Configuration and utilities 79
Internal USB functionality
An internal USB connector is available for use with security key devices and USB drive keys. This solution
provides for use of a permanent USB key installed in the internal connector, avoiding issues of clearance on
the front of the rack and physical access to secure data.
For additional security, external USB functionality can be disabled through RBSU. Disabling external USB
support in RBSU disables the USB connectors on the local I/O cable. Internal USB functionality is unaffected.
Internal SD support
An internal SD connector is available for use with embedded Hypervisors. This solution provides for use of a
permanently installed SD card in the internal connector, decreasing the possibility of tampering or loss.
