USB support and functionality
USB support
HP provides both standard USB 2.0 support and legacy USB 2.0 support. Standard support is provided
by the OS through the appropriate USB device drivers. Before the OS loads, HP provides support for USB
devices through legacy USB support, which is enabled by default in the system ROM.
Legacy USB support provides USB functionality in environments where USB support is not available
normally. Specifically, HP provides legacy USB functionality for the following:
•
POST
•
RBSU
•
Diagnostics
•
DOS
•
Operating environments which do not provide native USB support
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.

HP Insight Diagnostics survey functionality
HP Insight Diagnostics (on page
) provides survey functionality that gathers critical hardware and
software information on ProLiant server blades.
This functionality supports operating systems that may not be supported by the server blade. For operating
systems supported by the server blade, see the HP website
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.
