USB diskette and CD-ROM drives
For driver installation purposes, a USB diskette drive and USB CD-ROM drive are sufficient, unless otherwise
indicated in driver-specific documentation.
NOTE: Do not use a USB drive key in place of the diskette drive. The OS does not support driver
installation from a USB drive key.
NOTE: HP recommends the use of HP standard USB disk drives.
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

on the HP website (http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Home.jsp). At the website,
click the link for "Support and Drivers."
