USB support

Hewlett Packard Enterprise 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,
Hewlett Packard Enterprise 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, Hewlett Packard Enterprise provides legacy USB functionality for the following:
•
POST
•
RBSU
•
Diagnostics
•
DOS
•
Operating environments which do not provide native USB support

Automatic Server Recovery

ASR is a feature that causes the system to restart when a catastrophic operating system error occurs,
such as a blue screen, ABEND (does not apply to HPE ProLiant DL980 Servers), or panic. A system
fail-safe timer, the ASR timer, starts when the System Management driver, also known as the Health
Driver, is loaded. When the operating system is functioning properly, the system periodically resets the
timer. However, when the operating system fails, the timer expires and restarts the server.
ASR increases server availability by restarting the server within a specified time after a system hang. At
the same time, the SIM console notifies you by sending a message to a designated pager number that
ASR has restarted the system. You can disable ASR from the System Management Homepage or
through RBSU.
