Problem USB Passthrough on Intel server with vSphere 5.5 and 5.1u1

I have a problem on this Intel server:

Intel R2312IP4lHPC

12 x 3.5” hot-swap HDD 2 x 750 W AC Redundant PSU

2 x Xeon E5-2620 v.2

Intel® RAID Expander RES2SV240

Intel® Integrated RAID Module RMS25CB080 Firmware 23.18.0-0014

Intel® Remote Management Module 4

BIOS 02.01.0002 BMC 01.19r_5018 FRUSDR 1.11 ME 2.1.7.231

vSphere 5.5 Essential

The problem is:

When I enable passthrough on USB controller (C600/X79) , USB ports do not work anymore, not even on the host (not working keyboard, mouse, CD.....)

I tried to install 5.1 update1: if I try enable passthrough on the USB controller, after reboot, I am still the disabled passthrough

if i try to enable the passtrough also on other controllers (eg video card), after reboot the passthrough is enabled only on the video card

I tried to install 5.0 update 3 but hangs during the boot ....
