USB support

HP provides both standard USB 2.0 support and legacy USB 2.0 support. Standard support is provided by

the OS through the appropriate USB device drivers. Before the OS loads, HP provides support for USB

devices through legacy USB support, which is enabled by default in the system ROM.
Legacy USB support provides USB functionality in environments where USB support is not available normally.

Specifically, HP provides legacy USB functionality for the following:

POST

RBSU

Diagnostics

DOS

Operating environments which do not provide native USB support

Diagnostic tools

HP Insight Diagnostics survey functionality

HP Insight Diagnostics provides survey functionality that gathers critical hardware and software information
on ProLiant servers.
This functionality supports operating systems that may not be supported by the server. For operating systems

supported by the server, see the HP website (

http://www.hp.com/go/supportos

).

If a significant change occurs between data-gathering intervals, the survey function marks the previous

information and overwrites the survey data files to reflect the latest changes in the configuration.
Survey functionality is installed with every SmartStart-assisted HP Insight Diagnostics installation, or it can be

installed through the HP PSP.

NOTE:

The current version of SmartStart provides the memory spare part numbers for the server.

To download the latest version, see the HP website (

http://www.hp.com/support

).
