standard Japanese keyboard layout, 411, is fully supported. One IME, commonly represented in Windows XP as Microsoft Standard IME 2002, normally would not be supported. However, empirical testing has demonstrated that this IME is a near duplicate of keyboard layout 411 when typing simple characters. The software therefore switches this IME to keyboard layout 411 when securing the BIOS and HP Drive Encryption with localized Japanese passwords.
When available, Microsoft Office 2007 IME is a better choice. Despite the IME name, it is actually keyboard layout 411, which is supported.
