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
