Boot from USB

I need to install VM ESXI  so I nee to boot my server from USB. The USB Boot Support enabled. The boot mode was set to Legacy BIOS Mode When I save and exit it stops in a screen with multiple option to choose boot from which source. Number 2 is:
2) Boot from USB but not clicking on 2 or tab or arrows work to choose it. Removable Flash Media Boot Sequence is not activated. If I reboot the device nothing happens. How can I reboot it from USB?

Re: Boot from USB

Hello,

Could the boot mode be set to UEFI instead of Legacy and then attempted to boot from USB?

Regards,

Hi azadeh-samani 
           Post fresh installing the ESXi on USB stick.
Reboot the host and change the bios option to boot from USB.
What model hardware is this ?

 

Navigate to Bios boot option to modify the boot settings.
