Proper ventilation for the system is important for workstation operation. To be sure that ventilation is adequate, do the following:
●Operate the workstation on a sturdy, level surface.
●Provide at least 12 cm (4.7 in) clearance at the front, back, top, and bottom of the workstation.
●Con rm that the ambient air temperature surrounding the workstation falls within the speci ed limits (see Environmental speci cations on page 9).
●Never restrict the incoming or outgoing airflow of the workstation by blocking any vents or air intakes.

10 Chapter 2 System management
This computer supports HTT, an Intel-proprietary technology that improves processor performance through parallelization of computations (doing multiple tasks at once).
The operating system treats an HTT-enabled processor as two virtual processors and shares the workload between them when possible. This feature requires that the operating system support multiple processors and be speci cally optimized for HTT.
Use the Computer Setup (F10) Utility to enable HTT.
Go to http://www.hp.com/go/quickspecs to determine if your CPU supports HTT.
SATA Power Management enables or disables SATA bus and/or device power management.
The HP Z Workstation series supports Intel® Turbo Boost Technology.
This feature enables the CPU to run at frequencies above the normal frequency. When all CPU cores are not necessary for the workload, inactive cores are turned o and power is diverted to the active cores to increase their performance.
Turbo Boost is enabled and disabled with the Computer Setup (F10) Utility.
Go to http://www.hp.com/go/quickspecs to determine if your CPU supports Turbo Boost.
The BIOS ROM is a collection of machine language applications stored as rmware in ROM. It includes functions such as Power-On Self-Test (POST), PCI device initialization, Plug and Play support, power management, and Computer Setup (F10) Utility.
Go to http://www.hp.com/go/quickspecs to review the latest BIOS ROM speci cations.
Use Computer Setup (F10) Utility to do the following:
●Change settings from the defaults or restore the settings to default values.
●View the system con guration, 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.
●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 identi cation 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 an administrator password that controls access to the Computer Setup (F10) Utility and the settings described in this section.
●Establish minimum requirements for valid passwords, including length and required types of characters.
BIOS ROM 11
●Secure integrated I/O functionality, including the serial, USB, or audio, or embedded NIC, so that they cannot be used until they are unsecured.
●Enable or disable di erent types of boot sources.
●Con gure features such as Secure Boot, power management, virtualization support, and language and keyboard type used in Setup and POST.
●Replicate the system setup by saving system con guration information on a USB device and restoring it on one or more computers.
●Enable or disable DriveLock security or securely erase a hard drive (when supported by drive).
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.
2.Repeatedly press F10 when the monitor light turns on to access the utility.
You can also press Esc to a menu that allows you to access di erent options available at startup, including the Computer Setup utility.
NOTE: If you do not press F10 at the appropriate time, you must restart the computer and again repeatedly press F10 when the monitor light turns green to access the utility.
3.A choice of four headings appears in the Computer Setup Utilities menu: Main, Security, Advanced, and UEFI Drivers.
NOTE: Selecting UEFI Drivers restarts the computer into the 3rd party option ROM management application. You can access this application directly by pressing F3 during startup.
4.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.
5.To apply and save changes, select Main > Save Changes and Exit.
●If you have made changes that you do not want applied, select Ignore Changes and Exit.
●To restore settings from the Advanced and Main menus to original values, select Apply Factory Defaults and Exit.
●To restore settings from the Advanced and Main menus to those previously saved by Save Custom Defaults, select Apply Custom Defaults and Exit. If no custom defaults have been saved, then factory defaults are used.
NOTE: Settings in the Security menu are not modi ed by Apply Defaults. Those values are reset by
Restore Security Settings to Factory Defaults at the bottom of the Security menu.
NOTE: Not all settings shown in the following sections are available for all models
CAUTION: Do NOT turn the computer power OFF while the BIOS is saving the Computer Setup (F10) changes because the settings could become corrupted. It is safe to turn o the computer only after exiting the F10 Setup screen.
