Installation Instructions
Overview
The USB Floppy Drive Key provides HP ProLiant server users
with an ultra-portable storage solution that supports both USB
drive key and USB floppy drive functionality.
The drive key is compatible with HP ProLiant servers running
Microsoft® Windows® Server™ 2000, Microsoft® Windows
Server™ 2003, and Linux distributions, including RedHat
Enterprise Linux 4, RedHat Enterprise Linux 5, and SUSE

Connecting the drive key
The device switch on the drive key determines how the device
is recognized. Under most operating systems, both the floppy
and drive key partitions are accessible regardless of the
position of the device switch.

loss can occur.
1. To connect the drive key, insert the key into the port.
2. To boot from the USB floppy partition of the device, set
the device switch to the floppy drive symbol before
powering up the system. The system boots from the
floppy partition of the device, if there are bootable files
in this partition.
3. To boot from the USB drive key partition of the device,
set the device switch to the hard drive symbol before
powering up the system. The system boots from the drive
key partition of the device, if there are bootable files in
this partition.
4. To use the drive key for file transfer or storage:
a. Wait for the operating system to load completely.
b. Remove the cap.
