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
