Internal USB functionality
An internal USB connector is available for use with USB drive keys only. This solution provides for use of
a permanent boot drive from a USB drive key installed in the internal connector, avoiding issues of
clearance on the front of the rack and physical access to secure data.
For additional security, you can disable the external USB connectors through RBSU. Disabling the rear
USB connectors in RBSU disables both rear USB ports.
