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.
External USB functionality
HP provides external USB support to enable local connection of USB devices for server administration,
configuration, and diagnostic procedures.
For additional security, external USB functionality can be disabled through RBSU.
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.
