ROM Features

Instantly Available PC

ROM Based F10 Setup and diagnostics

Description

Allows for very low power consumption with quick resume time

Review and customize BIOS settings

Remote System Installation via F12 (PXE) (Remote Boot from Server)

Allows a new or existing system to boot over the network and download software, including the operating system

System/Emergency ROM Flash Recovery with Video

Recovers corrupted system BIOS

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

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

Auto Setup when New Hardware System automatically detects addition of new hardware Installed

Serial, Parallel, USB, Audio,

Network, Enable/Disable Port

Control

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

Removable Media Write/ Boot Control

Power-On Password

Setup Password

Replicated Setup

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 Alerts management console if memory is removed or changed HP Client Manager Software)

Thermal Alert (Requires HP Client Manager Software)

Master Boot Record Security

Remote ROM Flash

Remote Wakeup/shutdown

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

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

SMBIOS

Localized ROM Setup

Asset tag

Ownership tag

Memory Scrubbing

Memory Remapping

The system can be operated without a keyboard

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

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

Allows user or MIS to set unique tag string in ROM

Allows user or MIS to set unique tag string in ROM

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

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
