HP ProLiant ML370 G5 Server - Manual (Page 90)

Configuration and utilities 90
• Diagnostics
• DOS
• Operating environments which do not provide native USB support
For more information on ProLiant USB support, refer to the HP website
( http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/platforms/usb-support.html ).
Internal USB functionality
An internal USB connector is available for use with USB drive keys only. This solution provides for use of
a permanent boot drive from a USB drive 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, you can disable the external USB connectors through RBSU. Disabling the rear
USB connectors in RBSU disables both rear USB ports.
Diagnostic tools
HP Insight Diagnostics survey functionality
HP Insight Diagnostics (on page 90 ) 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 (" ProLiant Support Packs " on page 92 ).
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 ).
Array Diagnostic Utility
The HP Array Diagnostics Utility is a web-based application that creates a report of all HP storage
controllers and disk drives. This report provides vital information to assist in identifying faults or conditions
that may require attention. ADU can be accessed from the SmartStart CD (" SmartStart software " on page
81 ) or downloaded from the HP website ( http://www.hp.com ).
HP Insight Diagnostics
HP Insight Diagnostics is a proactive server management tool, available in both offline and online
versions, that provides diagnostics and troubleshooting capabilities to assist IT administrators who verify
server installations, troubleshoot problems, and perform repair validation.
