Smart Components for Remote ROM
Flash
Smart Components for Remote ROM Flash enables Microsoft
Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 operating system administrators to
efficiently upgrade and manage system and array controller ROMs. This tool
has the following features:
■ Works offline and online
■ Integrates with other Compaq software maintenance, deployment, and
operating system tools
■ Automatically checks for hardware, firmware, and operating system
dependencies, and installs only the correct ROM upgrades required by
each target server
ROM Legacy USB Support
When using operating systems that support USB, the ProLiant DL380
Generation 2 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.
NOTE: The Compaq SmartStart for Servers' Windows 95 environment does not support a
USB mouse. During the SmartStart process, you must use a legacy PS/2 mouse.
