System Overview

2.3.9 Graphics Subsystem

In the standard configuration, these systems use the integrated graphics controller (IGC) of the Intel processor. Intel Celeron, Pentium, Core i3, and most Core i5 and Core i7 processors feaure the HD Graphics 2000 IGC while select Core i5 and Core i7 processor feature the HD Graphics 3000 IGC.

The Intel HD Graphics 2000 uses six execution units providing high-performance 2D and casual 3D capabilities. The Intel HD Graphics 3000 uses 12 execution units providing high-performance 3D capabilities without the need for a separate graphics card.

All systems include a legacy analog video (VGA) connector and a DisplayPort connector and support dual monitor operation. The DisplayPort includes a multimode feature that allows a VGA, DVI, or HDMI adapter to be connected to the DisplayPort.

For upgrading the graphics controller, the CMT, MT, and SFF form factors provide a PCIe 2.0 x16 graphics slot while the USDT form factor provides an MXM 3.0 slot.

2.3.10 Audio Subsystem

These systems use the integrated High Definition audio controller of the chipset and the Realtek ADL261 High Definition audio codec. HD audio provides enhanced audio performance with higher sampling rates, refined signal interfaces, and audio processors with increased signal-to-noise ratio. The audio line input jack can be re-configured as a microphone input, and multi-streaming is supported. These systems include a 1.5-watt output amplifier driving an internal speaker, which can be muted with the F10 BIOS control. All models include a front panel accessible stereo microphone input jack (re-taskable as a Line-In input) and a headphone output audio jack.

2.3.11 HP ProtectTools Embedded Security

HP ProtectTools Embedded Security is a hardware/software solution providing file and folder encrypytion service that integrates with the operating system. The software component—the HP ProtectTools Embedded Security Manager (preinstalled), controls the basic operation of the hardware component—the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) security chip. These components are compliant with the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) security standards organization.

HP ProtectTools Embedded Security includes the following features:

Enhanced Windows operating system files and folder encryption

Enhanced email encryption—built-in authentication for Outlook, Outlook Express, Lotus Notes, Eudora

Strengthens defense against hacking, system attacks, denial of service and network attacks

“Embedded smart card” functionality

Strengthens authentication with LANs, WANs.

Works with/enhances third-party security solutions

HP ProtectTools Embedded Security Manager is acecssed through a Windows Control Panel applet. The management functions are accessible through established protocols such as DMI, SNMP, or WEBEM.
