Simply having USB ports physically present is not sufficient to boot from USB. It is not supported by a surprisingly large number of systems, especially on systems from OEMs that roll their own UEFI firmware or first/second generation UEFI systems. Additionally, many mainline servers, even today, still do not support boot from USB, and many that do support booting from USB don't support booting from USB images over their remote management interfaces, only optical images to emulate an optical disk. -- John M.
