Background

For decades, HP has provided unique customer value through our internally developed BIOS. This has allowed HP to provide a high degree of integration between the firmware and HP Professional Innovations such as HP ProtectTools, HP Wireless Assistant and HP QuickLook. Options for many of these features are configured through F10 Setup, the BIOS configuration user interface provided with HP PCs.
In mid-2008, HP introduced an updated version of F10 Setup on new models. This enhanced F10 Setup provi des users with an intuit ive graphical user interface whic h l everages from the design used with the HP ProtectTools BIOS Configuration module.

Overview

Since 1999, HP Compaq business notebooks have utilized a text based F10 Setup which provided users with access to a broad set of functions and configuration options, but required keyboard navigatio n. In 2008, a new F10 Se t up user interface has been developed using the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) framework, which provides a flexible pre operating system environment. While there are significant improvements to the user interface, features and functionality are not impacted by this change.

Features

HP F10 Setup provides access to the impressive set of features support by HPs ROM BIOS (Read Only Memory Basic Input/Ouput System). The BIOS is the set of routines that enable a computer

to load the operating system and communicate with the various devices, such as storage drives, keyboard, display, slots, and ports.
HP F10 Setup features are separated in several groups or categories: File – Provides access to genera l options such as view system informatio n, set date and time, exit
F10 Setup with and without saving changes to settings and Syste m Diagnostics. Security – Provides access to security related options such as power on and DriveLock passwords,
integrated security device confi guration, Disk Sanitizer, Intel Anti Theft and asset tag configuration.
System Confi gur ati o n – Provides access to boot options, integrated device configuration, port options, AMT options (on select models), and F10 Setup feature access options.
HP F10 Setup for business notebooks had extensive language support. The new graphical user interface can be displayed in Engl ish, Frenc h, German, Spanish, I t alian, Dutch, Danish, Japanese , Norwegian, Portuguese, Swedish or Finnish. Switching languages is simple using the Language selection options available from the System Configuration page.
For a detail list of F10 Setup options, please refer to Table 1.
