ROM Legacy USB Support
When using operating systems that support USB, your ProLiant ML370
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 the 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 Microsoft Windows 95 environment does not
support a USB mouse. During the SmartStart process, you must use a legacy PS/2 mouse.

SmartStart for Servers CD
The SmartStart for Servers CD is the recommended method for loading system
software, thereby achieving a well-integrated server and ensuring maximum
dependability and supportability. The SmartStart CD contains diagnostic
utilities and ROMPaq tools.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the SmartStart CD to load system software if you purchased
your system with a factory-installed operating system. Refer to the Compaq
Factory-Installed Operating System Software User Guide for software installation
guidelines.
