Enable "legacy support" for USB ports (it's a BIOS setting).
Then the keyboard / mouse will work.

How do I get in the BIOS if my mouse and keyboard don't work. This server does not have PS2 ports.

Also, wouldn't that mean that the USB ports would never work?

So it is sure that even during bios time the keyboard does not work at all? F9,F1,F2,F11,F12,DEL won't bring you into BIOS?<br />
<br />
Have you removed ANY other device except your Keyboard?<br />
<br />

<br />
No.<br />

Edit: --&gt; As soon as the OS can load drivers for your USB devices, legacy mode is not needed anymore.

I have a Proliant server in which none of my USB ports work until the server gets to the Windows Server log in screen. &nbsp;I am wanting to reinstall Windows Server but I can't hit any keys on the keyboard to boot from CD. &nbsp;Once it boots up the mouse lights up and the keyboard works. &nbsp;I am not a server guy so I have no idea what I can do here.<br />

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Proliant DL360 G7 USB Disabled On Boot

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
