languages.
Support UEFI specification 2.3.1
Thermal and power management - The HP BIOS provides and enables thermal and power management
technologies so component temperatures are managed for high reliability and to assist in operating
the HP Business Desktop computer in any enterprise environment.
Thermal Controlled Fans – Automatic or manual controlled fan speeds for cooling and acoustic
performance 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 (DOSFlash), BIOS updates from within Windows
(HPQFlash), HP Client Manager, and fail-safe recovery (Emergency Boot Block Recovery).
HP BIOS uses PKI signing of the BIOS for trusted BIOS upgrades and recovery.
Serviceability - HP BIOS provides diagnostic and detailed service information.
Additional HP BIOS Features:
Power-On password - Helps prevent an unauthorized user from powering on the system.
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 Pro models use ACPI to provide power conservation features.
S5 Max Power Savings setting supports EU Lot6 requirement and allows the computer to power down
below 1W is S5 (when turned off). When S5 Max Power Savings feature is enabled power to slots is
turned off along with WOL functionality.
HP BIOS Protection – prevents unauthorized updates or changes to the BIOS due to malware, viruses,
or malicious BIOS updates. Based on NIST SP800-147 policy guidelines.
Fully manageable and supported by industry-standard HP Client Management Solutions. Optional LANDesk management
tools simplify mobile device management and security. Simplify everything from deployment or migration to daily
management, security, licensing, and more—and stop downtime before it starts.
Hardware Management: Inventory, Device config and BIOS updates, HW alerting, Driver updates
