1Installing and Customizing the Software

If your computer was not shipped with a Microsoft operating system, some portions of this documentation do not apply. Additional information is available in online help after you install the operating system.

NOTE: If the computer was shipped with Windows Vista or Windows 7 loaded, you will be prompted to register the computer with HP Total Care before installing the operating system. You will see a brief movie followed by an online registration form. Fill out the form, click the Begin button, and follow the instructions on the screen.

CAUTION: Do not add optional hardware or third-party devices to the computer until the operating system is successfully installed. Doing so may cause errors and prevent the operating system from installing properly.

NOTE: Be sure there is a 10.2-cm (4-inch) clearance at the back of the unit and above the monitor to permit the required airflow.

Installing the Windows Operating System

The first time you turn on the computer, the operating system is installed automatically. This process takes about 5 to 10 minutes, depending on which operating system is being installed. Carefully read and follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.

CAUTION: Once the automatic installation has begun, DO NOT TURN OFF THE COMPUTER UNTIL THE PROCESS IS COMPLETE. Turning off the computer during the installation process may damage the software that runs the computer or prevent its proper installation.

NOTE: If the computer shipped with more than one operating system language on the hard drive, the installation process could take up to 60 minutes.

If your computer was not shipped with a Microsoft operating system, some portions of this documentation do not apply. Additional information is available in online help after you install the operating system.

Installing the Windows Operating System

1

Downloading Microsoft Windows Updates

1.To set up your Internet connection, click Start > Internet Explorer and follow the instructions on the screen.

2.Once an Internet connection has been established, click the Start button.

3.Select the All Programs menu.

4.Click on the Windows Update link.

In Windows Vista and Windows 7, the Windows Update screen appears. Click view available updates and make sure all critical updates are selected. Click the Install button and follow the instructions on the screen.

In Windows XP, you will be directed to the Microsoft Windows Update Web site. If you see one or more pop-up windows that ask you to install a program from http://www.microsoft.com, click Yes to install the program. Follow the instructions on the Microsoft Web site to scan for updates and install critical updates and service packs.

It is recommended that you install all of the critical updates and service packs.

5.After the updates have been installed, Windows will prompt you to reboot the machine. Be sure to save any files or documents that you may have open before rebooting. Then select Yes to reboot the machine.

Installing or Upgrading Device Drivers (Windows systems)

When installing optional hardware devices after the operating system installation is complete, you must also install the drivers for each of the devices.

If prompted for the i386 directory, replace the path specification with C:\i386, or use the Browse button in the dialog box to locate the i386 folder. This action points the operating system to the appropriate drivers.

Obtain the latest support software, including support software for the operating system from http://www.hp.com/support. Select your country and language, select Download drivers and software (and firmware), enter the model number of the computer, and press Enter.

Customizing the Monitor Display (Windows systems)

If you wish, you can select or change the monitor model, refresh rates, screen resolution, color settings, font sizes, and power management settings. To do so, right-click on the Windows Desktop, then click Personalize in Windows Vista and Windows 7 or Properties in Windows XP to change display settings. For more information, refer to the online documentation provided with the graphics controller utility or the documentation that came with your monitor.

Chapter 1 Installing and Customizing the Software

Launching Windows XP from Windows 7

Windows XP Mode for Windows 7 allows you to install and launch Windows XP applications from the Windows 7 taskbar. This feature is available on some computer models only.

To set up from a pre-installed Windows 7 desktop, click Start > Windows Virtual PC > Virtual Windows XP and follow the instructions on the screen.

Accessing Disk Image (ISO) Files

There are disk image files (ISO files) included on your PC that contain the installation software for additional software. These CD image files are located in the folder C:\SWSetup\ISOs. Each .iso file can be burned to CD media to create an installation CD. It is recommended that these disks be created and the software installed in order to get the most from your PC. The software and image file names are:

Corel WinDVD SD and BD – installation software for WinDVD – used to play DVD movies

HP Insight Diagnostics OR Vision Diagnostics – software to perform diagnostic activities on your PC

Computer Setup (F10) Utilities

Use Computer Setup (F10) Utility to do the following:

Change factory default settings.

Set the system date and time.

Set, view, change, or verify the system configuration, including settings for processor, graphics, memory, audio, storage, communications, and input devices.

Modify the boot order of bootable devices such as hard drives, optical drives, or USB flash media devices.

Enable Quick Boot, which is faster than Full Boot but does not run all of the diagnostic tests run during a Full Boot. You can set the system to:

always Quick Boot (default);

periodically Full Boot (from every 1 to 30 days); or

always Full Boot.

