Description
This is to introduce how to disable USB storage ports under SunRay[TM] system
to avoid manual data leak using USB storage devices.

Steps to Follow
1. Background
There is a requirement to implement more secure environment than
default SunRay configuration. We may need to disable USB storage
ports to prevent from manual data leak using USB storage devices.
2. SunRay Client
There is no function to disable USB ports from client side. There
is no BIOS setting like PC. When booting up, SunRay clients soon access
SunRay server to configure itself.
3. SunRay server software
SunRay server software has a function to disable USB storage
by using following commands. It does not affect USB keyboard/mouse
according to SunRay Software Manual.
