Array controllers. Some HPE SSA features are only available in the offline environment, such as setting the boot controller
and boot volume.

Accessing HPE SSA in the online environment
This method requires an administrator to download the HPE SSA executables and install them. You can run HPE SSA
online after launching the host operating system.
For more information, see HPE Smart Array SR Gen10 Configuration Guide at the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.
HPE InfoSight for servers
The HPE InfoSight portal is a secure web interface hosted by HPE that allows you to monitor supported devices through a
graphical interface.
HPE InfoSight for servers:
•
Combines the machine learning and predictive analytics of HPE InfoSight with the health and performance monitoring of
Active Health System (AHS) and HPE iLO to optimize performance and predict and prevent problems
•
Provides automatic collection and analysis of the sensor and telemetry data from AHS to derive insights from the
behaviors of the install base to provide recommendations to resolve problems and improve performance

USB support
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Gen10 and Gen10 Plus servers support all USB operating speeds depending on the device that is
connected to the server.
External USB functionality
Hewlett Packard Enterprise provides external USB support to enable local connection of USB devices for server 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 enables you to upgrade or configure the ROM safely with redundant ROM support. The server 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 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.
