, connect the USB drive, restart the system, then enter the System Setup and set the drive as first in the boot sequence. The USB device is displayed in the boot order setup screen only if it is attached to the system before you run the System Setup. You can also select the boot device by pressing <F11> during system start-up and selecting a boot device for the current boot sequence.
