Recovering the Configuration Settings | HP Pro 4300 guide

Table 3-6Computer Setup—Advanced (for advanced users) (continued)

VGA Configuration	Displayed only if there is an add-in video card in the system. Allows you to specify which VGA
	controller will be the “boot” or primary VGA controller.

AMT Configuration	Allows you to set:
	● AMT (enable/disable). Allows you to enable or disable functions of the embedded
	Management Engine (ME) such as Active Management Technology (AMT). If set to disable,
	the Management Engine is set to a temporarily disabled state and will not provide functions
	beyond necessary system configuration. Default is enabled.
	● Unconfigure AMT/ME (enable/disable). Allows you to unconfigure any provisioned
	management settings for AMT. The AMT settings are restored to factory defaults. This
	feature should be used with caution as AMT will not be able to provide any set AMT
	management functions once unconfigured. Default is disabled.
	● Hide Unconfigure ME Confirmation Prompt (enable/disable). Allows you to set the system to
	not display the confirmation to unconfigure ME.
	● Watchdog Timer (enable/disable). Allows you to set amount of time for a operating system
	and BIOS watchdog alert to be sent if the timers are not deactivated. BIOS watchdog is
	deactivated by BIOS and would indicate that a halt occurred during execution if the alert is
	sent to the management console. An operating system alert is deactivated by the operating
	system image and would indicate that a hang occurred during its initialization. Default is
	enabled.

Recovering the Configuration Settings

This method of recovery requires that you first perform the Save to Removable Media command with the Computer Setup (F10) Utility before Restore is needed. (See Computer Setup—File on page 10 in the Computer Setup—File table.)

NOTE: It is recommended that you save any modified computer configuration settings to a USB flash media device and save the device for possible future use.

To restore the configuration, insert the USB flash media device with the saved configuration and perform the Restore from Removable Media command with the Computer Setup (F10) Utility. (See Computer Setup—File on page 10 in the Computer Setup—File table.)
