3.4 ROM Flash

The computer comes with a reprogrammable flash ROM (read only memory). By establishing a setup password in Computer Setup (F10) Utility, you can protect the ROM from unintentional updates or overwrites. This protection is important to ensure the operating integrity of the computer. Should you need or want to upgrade your ROM, you may:

■Order an upgraded ROMPaq™ diskette from HP.

■Download the latest ROMPaq images from http://www.hp.com/support/files.

ÄCAUTION: For maximum ROM protection, establish a setup password. The setup password prevents unauthorized ROM upgrades. System Software Manager allows the system administrator to set the setup password on one or more PCs simultaneously. For more information, visit http://www.hp.com/go/ssm.

3.4.1Remote ROM Flash

Remote ROM Flash allows the system administrator to safely upgrade the ROM on remote HP computers directly from the centralized network management console. Enabling the system administrator to perform this task remotely on multiple computers and personal computers results in a consistent deployment of and greater control over HP PC ROM images over the network.

✎The computer must be powered on, or turned on through Remote Wakeup, to take advantage of Remote ROM Flash.

For more information on Remote ROM Flash, refer to the HP Client Manager Software or System Software Manager at http://h18000.www1.hp.com/im/prodinfo.html.
