Crashyoverrides Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Thinking this is just a noob of all time question but I need help please. I have a new to me Supermicro SC825 I successfully setup a USB boot stick. Plug it in… startup I see the blue box with web gui option but keyboard and mouse are unresponsive (lights on for each device) and in a blink of an eye it auto starts and leads me to an Unraid command line. Now what do I do please..?? Quote Link to comment

JonathanM Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Check for USB legacy support in the BIOS. Quote Link to comment
Crashyoverrides Posted August 26, 2022 Author Share Posted August 26, 2022 The server is seeing the USB stick new to this but wouldn't that indicate USB support..? Quote Link to comment

Solution Crashyoverrides Posted August 27, 2022 Author Solution Share Posted August 27, 2022 Thanks for help I went out and bought a legacy connector keyboard. Might have fixed. So even with new keyboard when I get to the boot graphic using tab as directed bypasses and takes me to command prompt. Using up and down arrow worked though. I haven’t tried via USB keyboard. I did note the first command being performed in startup is loading USB drivers. Thanks again moving on and marking fixed. Quote Link to comment

JonathanM Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 If your BIOS has the option, the USB keyboard emulates a legacy keyboard. That's what I wanted you to look in your BIOS for USB legacy options. Quote Link to comment
