If the problem persists, see "Getting Help" on page 179.
Troubleshooting Your System
Enter the System Setup program and reenter any custom BIOS settings that were reset. Be sure to leave all USB ports enabled. See "Using the System Setup Program" on page 43.
Reconnect the system and peripherals to power and restart.
f
g Set the NVRAM_CLR jumper to the disabled position. h Close the system.
i j
Repeat step 2 and step b.
If the problem is resolved, the problem was likely caused by an overcurrent event on one of the USB devices. If the problem persists, attempt to isolate the faulty device by trying different USB configurations.
If the problem is not resolved, proceed to the next step.
4 Reset the system BIOS to the default settings by setting the NVRAM _CLR jumper inside your system. Use the following procedure.
CAUTION: Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system cover and access any of the components inside the system. Before performing any procedure, see your Product Information Guide for complete information about safety precautions, working inside the computer and protecting against electrostatic discharge.
a Turn off the system and attached peripherals and unplug the system from the power source.
b Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 65.
c Locate the NVRAM_CLR jumper on your system board (see "Figure 6-1) and set the jumper to the enabled position.
d Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 66.
e Reconnect the system and peripherals to power and restart. If all USB devices are operational, proceed to the next step.
If the USB devices are still not functioning, see "Getting Help" on page 179.
Restart the system and reconnect the USB devices.
