USB Configuration Parameter

Description

USB Mass Storage Reset Delay

This parameter defines the number of seconds POST waits for the USB mass storage device after issuing the Start Unit Command. The selections for this parameter are 10, 20, 30 and 40 seconds.

Emulation Type (this parameter is only configurable for Sun Blade X8400, X8420, and X8440 Server Modules)

You must select an emulation type for each USB device detected. You may select Auto, Floppy, Forced HDD, Hard Disk, or CD-ROM for this parameter.

  • If Auto is selected, USB devices less than 530 Mbytes will be emulated as Floppy and remaining as hard drive.

  • Selecting Forced HDD forces a formatted hard disk drive to boot as FDD, for example, as a zip drive.
