D875PBZ - boot without keyboard?
Hi,
Tried to boot a B875PBZ without a keyboard attached and it would not boot? How do you get around this. Note: KVM would only work with KVM selected for D875PBZ based computer. I had planned to run this system headless, but I guess I need to keep a keyboard attached. Thanks, Alan |

You have to have a keyboard.

Wow! Not a biggie, but I find this interesting. All my old computers
expect one could boot without a keyboard being present. Usually you could turn the option off in the bios to force booting without a keyboard. I guess when intel says desktop board they really mean only for a desktop computer. Thanks for the info.

Go to where ever it is you bought the board from, and check their website for BIOS updates. Also, send them an email, tell them your problem, ask them what they recommend. At the very least it will generate discussion amongst them and maybe if its not already fixed they will ask their BIOS people about it, and that could lead to someone there seeing the light, assuming they don't already have a solution.

Thanks will do. I'm using the latest bios, and actually the previous bios did the same thing.

Hi,
Thanks to all that responded. I sent an e-mail to intel motherboard tech support. To my surprise I got an answer immediately. According to the tech something was grounding out my motherboard. The motherboard must be making ground contact with the case or power supply. He advised me take it out the case and test it on a grounded surface. Also he said make sure I remove all front header connectors. Of course being lazy ;-)) I simply removed the connector for the power supply fan. For some reason I suspected this as the problem. My power supply has a connector that is supposed to connect to the motherboard fan headers to monitor the power supply fan speed. Once I removed this connector from the motherboard, the D875PBZ booted up without a keyboard connected. Thanks for all the help, and the tip to e-mail tech support. Intel was quick to the point, and hit the nail on the head. Later, Alan |
