Booting from USB Disk:
If the host computer’s BIOS supports USB boot devices, it is possible to boot from
the emulated CD-ROM or oppy - allowing complete operating system replacement
without any on-site intervention.)
Please note that each BIOS manufacturer oers varying levels of support for USB boot
devices and may require conguration methods that are unique (to the manufacturer)
in order to utilize this feature. Similarly, please note that many BIOS’s provide a
simplied USB host stack and oer drivers that may not oer suitable reliability.
The rst step is getting a bootable disk image onto the emulated oppy or CD-ROM.
For CD-ROM images, you will need an .ISO image from a disk that contains special bits
to enable booting (“El Torito” standard). Nothing special is needed when reading the
ISO from a working, bootable CD-ROM.
To create a bootable oppy, you can format the emulated oppy from the target
system, or read the data from a working boot oppy. This can be done from Windows
using Disk Copy (right click on the drive letter in the Windows Explorer) or by using a
program like “RAWRITE”.
Once you have a bootable image (CD-ROM or oppy) working on the Enterprise Class
KVM unit, you must adjust your BIOS settings to tell it to boot from a USB device.
Please note: You must select USB CD-ROM as the boot device for the BIOS, if using a
CDROM image and USB Floppy if using a oppy image.
