Software and configuration utilities 26
In a Microsoft® Windows® OS environment, driver installation is supported only with a USB diskette
drive, HP MicroServer remote access card Virtual Floppy, or Virtual Floppy with the embedded SATA
RAID Windows® driver.
Some servers do not ship with these drives as standard hardware.

HP Integrated Virtual Floppy and CD-ROM drives
HP MicroServer remote access card provides diskette drive and CD-ROM drive functionality through the
HP MicroServer remote access card Virtual Floppy and CD-ROM features.
USB diskette and CD-ROM drives
For driver installation purposes, a USB diskette drive and USB CD-ROM drive are sufficient, unless
otherwise indicated in driver-specific documentation.
NOTE: Do not use a USB drive key in place of the diskette drive. The OS does not support
driver installation from a USB drive key.
NOTE: HP recommends the use of HP standard USB disk drives.
HP 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, HP 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, HP provides legacy USB functionality for the following:
• POST
• RBSU
• Diagnostics
• DOS
• Operating environments which do not provide native USB support
Installing the Embedded SATA RAID driver with a USB diskette
drive
1. Boot the server, and then press F10 to enter the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU).
2. Enable the Embedded SATA RAID option under the Advanced Options section.
