If the problem is not resolved, proceed to the next step to begin

troubleshooting the other USB devices attached to the system.

5 Power down all attached USB devices and disconnect them from the

system.

6 Restart the sled and, if your keyboard is functioning, enter the system

setup program. Verify that all USB ports are enabled. See "USB

Configuration" on page 98.
If your keyboard is not functioning, you can also use remote access. If the

system is not accessible, see "System Board Jumper Settings" on page 358

for instructions on setting the NVRAM Clear jumper inside your system

and restoring the BIOS to the default settings.

7 Reconnect and power on each USB device one at a time.
8 If a device causes the same problem, power down the device, replace the

USB cable, and power up the device.
If the problem persists, replace the device.
If all troubleshooting fails, see "Getting Help" on page 377.
