Boot without keyboard

The system can boot with or without a keyboard. During POST, before the

 

 

system completes the boot sequence, the BIOS automatically detects and tests

 

 

the keyboard if it is present and displays a message. There is no entry in the

 

 

SSU to enable or disable a keyboard.

 

 

Specify the boot sequence

The sequence that you specify on the menu in the SSU MultiBoot Group will

 

 

determine the boot order. If secure mode is enabled (a user password is set),

 

 

then you will be prompted for a password before the server fully boots. If secure

 

 

mode is enabled and the “Secure Boot Mode” option is also enabled, the server

 

 

will fully boot but will require a password before accepting any keyboard or

 

 

mouse input.
