Changing BIOS Settings from the HP BIOS Congure Utility
(HPBCU)
Some BIOS settings may be changed locally within the operating system without having to go through the
F10 utility. This table identies the items that can be controlled with this method.
HP Device Manager can be used to update the BIOS of a thin client. Customers can use a pre-built BIOS add-on
or can use the standard BIOS upgrade package along with an HP Device Manager File and Registry template.
For more information on HP Device Manager File and Registry templates, review the HP Device Manager User Guide found at www.hp.com/go/hpdm.
Windows BIOS Flashing
You can use the BIOS Flash Update SoftPaq to restore or upgrade the system BIOS. Several methods for
changing the BIOS rmware stored on your computer are available.
The BIOS executable is a utility designed to ash the System BIOS within a Microsoft Windows environment.
To display the available options for this utility, launch the executable le under the Microsoft Windows
environment.
You can run the BIOS executable with or without the USB storage device. If the system does not have a USB
storage device installed, the BIOS update will perform under the Microsoft Windows environment and
followed by system reboot.
Linux BIOS Flashing for ThinPro/Smart Zero 6.x
All BIOS ashing under ThinPro 6.x and later utilizes tool-less BIOS updates, in which the BIOS updates itself.
32Appendix A Computer Setup (F10) Utility, BIOS Settings
Use the following comments to ash a Linux BIOS:
●
hptc-bios-flash ImageName
Prepares the system to update the BIOS during the next restart. This command automatically copies the
les into the correct location and prompts you to restart the thin client. This command requires that the
tool-less update option in the BIOS settings is set to Auto. You can use hpt-bios-cfg to set the tool-
less update option in the BIOS.
hptc-bios-flash –h
●
Displays a list of options.
Linux BIOS Flashing for ThinPro/Smart Zero 5.2.1
BIOS ashing under ThinPro/Smart Zero 5.2.1 is similar to that in ThinPro/Smart Zero 6.x and later but the
ThinPro OS performs the actual update. Use the following command to ash the BIOS (from a command shell
in administrator mode):
●
hptc-bios-flash ImageName
Where ImageName is the path to the BIOS binary le.
BitLocker Drive Encryption / BIOS Measurements
If you have Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption (BDE) enabled on your system, we recommend that you
temporarily suspend BDE before updating the BIOS. You should also obtain your BDE recovery password or
recovery PIN before suspending BDE. After the you ash the BIOS, you can resume BDE.
To make a change to BDE, select Start > Control Panel > BitLocker Drive Encryption, click Suspend Protection or Resume Protection and then click Yes.
As a general rule, updating the BIOS will modify measurement values stored in the Platform Conguration
Registers (PCRs) of the system's security module. Temporarily disable technologies that use these PCR values
to ascertain platform health (BDE is one such example) prior to ashing the BIOS. Once you update the BIOS,
re-enable the functions and restart the system so that you can take new measurements.
BootBlock Emergency Recovery Mode
In the event of a failed BIOS update (for example if power is lost while updating), the System BIOS may
become corrupted. BootBlock Emergency Recovery Mode detects this condition and automatically searches
the root directory of the hard drive and any USB media sources for a compatible binary image. Copy the binary
(.bin) le in the DOS Flash folder to the root of the desired storage device, and then power on the system.
Once the recovery process locates the binary image, it attempts the recovery process. The automatic recovery
continues until it successfully restores or updates the BIOS. If the system has a BIOS Setup password, you may
need to use the Startup Menu / Utilities submenu to ash the BIOS manually after providing the password.
Sometimes there are restrictions on which BIOS versions are allowed to be installed on a platform. If the BIOS
that was on the system had restrictions, then only allowable BIOS versions may be used for recovery.

Ensure that the following connectors are securely plugged into the thin client unit:
Power connector, keyboard, mouse, network RJ-45 connector, display
testing it. If the power supply does not work on the test unit, replace the power
supply.
2.If the unit does not work properly with the replaced power supply, have the unit
serviced.
1.Verify that the network is operating and the network cable is working properly.
2.Verify that the unit is communicating with the server by having the System
Administrator ping the unit from the server:
—
If the thin client pings back, then the signal was accepted and the unit is
working. This indicates a conguration issue.
—
If the thin client does not ping back and the thin client does not connect to
the server, re-image the unit.
1.Verify that the network is not down.
2.Make sure the RJ-45 cable is good by installing the RJ-45 cable onto a known
working device—if a network signal is detected then the cable is good.
3.Verify the power supply is good by replacing the power cable to the unit with a
known working power supply cable and testing it.
4.If network LEDs still do not light and you know the power supply is good, then
re-image the unit.
5.If network LEDs still do not light, run the IP conguration procedure.
6.If network LEDs still do not light, have the unit serviced.
A newly connected unknown USB peripheral
does not respond or USB peripherals
connected prior to the newly connected USB
peripheral will not complete their device
actions.
Video does not display.1.Verify that the monitor brightness is set to a readable level.
An unknown USB peripheral may be connected and disconnected to a running
platform as long as you do not reboot the system. If problems occur, disconnect the
unknown USB peripheral and reboot the platform.
2.Verify the monitor is good by connecting it to a known working computer and
ensure its front LED turns green (assuming the monitor is Energy Star
compliant). If the monitor is defective, replace it with a working monitor and
repeat testing.
3.Re-image the thin client unit and power on the monitor again.
4.Test the thin client unit on a known working monitor. If the monitor does not
display video, replace the thin client unit.

