ML110 G7 problem with boot USB mouse and keyboard

[GoldFran]

 Hi.

I have Proliant ML110 G7 with custom spec. 

I configured RBSU-BIOS and USB options; push "USB Legacy disabled" for accident and don´t use USB mouse and keyboard in RBSU loaded, don´t open BIOS and Smartarray config etc.

What can I do to restore USB Enable?

I can open Windows, in Windows check ok USB kyboard and mouse.

Thanks

Clear the nvram.

Set dip switch 6 to on. boot up. When the system is telling you, power off and set switch 6 to off again. the server has now defaults.

That´s right! don´t remember this solucion.

My amateur Q: where is switch maintenance panel? I search in pdf manual? 

Thanks for your quickly answer

(2) is it:

Ok, I´m check it in a few hour and tell you!

My interest is install Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard x64 in this machine.

I read that It´s possible to start Proliant in USB boot mode, with a PenDrive 8Gb bootable Windows. I create it but don´t start in USB bootable mode. Press F9 to check USB enable. Then, press F11 to boot menu and 4) to run USB key (i think so) but don´t start USB boot. It´s procedure ok? The alternative option It´s run Windows DVD bootable.

I do one picture with trace to see:

I suppose that this is Switch maintenance, right? It´s very small, I think change jumper with pencil for example. This is the procedure?

1. Open case and turn switch nº 6 in off
2. Turn Proliant and wait to any message
3. Turn Proliant off and change by ON maintenance nº6 switch

Is this correct?

[Torsten.]

1. Open case and turn switch nº 6 in ON
2. Turn Proliant and wait to any message
3. Turn Proliant off and change by OFF maintenance nº6 switch

[GoldFran]

Oh! So sorry man... You alright!

default switch It´s off :)

Tomorro tell you!

Tanks

PS: Where is there a manual to Install Windows 2012 on Proliant Gen7?

Sorry to bring up such an old thread.

I have ML110 G7 and having the same problem. After follow the instruction i am still not able to get into BIOS using usb keyboard. I am very sure i did it right since screen show to switch back no.6 after it start up. So not sure what i can do next.

Thanks.

Hi Ref_Eric,

Did you see the message indicates that a maintenance switch has been turned on and the unit has been reset after switch S6 to on? If you have a high probability of a physical problem. If we go back before encountering this issue were you doing BIOS update?

[Ref_Eric]

Yes, did the bios reset with the no.6 switch. Screen show it been reset but still not able to use USB Keyboard.

I setup the ILO3 access, even thought i managed to boot into the BIOS thru ILO boot option but i still can't use keyboard when i am in the BIOS. Reset couple of times still the same not able to use keyboard.

Firmware was updated few months ago before i setup windows 10 so dont think is due to firmware but not sure.
