      I’ve got two DH67BL systems (i3-2100T)… one for WHS2011 and one for my main Media Center in the living room.  I also have two DH67CF (Pentium G620T) systems both running Media Center, one for my guest bedroom and one for my garage.

      For the most part these systems run 1/2 headless, in that they have just TV as monitor and no keyboard (just IR remote for input).  The problem that I would like to solve is the warning the Intel BIOS shows when booting that there is no keyboard present.  It is only a delay and the system does eventually go on to fully start without errors, but I’d like to get rid of the delay if I could.

      I have the latest BIOS on all and have looked for an option to “ignore keyboard errors” but so far, have come up blank.

      Has anyone solved that problem?

        I was about to say it’s gotta be there, but I checked the BIOS user manual and couldn’t find it anywhere on the DH67CF board…hrmmm….

          Turn on “Fast Boot” and Disable Legacy USB in the BIOS.  I believe that has the same outcome.

          Note: It does prevent you from being able to get to the BIOS…to get to it hold down the power button for a few seconds when turning the system on.  I do this on all my media systems once they are stable.

            Thanks – I will give that a try.  Wouldn’t have thought to look there.
