ROM BIOS Information
Key features of the HP BIOS in the dx7300 include:
• Deployment and manageability – HP BIOS provides several technologies that help integrate the HP Business desktop
computer into the enterprise, such as PXE, remote configuration, remote control, and F10 Setup support for 12
languages.
• Stability – HP BIOS supports the HP stable product roadmap by releasing only critical BIOS changes to the factory and
advanced change notification.
• Thermal and power management – The HP BIOS provides and enables thermal and power management technologies to
assist in operating the HP Business Desktop computer in any enterprise environment.
• Serviceability – HP BIOS provides diagnostic and detailed service information.
• Upgrades and recovery – HP BIOS provides numerous ways to upgrade HP Business Desktop computers, including BIOS
updates from within DOS (ROMPAQ, Flashlite), BIOS updates from within Windows (CPQFlash, SSM), HP Client
Manager, and fail-safe recovery.
Additional HP BIOS Features
• Power-On password – Helps prevent an unauthorized user from powering on the system. After a TPM Basic User
password is established in windows, the user or admin can require TPM hardware based authentication during the
power-on process.
• Administrator password – Also known as the setup password, this helps prevent unauthorized changes to the system
configuration. If the administrator password is not known, the BIOS version cannot be changed and changes cannot be
made to BIOS settings using F10 setup or under the OS.
• Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) – Represents a significant innovation in power and configuration
management, allowing operating systems and applications to manage power based on activity and usage. HP Compaq
dx7300 models use ACPI to provide power conservation features under Windows XP.
