Connecting non-HP USB disks to a Proliant server is not supported. The USB is intended to connect keyboard/mouse or a pen-drive to update firmware. These servers are not designed to have a storage device connected to the USB port all the time.

Hi,

in Server BIOS select:

Under "SystemOptions" --> USB control --> Legacy USB

this means that the USB ports will be active in the OS only and not during POST and BIOS
