How can I boot by usb disk using S1200SPS board

[WChom]

I want my motherboard SP1200SP boot from usb disk.

So I had change the BIOS-

-> advanced

--> USB configuration

--> Mass storage device

6000 : from auto to "Harddisk"

Then I can see my USB disk in the list of Boot maintenance Manager.

But Strangely, it still cannot boot from usbdisk.

Is there anything I had made wrong setting?

btw, what is the meaning of "6000" ?

Thanks you all!

Hello chommy,

Did you try to run the USB by hitting F6 at the server startup?Regards,Charlie_Intel

Thanks, Charlie,

Yes, a bootable USB disk can boot ok by hitting F6.

But I cannot find my empty USB disk as hard disk while I try to install

Windows or linux on it.

Any setting should be altered ?

Hello chommy,

According to the information you provided you want to install the OS to a USB drive? You do not need to change any configuration in the Intel board, some OS installation does not allow to install in a removable disk, but if you want more information about it we recommend you to open a case with Windows or the corresponding OS.Regards,Charlie_Intel

In the beginning, after I plug my usb disk into another usb port,

my software installer finally can see it as a harddisk.

Unfortunately, It occurs usb disk I/O error while installing process is going.

I lose my usb disk again.

Now I doubt this is reverent to chipset of usb disk ?

Is there any compatitable list of the chipset of usb disk for this MB ?

Hello chommy,

This is reverent completely to the USB, almost all the new OS requires more stability and more capacity, the installation detects that is trying to install to a USB disk and avoids the installation, there should be a way to perform it but you need to consult it directly with them in order to have more accurate information.Regards,Charlie_Intel

Actually, The OS that I am trying to install is Esxi.

So it seems would be better I should consult VMware.

Right?