Select Post Messages Enabled or Disabled to change the display status of Power-On Self-Test (POST) messages. Post Messages Disabled suppresses most POST messages, such as memory count, product name, and other non-error text messages. If a POST error occurs, the error is displayed regardless of the mode selected. To manually switch to Post Messages Enabled during POST, press any key (except F1 through F12).

Establish an Ownership Tag, the text of which is displayed each time the system is turned on or restarted.

Enter the Asset Tag or property identification number assigned by the company to this computer.

Enable the power-on password prompt during system restarts (warm boots) as well as during power-on.

Establish a setup password that controls access to the Computer Setup (F10) Utility and the settings described in this section.

Secure integrated I/O functionality, including the serial, USB, or parallel ports, audio, or embedded NIC, so that they cannot be used until they are unsecured.

4

Chapter 2 Computer Setup (F10) Utility

Enable or disable removable media boot ability.

Solve system configuration errors detected but not automatically fixed during the Power-On SelfTest (POST).

Replicate the system setup by saving system configuration information on a USB device and restoring it on one or more computers.

Execute self-tests on a specified ATA hard drive (when supported by drive).

Enable or disable DriveLock security (when supported by drive).

Using Computer Setup (F10) Utilities

Computer Setup can be accessed only by turning the computer on or restarting the system. To access the Computer Setup Utilities menu, complete the following steps:

1.Turn on or restart the computer. If you are in Microsoft Windows, click Start > Shut Down >

Restart.

2.Press either Esc or F10 while the “Press the ESC key for Startup Menu” message is displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Pressing Esc displays a menu that allows you to access different options available at startup.

NOTE: If you do not press Esc or F10 at the appropriate time, you must restart the computer and again press Esc or F10 when the monitor light turns green to access the utility.

3.If you pressed Esc, press F10 to enter Computer Setup.

4.A choice of five headings appears in the Computer Setup Utilities menu: File, Storage, Security, Power, and Advanced.

5.Use the arrow (left and right) keys to select the appropriate heading. Use the arrow (up and down) keys to select the option you want, then press Enter. To return to the Computer Setup Utilities menu, press Esc.

6.To apply and save changes, select File > Save Changes and Exit.

If you have made changes that you do not want applied, select Ignore Changes and Exit.

To reset to factory settings or previously saved default settings (some models), select Apply Defaults and Exit. This option will restore the original factory system defaults.

CAUTION: Do NOT turn the computer power OFF while the BIOS is saving the Computer Setup (F10) changes because the CMOS could become corrupted. It is safe to turn off the computer only after exiting the F10 Setup screen.

Device

Lists all installed BIOS-controlled storage devices.

Configuration

When a device is selected, detailed information and options are displayed. The following options

 

 

may be presented:

 

CD-ROM: Size, model, firmware version, serial number, connector color (not included for USB CD-

 

ROM).

 

Hard Disk: Size, model, firmware version, serial number, connector color.

 

SMART (ATA disks only)

 

Translation mode (ATA disks only)

 

Connector color(ATA disks only)

 

Lets you select the translation mode to be used for the device. This enables the BIOS to access

 

disks partitioned and formatted on other systems and may be necessary for users of older

 

versions of UNIX (e.g., SCO UNIX version 3.2). Options are Automatic, Bit-Shift, LBA Assisted,

 

User, and Off.

 

Available only when the drive translation mode is set to User, allows you to specify the

 

parameters (logical cylinders, heads, and sectors per track) used by the BIOS to translate disk

 

I/O requests (from the operating system or an application) into terms the hard drive can

 

accept. Logical cylinders may not exceed 1024. The number of heads may not exceed 256.

 

The number of sectors per track may not exceed 63.

 

CAUTION: Ordinarily, the translation mode selected automatically by the BIOS should not

 

be changed. If the selected translation mode is not compatible with the translation mode that

 

was active when the disk was partitioned and formatted, the data on the disk will be

 

inaccessible.

 

Diskette: Model and firmware version.

 

NOTE: Displays for USB diskette drives.

Storage Options

eSATA Port (some models)

 

Allows you to set a SATA port as an eSATA port for use with an external drive. Default is enabled.

 

This setting affects only the port with the black connector, labeled as eSATA on the system board.

 

This port should have the eSATA back panel connector attached to use eSATA drives. For more

 

information, see the eSATA white paper at www.hp.com.

 

SATA Emulation

 

Allows you to choose how the SATA controller and devices are accessed by the operating system.

 

There are three supported options: IDE, RAID, and AHCI (default).

 

IDE - This is the most backwards-compatible setting of the three options. Operating systems usually

 

do not require additional driver support in IDE mode.

 

RAID - Allows DOS and boot access to RAID volumes. Use this mode with the RAID device driver

 

loaded in the operating system to take advantage of RAID features.

