Operating environments which do not provide native USB support

For more information on ProLiant USB support, refer to the HP website

).

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.

If a significant change occurs between data-gathering intervals, the Survey Utility marks the previous

information and overwrites the Survey text files to reflect the latest changes in the configuration.
