USB support
Hitachi Vantara G2 servers support all USB operating speeds depending on the device that
is connected to the server.
External USB functionality
Hitachi Vantara 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.
