USB 3.0
To support universal serial bus (USB) 3.0 in operating systems, set the extensible host controller interface (xHCI) XHCI
Hand-off option to enabled. To adjust this setting, access the BIOS setup screen and use the arrow keys to select the
Advanced tab, and then select USB Configuration.
NOTE: If the BIOS must support USB 2.0 devices, or legacy USB devices, leave the Legacy USB Support set to Enabled.

Because the system is connected using the universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART) console, a traditional keyboard
or mouse is not connected to the USB ports.

○ 10 G SFP+ optics
○ 1 G, only with Intel Dual Speed 10/1 G Optic on SFP+ ports
○ Regular 1 G SFP
● Six ports 10/100/1000MBase-T Ethernet
Trusted computing

ratio (PCR) banks and provides options to select SHA-1 or SHA256 for these banks. From the BIOS setup screen, use the arrow
keys to select the Advanced tab, and then select Trusted Computing BIOS settings.
