@corttex,

This circa 2011 HP only supports USB1.1 and USB2.0 source pg 5-9 section 5.6

These systems provide ten externally-accessible USB ports; four front panel USB ports (which

may be disabled) and six USB ports on the rear panel. In addition, the SFF and CMT form factors

support a media reader accessory that uses two USB ports through a system board header

connection. The USB ports are dynamically configured to either a USB 1.1 controller or the USB

2.0 controller depending on the capability of the peripheral device. The 1.1 controllers provide a

maximum transfer rate of 12 Mb/s while the 2.0 controller provides a maximum transfer rate of

480 Mb/s.
