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.

HP Insight Diagnostics survey functionality

HP Insight Diagnostics (on page

70

) 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 ("

).

NOTE:

The current version of SmartStart provides the memory spare part numbers for the

server. To download the latest version, see the HP website (
