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 before
the operating system loads through legacy USB support, which is enabled by default in the system ROM.

HP hardware supports USB version 1.1 or 2.0, depending on the version of the hardware.
Legacy USB support provides USB functionality in environments where USB support is normally not

available. Specifically, HP provides legacy USB functionality for:

POST

RBSU

Diagnostics

DOS

Operating environments which do not provide native USB support

Internal USB functionality

Two internal USB connectors ("

) are available for use with USB drive

keys only.
For additional security, you can individually disable the rear and internal USB connectors through the

RBSU. Disabling the rear USB connectors in the RBSU disables both rear USB ports.
