Integrated Management Log

The IML records hundreds of events and stores them in an easy-to-view form. The IML timestamps each event
with 1-minute granularity.
You can view recorded events in the IML in several ways, including the following:
•
From within HP SIM
•
From within HP UEFI System Utilities (on page 84)
•
From within the Embedded UEFI shell (on page 86)
•
From within operating system-specific IML viewers:
For Windows: IML Viewer
o
For Linux: IML Viewer Application
o
•
From within the iLO 4 web interface
•
From within HP Insight Diagnostics (on page 87)

USB support

HP provides standard USB 2.0 support, standard USB 3.0 support, and legacy USB support. Standard
support is provided by the OS through the appropriate USB device drivers.
Before the OS loads, HP provides support for USB 2.0 devices through legacy USB support, which is enabled
by default in the system ROM. USB 3.0 ports are not functional before the OS loads. The native OS provides
USB 3.0 support through appropriate xHCI drivers.
Legacy USB support provides USB functionality in environments where USB support is not available normally.
Specifically, HP provides legacy USB functionality for the following:
•
POST (system boot)
•
UEFI System Utilities
•
Pre-boot UEFI shell
•
DOS
•
Operating environments which do not provide native USB support

External USB functionality

HP 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.

Internal USB functionality

An internal USB connector is available for use with security key devices and USB drive keys. This solution
provides for use of a permanent USB key installed in the internal connector, avoiding issues of clearance on
the front of the rack and physical access to secure data.
