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
Diagnostic tools
HP Insight Diagnostics
HP Insight Diagnostics is a proactive server management tool, available in both offline and online versions,
that provides diagnostics and troubleshooting capabilities to assist IT administrators who verify server
installations, troubleshoot problems, and perform repair validation.
HP Insight Diagnostics Offline Edition performs various in-depth system and component testing while the OS
is not running. To run this utility, launch the SmartStart CD.
HP Insight Diagnostics Online Edition is a web-based application that captures system configuration and
other related data needed for effective server management. Available in Microsoft® Windows® and Linux
versions, the utility helps to ensure proper system operation.
For more information or to download the utility, refer to the HP website (
http://www.hp.com/servers/diags ).
HP Insight Diagnostics survey functionality
HP Insight Diagnostics (on page 123 ) 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 (" ProLiant Support Packs " on page 125 ).
NOTE: The current version of SmartStart provides the memory spare part numbers for the server.
To download the latest version, see the HP website ( http://www.hp.com/support ).