CUsing HP ThinUpdate to restore the image
HP ThinUpdate allows you to download images and add-ons from HP, capture an HP thin client image, and
create bootable USB ash drives for image deployment.
HP ThinUpdate is preinstalled on some HP thin clients, and it is also available as an add-on at
http://www.hp.com/support (search for the thin client model and see the Drivers & software section of the
support page for that model).
●
The Image Downloads feature lets you download an image from HP to either local storage or a USB ash
drive. The USB ash drive option creates a bootable USB ash drive that can be used to deploy the image
to other thin clients.
●
The Image Capture feature lets you capture an image from an HP thin client and save it to a USB ash
drive, which can be used to deploy the image to other thin clients.
●
The Add-on Downloads feature lets you download add-ons from HP to either local storage or a USB ash
drive.
●
The USB Drive Management feature lets you do the following:
—
Create a bootable USB ash drive from an image le on local storage
—
Copy an .ibr image le from a USB ash drive to local storage
—
Restore a USB ash drive layout
You can use a bootable USB ash drive created with HP ThinUpdate to deploy an HP thin client image to
another HP thin client of the same model with the same operating system.
System requirements
To create a recovery device for the purpose of reashing or restoring the software image on the ash, you will
need the following:
●
One or more HP thin clients.
●
USB ash device in the following size or larger:
—
ThinPro: 8 GB
—
Windows 10 IoT (if using the USB format): 32 GB
NOTE: Optionally, you can use the tool on a Windows computer.
This restore method will not work with all USB ash devices. USB ash devices that do not show up as
removable drive in Windows do not support this restore method. USB ash devices with multiple partitions
generally do not support this restore method. The range of USB ash devices available on the market is
constantly changing. Not all USB ash devices have been tested with the HP Thin Client Imaging Tool.
44Appendix C Using HP ThinUpdate to restore the image
DDevice management

EAdding an Image Restore Tool
1.Ensure that the boot order is set to use the Network as the rst boot device.
2.Ensure that IBR.exe (Image Restore) and Flash.dd are stored in the same directory on the server. (e.g.,
NOTE: Linux uses the le name FLASH.DD while other operating system images use FLASH.IMG
9.Under In which OS would you like to run this script? Click DOS.
10. Click Finish.
11. You can now drag and drop the job onto the appropriate machine(s) or schedule it to run later,
depending on your needs. Refer to the documentation for Altiris Deployment Solution
(http://www.altiris.com/support/documentation) for more detailed information.

FPower cord set requirements
The power supplies on some computers have external power switches. The voltage select switch feature on
the computer permits it to operate from any line voltage between 100-120 or 220-240 volts AC. Power
supplies on those computers that do not have external power switches are equipped with internal switches
that sense the incoming voltage and automatically switch to the proper voltage.
The power cord set received with the computer meets the requirements for use in the country where you
purchased the equipment.
Power cord sets for use in other countries must meet the requirements of the country where you use the
computer.
General requirements
The requirements listed below are applicable to all countries:
1.The power cord must be approved by an acceptable accredited agency responsible for evaluation in the
country where the power cord set will be installed.
2.The power cord set must have a minimum current capacity of 10A (7A Japan only) and a nominal voltage
rating of 125 or 250 volts AC, as required by each country’s power system.
3.The diameter of the wire must be a minimum of 0.75 mm2 or 18AWG, and the length of the cord must be
between 1.8 m (6 feet) and 3.6 m (12 feet).
The power cord should be routed so that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon it or
against it. Particular attention should be paid to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord exits
from the product.

GStatement of Volatility
Thin Client products typically have three types of memory devices namely, RAM, ROM, and Flash memory
devices. Data stored in the RAM memory device will be lost once the power is removed from the device. RAM
devices could be powered by main, aux, or battery power (power states are explained below). Therefore, even
when the unit is not connected to an AC outlet, some of the RAM devices could be powered by battery power.
Data stored in the ROM or Flash memory devices will retain its data even if the power is removed to the
device. Manufacturers of Flash device usually specify a period of time (in the order of ten years) for data
retention.
Denition of power states:
Main Power: Power available when the unit is turned on.
Aux or Standby power: Power available when the unit is in o state when the power supply is connected to
an active AC outlet.
Battery Power: Power from a coin battery present in the Thin Client systems.
The table below lists the available memory devices and their types per the models. Please note that the Thin
Client systems do not use traditional hard drives with moving parts. Instead, they use ash memory devices
with an IDE/ SATA front-end interface. Hence, the operating systems interface with these ash devices similar
to a regular IDE/ SATA hard drive. This IDE/ SATA ash device contains the image of the operating system. The
ash device can only be written by an administrator. A special software tool is required to format the ash
devices and clear the data stored in them.
Please nd below a list of steps that should be taken to update BIOS and use it to set the BIOS settings to
factory default settings.
1.Download the latest BIOS for your model o of the HP website.
