Internal USB Ports
The SMOD has two internal USB ports on the underside of the SMOD motherboard next to the
PCIe card riser slot. The ports are designated as P0 and P1.
Unless you have opted out, port P0 has a factory-installed flash drive that contains Oracle
System Assistant, a bootable server set-up, provisioning, and update tool. Port P0 can only be
used to support Oracle System Assistant. It cannot be used to boot an OS or store files unrelated
to Oracle System Assistant.
Energy Storage Module and Cable
The Energy Storage Module (ESM) provides backup power for the HBA. It sits in a holder in
the top center of the SMOD, and has a cable that connects it to the HBA.
