System/Emergency ROM Recovers corrupted system BIOS

Flash Recovery with

Video

ROM revision levels

Identifies system ROM revision levels and reports in ROM-based F10 setup

Version is stored in an industry standard memory location (SMBIOS) so that management SW applications can use and report this information

System board revision level

Auto Setup when New Hardware Installed

Allows management SW to read the revision level of the system board Revision level is digitally encoded into the hardware and cannot be modified

System automatically detects addition of new hardware

Serial, USB, Audio,

Network, Enable/Disable

Port Control

Removable Media Write/ Boot Control

Power-On Password

Setup Password

Replicated Setup

Enable or disables serial, USB, audio, and network ports

Prevents ability to boot from removable media on supported devices (and can disable writes to media)

Prevents an unauthorized person from booting up the computer Prevents an unauthorized person from changing the system configuration

Saves BIOS settings to diskette or USB disk-on-key in human readable file. Repset.exe utility can then replicate these settings on machines being deployed without entering ROM-based F10 setup

Memory Change Alert

(Requires HP Client

Manager Software)

Alerts management console if memory is removed or changed

Thermal Alert (Requires

HP Client Manager

Software)

Monitors the temperature state within the chassis. Three modes:

NORMAL – normal temperature ranges

ALERTED – excessive temperatures are detected. Raises a flag so action can be taken to avoid shutdown or provide for a smoother system shutdown

SHUTDOWN – excessive temperatures are encountered. Automatically shuts down the computer without warning before hardware component damage occurs

Master Boot Record Security

Remote ROM Flash

Remote Wakeup/shutdown

Detects changes to MBR and optional restoration, useful in protecting from viruses

Provides secure, fail-safe ROM image management from a central network console

System administrators can power on, restart, and power off a client computer from a remote location.

Enables cost-effective power consumption when the administrator needs to distribute software, perform security management, or update the ROM

ACPI (Advanced

Configuration and Power

Interface)

Allows the system to wake from a low power mode

Controls system power consumption, making it possible to place individual cards and peripherals in a low-power or powered-off state without affecting other elements of the system

Supports ACPI 2.0 for full compatibility with 64-bit operating systems

Keyboard-less Operation The system can be operated without a keyboard

SMBIOS

System Management BIOS 2.3.5, previously known as DMI BIOS, for system management information

Localized ROM Setup

Common BIOS image supports configuration (Setup) in 11 languages, with local keyboard mappings
