BIOS Prerequisite
This white paper is for use with HP Compaq dc7700p Business PCs. For best performance and to take
advantage of AMT 2.1 features, insure the PCs have a BIOS revision of at least version 2.09 and a ME
firmware of at least 2.1.0.1031.
You must update the system BIOS and the ME firmware individually. Updating the ME firmware will clear
AMT settings and the system will have to be set up and configured again.
For information about upgrading an HP dc7700p Business PC from AMT 2.0 to AMT 2.1, see the HP
Compaq Business PC with vPro Technology AMT 2.1 Firmware Update white paper, which includes
detailed instructions about how to update the system BIOS and ME firmware. This white paper is avail-
able at www.hp.com.
