USB support

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Gen10 server blades support all USB operating speeds depending on the
device that is connected to the server blade.

External USB functionality

Hewlett Packard Enterprise provides external USB support to enable local connection of USB devices for
server blade administration, configuration, and diagnostic procedures.
For additional security, external USB functionality can be disabled through USB options in UEFI System
Utilities.

Redundant ROM support

The server blade enables you to upgrade or configure the ROM safely with redundant ROM support. The
server blade has a single ROM that acts as two separate ROM images. 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 blade ships with the same version programmed on each side of the ROM.

Safety and security benefits

When you flash the system ROM, the flashing mechanism 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.
