How to Set the BIOS Parameters and Boot Off the SIA USB Flash Drive

Check the

Sun Fire X4640 Server Product Notes

for any issues related to USB support. Note any

restrictions before attempting this procedure.

Insert the SIA USB flash drive into an available USB 2.0 port.

Note –

Some servers might not have USB 2.0 support on all of their USB ports. To ensure the best

performance, check your server documentation to make sure you use a port that supports USB
2.0.

Reboot the system, watch the display for the BIOS prompt, and when prompted enter the BIOS
setup.

The BIOS Setup screen appears.

Navigate to the Advanced -> USB Configuration -> USB controller setup screen, and configure
the controller for USB 2.0 (high speed) mode.

Navigate to the Boot -> Hard Disk setup screen, and make your USB flash drive the first boot
device.

The USB flash drive must be the first listed boot device.

To save your changes and boot SIA, select Save and Exit.

The system exits the BIOS setup and will then boot from the SIA USB flash drive.

Note –

If you use the SIA USB flash drive for operating system installation, once the OS is

initially installed from OS distribution media on the server hard disk, a reboot is required to
finish the installation. At that point, the USB flash drive must be either unplugged or its boot
priority lowered in the BIOS settings to ensure the server boots from the hard disk to finish the
installation.
