Setup 25
Connecting peripheral devices
The I/O connectors are color coded and are marked with icons.
The server has seven USB connectors:
• Four external USB 2.0 connectors, two each on the front and rear panels
• Two external rear USB 3.0 connectors
• One internal USB 2.0 connector on the system board
The system ROM has inherent USB 2.0 support. These connectors are functional even before the OS
loads. During the initial server setup or when configuring BIOS settings, connect USB devices to the USB 2.0
connectors.
The USB 3.0 connectors are OS-dependent. These connectors are functional only after the OS loads.
Furthermore, the following two OSs require the installation of the USB 3.0 device driver:
• Microsoft Windows Server 2008 SP2 (x86 and x86-64 editions)
• Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
The USB 3.0 driver is included in the SPP download when performing an Intelligent Provisioning-assisted
system setup. For more information about Intelligent Provisioning drivers, firmware, and SPP, see the HP
website (http://www.hp.com/go/spp/download).
Connecting the Ethernet cable
The server supports the following Ethernet connectors located on the rear panel:
• NIC 1/shared iLO connector
• NIC 2 connector
