server supports USB devices, including, but not limited to:

CD-ROM drives
Diskette drives
Keyboard
Mouse
For other operating systems, the ROM provides USB support for keyboard and
mouse, but not for CD-ROM or diskette drives.
ROM Legacy USB support is available during POST, DOS, and while the operating
system is running. The ROM does not support hot-plug events for the USB keyboard
or USB mouse at any time. The maximum device support is two USB keyboards, two
USB mouse devices, and one layer of hubs.
IMPORTANT:
The ProLiant Essentials Foundation Pack Windows 95 environment does not
support a USB mouse. During the ProLiant Essentials process, you must use a legacy PS/2
mouse.
