Legacy USB Support Legacy USB support enables USB devices such as keyboard, mice, and hubs to be used even when the operating system's USB drivers are not yet available. Legacy USB support is used to access the BIOS Setup program, and to install an operating system that supports USB. By default, Legacy USB support is set to Enabled. The S845WD1H server board has four USB 1.1 ports; one USB peripheral can be connected to each port. For more than four USB devices, an external hub can be connected to any of the ports. Two of the USB ports are implemented with stacked back panel connectors; the other two are accessible via the front panel USB header. The S845WD1H server board fully supports UHCI and uses UHCI-compatible software drivers. ✏ NOTE Computer systems that have an unshielded cable attached to a USB port may not meet FCC Class B requirements, even if no device is attached to the cable. Use shielded cable that meets the requirements for full-speed devices. Legacy USB support operates as follows: 1. When the user applies power to the computer, legacy support is disabled. 2. POST begins. 3. Legacy USB support is enabled by the BIOS allowing the user to use a USB keyboard to enter and configure the BIOS Setup program and the maintenance menu. 4. POST completes. 5. The operating system loads. While the operating system is loading, USB keyboard and mice are recognized and may be used to configure the operating system. (Keyboard and mice are not recognized during this period if Legacy USB support was set to Disabled in the BIOS Setup program.) 6. After the operating system loads the USB drivers, all legacy and non-legacy USB devices are recognized by the operating system, and Legacy USB support from the BIOS is no longer used. To install an operating system that supports USB, verify that Legacy USB support in the BIOS Setup program is set to Enabled and follow the operating system's installation instructions. ✏ NOTE Legacy USB support is for keyboard, mice, and hubs only. Other USB devices are not supported in legacy mode. 18 Intel Server Board S845WD1-E (S845WD1H) Product Guide

Intel Server Board S845WD1-E (S845WD1H) Product Guide
Legacy USB Support
Legacy USB support enables USB devices such as keyboard, mice, and hubs to be used even when
the operating system’s USB drivers are not yet available. Legacy USB support is used to access the
BIOS Setup program, and to install an operating system that supports USB. By default, Legacy
USB support is set to Enabled.
The S845WD1H server board has four USB 1.1 ports; one USB peripheral can be connected to
each port.
For more than four USB devices, an external hub can be connected to any of the ports.
Two of the USB ports are implemented with stacked back panel connectors; the other two are
accessible via the front panel USB header.
The S845WD1H server board fully supports UHCI and
uses UHCI-compatible software drivers.
NOTE
Computer systems that have an unshielded cable attached to a USB port may
not meet FCC Class B requirements, even if no device is attached to the
cable.
Use shielded cable that meets the requirements for full-speed devices.
Legacy USB support operates as follows:
1.
When the user applies power to the computer, legacy support is disabled.
2. POST begins.
3.
Legacy USB support is enabled by the BIOS allowing the user to use a USB keyboard to enter
and configure the BIOS Setup program and the maintenance menu.
4. POST completes.
5.
The operating system loads. While the operating system is loading, USB keyboard and mice
are recognized and may be used to configure the operating system. (Keyboard and mice are not
recognized during this period if Legacy USB support was set to Disabled in the BIOS Setup
program.)
6.
After the operating system loads the USB drivers, all legacy and non-legacy USB devices are
recognized by the operating system, and Legacy USB support from the BIOS is no longer
used.
To install an operating system that supports USB, verify that Legacy USB support in the BIOS
Setup program is set to Enabled and follow the operating system’s installation instructions.
