Additional HP BIOS Features

Power-On password – Helps prevent an unauthorized user from powering on the system. After a TPM Basic User password is
established in windows, the user or admin can require TPM hardware based authentication during the power-on process.
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 Compaq
dc7900 models use ACPI to provide power conservation features.
