Key features of the HP BIOS in the dx7300 include:
Deployment and manageability – HP BIOS provides several technologies that help integrate the HP Business desktop computer
into the enterprise, such as PXE, remote configuration, remote control, and F10 Setup support for 12 languages.

Upgrades and recovery – HP BIOS provides numerous ways to upgrade HP Business Desktop computers, including BIOS updates
from within DOS (ROMPAQ, Flashlite), BIOS updates from within Windows (CPQFlash, SSM), HP Client Manager, and fail-safe

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 dx7300
models use ACPI to provide power conservation features under Windows XP.
