Servers not booting without keyboard/mouse

I work in a colocation center, and I've found this happening more and more because of the types of boxes customers bring in. Several standard PC towers. Their machines won't boot up completely unless they have a keyboard and/or mouse plugged in. Does anyone know of any null adapters that could be plugged into the keyboard/mouse ports on these machines just so they'll boot. I'd rather not have a bunch of keyboards and mice plugged into all these servers....

Thanks
 
There's usually a BIOS option that turns off the halt on keyboard error. I know my servers BIOS has that feature.

Good point, I forgot about that...
