USB support
Hewlett Packard Enterprise servers support both USB 2.0 ports and USB 3.0 ports. Both port types support
installing all types of USB devices (USB 1.0, USB 2.0, and USB 3.0), but might run at lower speeds in specific
situations:
• USB 3.0 capable devices operate at USB 2.0 speeds when installed in a USB 2.0 port.
• In UEFI boot mode, Hewlett Packard Enterprise provides legacy USB support in the preboot environment
before the operating system loads for USB 1.0, USB 2.0, and USB 3.0 speeds.
• In legacy boot mode, Hewlett Packard Enterprise provides legacy USB support in the preboot environment
before the operating system loads for USB 1.0 and USB 2.0 speeds. USB 3.0 ports can be used with all
devices in legacy boot mode but are not available at USB 3.0 speeds in the preboot environment.
Standard USB support (USB support from within the operating system) is provided by the OS through the
appropriate USB device drivers. Support for USB 3.0 varies by operating system.
The pre-OS behavior of the USB ports is configurable in the Aptio Setup Utility.
Keeping the system current
Firmware
Firmware is a software program that is stored in the system ROM chip on the system board or to an optional
controller. Firmware controls the system when it is first powered on and then passes control to the operating
system.
