HPE Insight Diagnostics survey functionality

HPE Insight Diagnostics (on page 85) provides survey functionality that gathers critical hardware and
software information on ProLiant servers.
This functionality supports operating systems that are supported by the server. For operating systems
supported by the server, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website
(http://www.hpe.com/info/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 Intelligent Provisioning-assisted Insight Diagnostics
installation, or it can be installed through the SPP.

HPE Insight Remote Support

Hewlett Packard Enterprise strongly recommends that you register your device for remote support to
enable enhanced delivery of your Hewlett Packard Enterprise warranty, HPE support services, or Hewlett
Packard Enterprise contractual support agreement. Insight Remote Support supplements your monitoring
continuously to ensure maximum system availability by providing intelligent event diagnosis, and
automatic, secure submission of hardware event notifications to Hewlett Packard Enterprise, which will
initiate a fast and accurate resolution, based on your product's service level. Notifications can be sent to
your authorized Hewlett Packard Enterprise Channel Partner for onsite service, if configured and
available in your country.
For more information, see Insight Remote Support and Insight Online Setup Guide for ProLiant Servers
and BladeSystem c-Class Enclosures on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website
(http://www.hpe.com/info/insightremotesupport/docs). Insight Remote Support is available as part of
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Warranty, HPE support services, or Hewlett Packard Enterprise contractual
support agreement.

USB support

Hewlett Packard Enterprise servers support both USB 2.0 ports and USB 3.0 ports. Both types of ports
support installing all types of USB devices (USB 1.0, USB 2.0, and USB 3.0), but may run at lower speeds
in specific situations:
•
USB 3.0 capable devices operate at USB 2.0 speeds when installed in a USB 2.0 port.
•
When the server is configured for UEFI Boot Mode, Hewlett Packard Enterprise provides legacy
USB support in the pre-boot environment prior to the operating system loading for USB 1.0, USB 2.0,
and USB 3.0 speeds.
•
When the server is configured for Legacy BIOS Boot Mode, Hewlett Packard Enterprise provides
legacy USB support in the pre-boot environment prior to the operating system loading for USB 1.0
and USB 2.0 speeds. While USB 3.0 ports can be used with all devices in Legacy BIOS Boot Mode,
they are not available at USB 3.0 speeds in the pre-boot environment. Standard USB support (USB
support from within the operating system) is provided by the OS through the appropriate USB device
drivers. Support for USB 3.0 varies by operating system.
For maximum compatibility of USB 3.0 devices with all operating systems, Hewlett Packard Enterprise
provides a configuration setting for USB 3.0 Mode. Auto is the default setting. This setting impacts USB
3.0 devices when connected to USB 3.0 ports in the following manner:
•
Auto (default)—If configured in Auto Mode, USB 3.0 capable devices operate at USB 2.0 speeds in
the pre-boot environment and during boot. When a USB 3.0 capable OS USB driver loads, USB 3.0
devices transition to USB 3.0 speeds. This mode provides compatibility with operating systems that
do not support USB 3.0 while still allowing USB 3.0 devices to operate at USB 3.0 speeds with
state-of-the art operating systems.
