Software and configuration utilities  74 

Run the Erase Utility if you must erase the system for the following reasons: 

•

 

You want to install a new operating system on a server blade with an existing operating system. 

•

 

You encounter an error when completing the steps of a factory-installed operating system installation. 

To access the Erase Utility, use the System Erase button on the home screen of the SmartStart CD ("

SmartStart

" on page

). 

 

Redundant ROM support 

The server blade enables you to upgrade or configure the ROM safely with redundant ROM support. The 
server blade 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, ROMPaq 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. 

 

USB support and functionality 

USB support 

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 

 

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.
