System Overview
2.3.9 Graphics Subsystem
In the standard configuration, these systems use the integrated graphics controller (IGC) of the
Intel processor. Intel Celeron, Pentium, Core i3, and most Core i5 and Core i7 processors feaure
the HD Graphics 2000 IGC while select Core i5 and Core i7 processor feature the HD Graphics
3000 IGC.
The Intel HD Graphics 2000 uses six execution units providing high-performance 2D and casual
3D capabilities. The Intel HD Graphics 3000 uses 12 execution units providing
high-performance 3D capabilities without the need for a separate graphics card.
All systems include a legacy analog video (VGA) connector and a DisplayPort connector and
support dual monitor operation. The DisplayPort includes a multimode feature that allows a
VGA, DVI, or HDMI adapter to be connected to the DisplayPort.
For upgrading the graphics controller, the CMT, MT, and SFF form factors provide a PCIe 2.0
x16 graphics slot while the USDT form factor provides an MXM 3.0 slot.
2.3.10 Audio Subsystem
These systems use the integrated High Definition audio controller of the chipset and the Realtek
ADL261 High Definition audio codec. HD audio provides enhanced audio performance with
higher sampling rates, refined signal interfaces, and audio processors with increased
signal-to-noise ratio. The audio line input jack can be re-configured as a microphone input, and
multi-streaming is supported. These systems include a 1.5-watt output amplifier driving an
internal speaker, which can be muted with the F10 BIOS control. All models include a front
panel accessible stereo microphone input jack (re-taskable as a Line-In input) and a headphone
output audio jack.
2.3.11 HP ProtectTools Embedded Security
HP ProtectTools Embedded Security is a hardware/software solution providing file and folder
encrypytion service that integrates with the operating system. The software component—the HP
ProtectTools Embedded Security Manager (preinstalled), controls the basic operation of the
hardware component—the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) security chip. These components are
compliant with the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) security standards organization.
HP ProtectTools Embedded Security includes the following features:
Enhanced Windows operating system files and folder encryption
Enhanced email encryption—built-in authentication for Outlook, Outlook Express, Lotus
Notes, Eudora
Strengthens defense against hacking, system attacks, denial of service and network attacks
“Embedded smart card” functionality
Strengthens authentication with LANs, WANs.
Works with/enhances third-party security solutions
HP ProtectTools Embedded Security Manager is acecssed through a Windows Control Panel
applet. The management functions are accessible through established protocols such as DMI,
SNMP, or WEBEM.
