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

Allows management SW to read the revision level of the system board

level

Revision level is digitally encoded into the hardware and cannot be modified

Auto Setup when New

System automatically detects addition of new hardware

Hardware Installed

 

Serial, Parallel, USB,

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

Enable/Disable Port

 

Control

 

Removable Media Write/

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

Boot Control

media)

Power-On Password

Prevents an unauthorized person from booting up the computer

Setup Password

Prevents an unauthorized person from changing the system configuration

Replicated Setup

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

Alerts management console if memory is removed or changed

(Requires HP Client

 

Manager Software)

 

Thermal Alert (Requires

Monitors the temperature state within the chassis. Three modes:

HP Client Manager

NORMAL – normal temperature ranges

Software)

 

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

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

Security

 

Remote ROM Flash

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

Remote

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

Wakeup/shutdown

location.

 

Enables cost-effective power consumption when the administrator needs to distribute

 

software, perform security management, or update the ROM

ACPI (Advanced

Allows the system to wake from a low power mode

Configuration and Power

Controls system power consumption, making it possible to place individual cards and

Interface)

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

Asset tag

Allows user or MIS to set unique tag string in ROM

Ownership tag

Allows user or MIS to set unique tag string in ROM

Memory Scrubbing

Allows memory controller to transparently correct transient ECC errors in the background

Memory Remapping

Allows system memory lost to PCI devices to be reclaimed above 4 GB, for use with operating

 

systems that support more than 4 GB (Windows XP 64-bit edition, Linux)

Per-slot control

Allows individual slot configuration (option ROM., latency)

Adaptive cooling

Fan control parameters are set according to detected hardware configuration for optimal acoustics

Pre-boot diagnostics

Early (pre-video) critical errors are reported via beeps and blinks on the power LED
