HPE Smart Storage Administrator

The HPE SSA is a configuration and management tool for HPE Smart HBA and Smart Array controller
options. The HPE SSA exists in the following interface formats:
• HPE SSA GUI
• HPE SSA CLI
• HPE SSA Scripting
Although all formats support configuration tasks, some of the advanced tasks are available in only one format.
In this server, HPE SSA can be accessed in both online and offline modes. In online mode, SSA is only
accessible from the local server.
To access, install, and launch HPE SSA in an online environment, download the HPE SSA executables from
the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support Center website (http://www.hpe.com/support/hpesc). Under Select
your HPE product, enter the product name or number, and then click Go.
To access, install, and launch HPE SSA in an offline environment, download the HPE SSA ISO image from
the HPE Smart Storage Administrator website:

USB support

Hewlett Packard Enterprise servers support both USB 2.0 ports and USB 3.0 ports. Both port types support
installing all types of USB devices (USB 1.0, USB 2.0, and USB 3.0), but might 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.
• In UEFI boot mode, Hewlett Packard Enterprise provides legacy USB support in the preboot environment
before the operating system loads for USB 1.0, USB 2.0, and USB 3.0 speeds.
• In legacy boot mode, Hewlett Packard Enterprise provides legacy USB support in the preboot environment
before the operating system loads for USB 1.0 and USB 2.0 speeds. USB 3.0 ports can be used with all
devices in legacy boot mode but are not available at USB 3.0 speeds in the preboot 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.
The pre-OS behavior of the USB ports is configurable in the Aptio Setup Utility.

Keeping the system current

Firmware

Firmware is a software program that is stored in the system ROM chip on the system board or to an optional
controller. Firmware controls the system when it is first powered on and then passes control to the operating
system.
The firmware on the system board of the server is called the system ROM or the BIOS. The firmware on
another piece of hardware configured in the server is called the option ROM.
