The basic input/output system, which is a multi-purpose, stored, read-only
memory device on the system board, can enable and disable integrated and
peripheral components installed to the board. If the universal serial ports
aren't working, the USB controller could be disabled. Turning on USB in the BIOS
will restore function to the ports. If your business uses an older operating
system in order to access outdated hardware or software, you can also configure
the BIOS to enable the use of USB in operating systems that lack built-in
plug-and-play support.






 1. 1.
    
    Turn on or restart the PC. Press "Pause Break" before the Windows logo
    appears to halt the boot process.

    
    

 2. 2.
    
    Check the screen for instructions to boot to setup. Depending on the
    motherboard, the message might be "BIOS Setup: F8," "Press F8 to Enter
    BIOS." The keyboard command to enter the BIOS depends on the motherboard.

 3. 3.
    
    Press "Pause Break" and press the appropriate keys to access system setup.

 4. 4.
    
    Use the arrow key to select "Advanced," "Onboard Devices" or "Integrated
    Peripherals" from the menu. Press "Enter."

 5. 5.
    
    Select "USB Controller." Press "+" or "-" to change the setting to
    "Enabled."

 6. 6.
    
    Press "F10" to enable the USB ports and exit the BIOS.

Tips

 * To enable USB in older operating systems, select "USB Legacy Support," "USB
   Keyboard Support" or similar option and change the setting to "Enabled."
 * BIOS setup varies from motherboard to motherboard. Review the documentation
   that came with your computer if you have a difficult time navigating the
   BIOS.
