Intel® Xeon E3, Intel Core i3 and Intel Pentium processors can support either ECC or non-ECC memory;
Intel® Core i5/i7 processors only support non-ECC memory.

Intel's numbering is not a measurement of higher performance. Processor numbers differentiate
features within each processor family, not across different processor families. See:

http://www.intel.com/products/processor_number/ for details.

64-bit computing on Intel® 64 architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS,
operating system, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel 64 architecture. Processor will not
operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. Performance will
vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. See: http://www.intel.com/info/em64t
for more information.

Dual-Core and Quad-Core technologies are designed to improve performance of multithreaded software
products and hardware-aware multitasking operating systems and may require appropriate operating
system software for full benefits; check with software provider to determine suitability; Not all
customers or software applications will necessarily benefit from use of these technologies.

provides excellent functionality and performance. It is a good alternative to hardware-based RAID. All

protected materials. Intended for creation and storage of your original material and other lawful uses.
Double Layer discs can store more data than single layer discs. However, double-layer discs burned with
this drive may not be compatible with many existing single-layer DVD drives and players.

As Blu-ray is a new format containing new technologies, certain disc, digital connection, compatibility
and/or performance issues may arise, and do not constitute defects in the product. Flawless playback on all
systems is not guaranteed. In order for some Blu-ray titles to play, they may require a DVI or HDMI digital
connection and your display may require HDCP support. HD-DVD movies cannot be played on this

Boot Control

Disables the ability to boot from removable media on supported devices.

Memory Change Alert

Alerts management console if memory is removed or changed.

Thermal Alert

Monitors the temperature state within the chassis. Three modes:

 NORMAL - normal temperature ranges.
 ALERTED - excessive temperatures are detected. Raises a flag so action can be taken to avoid

shutdown or provide for a smoother system shutdown.

 SHUTDOWN - excessive temperatures are encountered. Automatically shuts down the

computer without warning before hardware component damage occurs.

Remote ROM Flash

Provides secure, fail-safe ROM image management from a central network console.
Updates can be performed before starting the OS.
Updates can be periodically scheduled.

ACPI (Advanced
Configuration and Power
Management Interface)

Allows the system to enter and resume from low power modes (sleep states).
Enables an operating system to control system power consumption based on the dynamic workload.
Makes it possible to place individual cards and peripherals in a low-power or powered-off state without
affecting other elements of the system.
Supports ACPI 4.0 for full compatibility with 64-bit operating systems.

Ownership Tag

A user-defined string stored in non-volatile memory that is displayed in the BIOS splash screen.

Remote Wakeup/Remote
Shutdown

System administrators can power on, restart, and power off a client computer from a remote location.

ASF 2.0 Compliant

No.

Instantly Available PC
(Suspend to RAM - ACPI
sleep state S3)

Allows for very low power consumption with quick resume time.

Remote System
Installation via F12 (PXE

2.1) (Remote Boot from
Server)

Allows a new or existing system to boot over the network and download software, including the
operating system.

ROM revision levels

Reports the system BIOS revision level in Computer Configuration Utility (F10 Setup). Version is
available through an industry standard interface (SMBIOS) so that management SW applications can
use and report this information.

System board revision
level

Allows management SW to read revision level of the system board.
Revision level is digitally encoded into the HW and cannot be modified.

Start-up Diagnostics
(Power-on Self-Test)

Assesses system health at boot time with selectable levels of testing.

Auto Setup when new
hardware installed

System automatically detects addition of new hardware.

Keyboard-less Operation

The system can be booted without a keyboard.

Localized ROM Setup

Common BIOS image supports System Configuration Utility (F10 Setup) menus in 12 languages with
local keyboard mappings.

Asset Tag

Enables the user or IT administrator to set a unique tag string in non-volatile memory.

Per-slot Control

Allows I/O slot parameters (option ROM enable/disable) to be configured individually.

Adaptive Cooling

Control parameters are set according to detected hardware configuration for optimal acoustics.

Pre-boot Diagnostics

(Pre-video) critical errors are reported via beeps and blinks on the power LED.

Intel® Active
Management Technology

(AMT)

AMT 9.0; Allows workstation status to be monitored on a remote console

Digitally and
Cryptographically Signed

Helps to prevent the installation of unauthorized versions of a BIOS (a rogue BIOS) from a virus,
malware, or other code that could lead to compromised system security, data access, physical service,

Master Boot Record
Protection

A feature in the HP BIOS that prevents changes and/or infections to the Master Boot Record. Useful in
protecting from viruses

Boot Block Emergency
Recovery Mode (BIOS

Recovery)

The HP BIOS offers a write-protected boot block ROM that provides recovery from a failed flashing of
the computer BIOS. This special recovery mode prevents the system from becoming unusable or
"bricked" when a BIOS update is interrupted.