 

AHCI (default option) - Allows operating systems with AHCI device drivers loaded to take

 

advantage of more advanced features of the SATA controller.

 

NOTE: The RAID/AHCI device driver must be installed prior to attempting to boot from a RAID/

 

AHCI volume. If you attempt to boot from a RAID/AHCI volume without the required device driver

 

installed, the system will crash (blue screen). RAID volumes may become corrupted if they are

 

booted to after disabling RAID.

 

NOTE: RAID is not available on USDT systems.

 

Removable Media Boot

 

Enables/disables ability to boot the system from removable media. Default is enabled.

 

Max eSATA Speed (some models)

 

Allows you to choose 1.5 Gbps or 3.0 Gpbs as the maximum eSATA speed. By default, the speed

 

is limited to 1.5 Gbps for maximum reliability.

 

CAUTION: Consult your eSATA drive and cable manufacturer before enabling 3.0 Gpbs speed.

 

Some drive and cable combinations may not run reliably at 3.0 Gpbs.

 

NOTE: eSATA is not available on USDT systems.

DPS Self-Test

Allows you to execute self-tests on ATA hard drives capable of performing the Drive Protection

 

System (DPS) self-tests.

 

NOTE: This selection will only appear when at least one drive capable of performing the DPS self-

 

tests is attached to the system.

 

 

Boot Order

Allows you to:

 

Specify the order in which EFI boot sources (such as a internal hard drive, USB hard drive,

 

 

USB optical drive, or internal optical drive) are checked for a bootable operating system

 

 

image. Each device on the list may be individually excluded from or included for consideration

 

 

as a bootable operating system source.

 

 

EFI boot sources always have precedence over legacy boot sources.

 

Specify the order in which legacy boot sources (such as a network interface card, internal

 

 

hard drive, USB optical drive, or internal optical drive) are checked for a bootable operating

 

 

system image. Each device on the list may be individually excluded from or included for

 

 

consideration as a bootable operating system source.

 

Specify the order of attached hard drives. The first hard drive in the order will have priority in

 

 

the boot sequence and will be recognized as drive C (if any devices are attached).

NOTE: You can use F5 to disable individual boot items, as well as disable EFI boot and/or legacy boot.

NOTE: MS-DOS drive lettering assignments may not apply after a non-MS-DOS operating system has started.

Shortcut to Temporarily Override Boot Order

To boot one time from a device other than the default device specified in Boot Order, restart the computer and press Esc (to access the boot menu) and then F9 (Boot Order), or only F9 (skipping the boot menu) when the monitor light turns green. After POST is completed, a list of bootable devices is displayed. Use the arrow keys to select the preferred bootable device and press Enter. The computer then boots from the selected non-default device for this one time.

Press the ESC key for Startup Menu (Enable/Disable). Default is enabled.

 

Option ROM Prompt (enable/disable). Enabling this feature will cause the system to display a

 

message before loading option ROMs. Default is enabled.

 

After Power Loss (off/on/previous state). Default is Power off. Setting this option to:

 

Power off—causes the computer to remain powered off when power is restored.

 

Power on—causes the computer to power on automatically as soon as power is restored.

 

Previous state—causes the computer to power on automatically as soon as power is

 

 

restored, if it was on when power was lost.

 

NOTE: If you turn off power to the computer using the switch on a power strip, you will not be

 

able to use the suspend/sleep feature or the Remote Management features.

 

POST Delay (in seconds). Enabling this feature will add a user-specified delay to the POST

 

process. This delay is sometimes needed for hard disks on some PCI cards that spin up very

 

slowly, so slowly that they are not ready to boot by the time POST is finished. The POST delay

 

also gives you more time to select F10 to enter Computer (F10) Setup. Default is None.

 

Remote Wakeup Boot Source (remote server/local hard drive). Default is Local hard drive.

 

System Recovery Boot Support (Enable/Disable). Provides the ability for the BIOS to redirect

Internal Speaker (some models) (does not affect external speakers). Default is enabled.

 

NIC Option ROM Download (PXE, iSCSI, disabled). The BIOS contains an embedded NIC

 

option ROM to allow the unit to boot through the network to a PXE server. This is typically used

 

to download a corporate image to a hard drive. The NIC option ROM takes up memory space

 

below 1MB commonly referred to as DOS Compatibility Hole (DCH) space. This space is

 

limited. This F10 option will allow users to disable the downloading of this embedded NIC

 

option ROM thus giving more DCH space for additional PCI cards which may need option

 

ROM space. The default will be to have the NIC option-ROM-enabled. Default is PXE.

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.

 

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.
