When the server boots, the system identifies whether the current ROM bank is corrupt. If a corrupt ROM is

detected, the system boots from the backup ROM and alerts you through POST or IML that the ROM bank
is corrupt.
If both the current and backup versions of the ROM are corrupt, the server automatically enters ROMPaq

disaster recovery mode.

USB support

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

operating system through the appropriate USB device drivers. HP provides support for USB devices prior

to the operating system loading through legacy USB support, which is enabled by default in the system
ROM. HP hardware supports USB version 2.0.
Legacy USB support provides USB functionality in environments where USB support is normally not

available. Specifically, HP provides legacy USB functionality at:

POST

RBSU

Diagnostics

DOS

Environments which do not support USB natively

Changing the USB version support

The factory default setting for this server is USB version 1.1. After the OS has loaded, this setting can be
changed to USB version 2.0 using the following steps:

1.

Access RBSU by pressing F9 during power up.

2.

Select System Options.

3.

Select USB External Port Capability.

4.

Press Enter to display USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 selections.

5.

Arrow down to highlight USB 2.0.

6.

Press Enter.

7.

Press F10 to save the change and exit RBSU.

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.
