Hardware Options and Upgrades

By default, USB devices function only while the operating system is loaded. To use a USB keyboard or hub connected to a USB connector on the notebook during startup (before Windows loads) or in a non-Windows application or utility, enable USB legacy support in the Setup utility. For more information about using the Setup utility, see the “Using the Setup Utility” section in Chapter 9.
