System Setup and Boot
Basic system information regarding file, storage, security, and power configuration is maintained in the Setup Utility held in the system ROM. The Setup Utility is accessed by
pressing the F10 key when prompted (on screen) to do so during the boot sequence. If the
screen prompt opportunity is missed, a restart will be necessary.

Failsafe Boot Block ROM
The computer comes with a reprogrammable flash system ROM (read only memory). To
upgrade the ROM, you may:
a. Order an upgraded ROMPaq diskette from HP.
or
b. Download the latest ROMPaq images from the HP Web site (www.hp.com)
All ROMPaq ROM images from HP are digitally signed to ensure authenticity and mini-
mize potential corruption. Your system ROM includes a Failsafe Boot Block that is protected during the flash process and allows the computer to be restarted in the unlikely event
of an unsuccessful ROM flash.
If the system detects an invalid system ROM during the boot sequence the system will
sound one long and three short beeps, flash the three keyboard LEDs twice, and display a
recovery mode message on the screen. To recover from the Boot Block recovery mode
complete the following steps:
1. Remove any diskettes from the diskette drive and turn off power.
2. Insert a ROMPaq diskette into the diskette drive.
3. Turn on power to the system.
4. If a Setup password has been established, the Caps Lock LED will come on to prompt
you for the password. Enter the password.
5. A successful boot and ROM flashing (re-programming) with a ROMPaq diskette is
indicated by the three keyboard LEDs turning on and a series of beeps rising in tone.

SATA Configuration (select models only). Allows selection of UATA
and/or SATA controllers.
For Windows 2K and XP, UATA and SATA are confi gurable as separa te
controllers. Depending on model, up to 4 UA TA or 2 SATA devices may
be accessed.
For Window 98, and earlier OSs, UATA and SATA are configured as a
combined controller. Depending on model, up to 2 UATA or 2 SATA
devices may be accessed.
Boot Order. Allows selection of boot order of installed mass storage
devices (diskette, hard drive, CD-ROM, etc).

Security Functions
The system offers two passwords (Power-On and Setup) for system and data protection.
The passwords are independent of each other. The Power-On password, if established,
protects the computer from unauthorized access by prompting the user for a password during
power up. The Setup password, if established, protects the computer from unauthorized or
inadvertent re-configuration by prompting the user for a password prior to entering the Setup
Utility.
To establish a password:
1. Turn on or restart the computer. If you are in Windows, click Start > Shut Down >
Restart the computer.
2. When the F10 Setup message appears in the lower-right corner of the screen, press
the
F10 key. Press Enter to bypass the title screen, if necessary. If you do not press F10
when prompted, a restart will be necessary.
3. Select Security, then select Setup Password or Power-On Password and follow the
instructions on the screen.
4. Before exiting, click File > Save Changes and Exit.
Security Functions (Continued)
To change a password:
1. Turn on or restart the computer. If you are in Windows, click Start > Shut Down >
Restart the Computer. To change the setup password, run Computer Setup.
2. When the key icon appears, type your current password, a slash (/) or alternate delimiter character, your new password, another slash (/) or alternate delimiter character,
and your new password again as shown:
current password/new password/new password.
NOTE: Type the new password carefully since the actual characters do not appear
on the screen.
3. Press the enter key.
The new password will take effect the next time the computer is restarted.
To delete a password using Setup:
1. Turn on or restart the computer. If you are in Windows, click Start > Shut Down >
Restart the Computer. To delete the setup password, run Computer Setup (F10).
2. When the key icon appears, type your current password followed by a slash (/) or
alternate delimiter character as shown. Example: currentpassword/
3. Press the Enter key.
To delete the Setup password by clearing CMOS:
1. Shut down (Power down) the system and disconnect the power cord from the outlet
or the system unit.
2. Remove the chassis cover.
3. On the system board, press and release the CMOS clear switch.
4. Replace the chassis cover and reconnect the power cord.
To delete or disable the Power On password:
1. Shut down (Power down) the system and disconnect the power cord from the outlet
or the system unit.
2. Remove the chassis cover.
3. On the system board, remove the jumper on pins 1 and 2 of header E49 and place
only on pin 2.
4. Replace the chassis cover and reconnect the power cord.
