USB connector, the Internal USB Port option must be enabled in the
Integrated Devices screen of the System Setup program. See "Integrated
Devices Screen" on page 20.
To boot from the USB memory key, you must configure the USB memory
key with a boot image and then specify the USB memory key in the boot
sequence in the System Setup program. See "Using the System Setup
Program" in the Hardware Owner's Manual. For information on creating
a bootable file on the USB memory key, see the user documentation that
accompanied the USB memory key.
