USB Port x

Devices USB
• Enable
• Disable
• No Detect
Allows you to enable or disable individual USB ports.
If a USB keyboard is attached to a USB port that has
been disabled in BIOS, it will be enabled during POST
and Setup, but will be disabled before the operating
system boot.
All non-keyboard devices will be disabled during POST,
Setup and in the operating system. This means that
drives attached to disabled USB ports will not appear in
the BIOS boot order in Setup.
No Detect: skips the USB device detection on selected
ports during POST. The operating system is still able to
detect and use all USB devices plugged into the system.
This gives the advantage of a faster boot while still
having all USB devices available in the operating system.
