Retired Solutions

Two software packages, Altiris Local Recovery, and Dantz Retrospect, will no longer be shipping on HP
business desktops, notebooks, or workstations. Starting with new business desktops, notebooks, and
workstations released in 2006, all will ship with HP Backup and Recovery Manager.

ROM Flash

The computer's BIOS is stored in a programmable flash ROM (read only memory). By establishing a
setup password in the Computer Setup (F10) Utility, you can protect the ROM from being unintentionally
updated or overwritten. This is important to ensure the operating integrity of the computer. Should you
need or want to upgrade the BIOS, you may download the latest BIOS images from the HP driver and
support page, http:/www.hp.com/support/files.
CAUTION:
prevents unauthorized ROM upgrades. System Software Manager allows the system administrator to
set the setup password on one or more PCs simultaneously. For more information, visit

Remote ROM Flash

Remote ROM Flash allows the system administrator to safely upgrade the BIOS on remote HP
computers directly from the centralized network management console. Enabling the system
administrator to perform this task remotely on multiple computers results in a consistent deployment of,
and greater control over, HP PC BIOS images over the network. It also results in greater productivity
and lower total cost of ownership.
NOTE: The computer must be powered on, or turned on through Remote Wakeup, to take advantage
of Remote ROM Flash.
