Appendixes 49 2. If the target device will not boot, connect the USB CD drive to a USB port on the target device and reboot the target device. If the target device successfully boots from the CD drive, the BIOS is not supporting booting from a composite USB 2.0 device. Check the support Web site from the target device manufacturer to determine if a later BIOS is available that might support booting from a composite USB 2.0 device. If so, update the BIOS and retry. 3. If the target device is not capable of booting from an external USB 2.0 device, try the following methods to remotely boot this target device: • Some BIOS versions provide an option to limit USB speeds. If this option is available to you, change the USB port setting to "USB 1.1" or "Full Speed" mode and try booting again. • Insert a USB 1.1 card and try booting again. • Insert a USB 1.1 Hub between the VCO cable and the target device and try booting again. • Contact the manufacturer of the target device for information on availability or plans of a BIOS revision that will support booting from a composite USB 2.0 device. Virtual media restrictions The following list specifies restrictions for using virtual media: • The LCM2 virtual media appliances only support connection of USB 2.0 diskette drives, flash drives, and CD drives. • The VCS only supports mapping of USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 diskette drives and flash drives connected to the client computer.

If the target device is not capable of booting from an external USB 2.0 device, try the follow-
ing methods to remotely boot this target device:
Some BIOS versions provide an option to limit USB speeds. If this option is available to
you, change the USB port setting to “USB 1.1” or “Full Speed” mode and try booting
again.
Insert a USB 1.1 card and try booting again.
Insert a USB 1.1 Hub between the VCO cable and the target device and try booting again.
Contact the manufacturer of the target device for information on availability or plans of a
BIOS revision that will support booting from a composite USB 2.0 device.
