detects that no OMU boards are running, the SAU board automatically enables its USB ports and
ports for commissioning. In this manner, users can commission the SAU board using these ports.
In other cases, if a USB port is enabled (or disabled), all USB ports on the SAU board will be
enabled (or disabled) regardless of the hardware type of USB flash drives.
