HP dc7100 PCs feature the Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900. Intel software drivers enable all
functionality of the video hardware. Driver support is complemented by a display utility that provides easy access to
video settings through the Windows Control Panel.
Audio
AC97 Audio drivers from Analog Devices are included on the dc7100 enable the sound subsystem to run
multimedia applications using Microsoft DirectSound audio capability.
Modular Keyboard Quick Launch button support
HP includes a software based programmable keyboard utility that is provided with the new HP Modular Keyboard
option kit. All keys are reprogrammable under Windows XP through the Modular Access keyboard software applet
supplied on the IO and Security CD within the kit. This software is a simpler version of the previous Easy Access
Keyboard software and is supported in 6 major languages (English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, and
Japanese)-when available.
DMI Transition
The Desktop Management Task Force (DMTF) introduced the DMI standard almost ten years ago. Due to new
standards adoption such as the Common Information Model (CIM), the DMTF has initiated end-of-life for DMI.
Given other advancements in HP Client Management Solutions, HP Systems Insight Manager, and Microsoft's
implementation of CIM, known as Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), the HP Insight Management
Agent is no longer being provided on new HP commercial desktop, workstation, and notebook models introduced
after January 1, 2004.
Microsoft Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) is standard with Windows 2000 and Windows XP. WMI
provides hardware inventory and alert information directly through the Windows OS to a system management
application.
HP Client Manager Software (HP CMS) developed with Altiris, is a free hardware management solution for HP
commercial desktop, notebook and workstation models. It tracks detailed inventory information, monitors hardware
faults, and can update drivers and BIOS on client PCs. HP CMS can also integrate with HP Systems Insight
Manager to provide consolidated deployment and management of HP clients and servers from a single HP Systems
Insight Manager console.
