Redundant ROM support
The server enables you to upgrade or configure the ROM safely with redundant ROM support. The server
has a 8-MB ROM that acts as two, separate 4-MB ROMs. In the standard implementation, one side of the
ROM contains the current ROM program version, while the other side of the ROM contains a backup
version.
NOTE: The server ships with the same version programmed on each side of the ROM.
Safety and security benefits
When you flash the system ROM, ROMPaq writes over the backup ROM and saves the current ROM as a
backup, enabling you to switch easily to the alternate ROM version if the new ROM becomes corrupted
for any reason. This feature protects the existing ROM version, even if you experience a power failure
while flashing the ROM.
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
