While local alerting is currently not supported with HP Client
Management Solutions, health alerts are reported to a system
management console. Microsoft WMI is standard with Windows XP.
WMI provides hardware inventory and alert information directly
through the Windows OS to a system management application.
The computer comes with 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
ROM, you may:
■
Order an upgraded ROMPaq diskette from HP.
■
Download the latest ROMPaq images from HP driver and support
http://www.hp.com/support/files
page,
CAUTION: For maximum ROM protection, be sure to establish a setup
password. The setup password 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 allows the system administrator to safely
upgrade the ROM on remote HP computers directly from the
centralized network management console. Enabling the system
administrator to perform this task remotely, on multiple computers
and personal computers, results in a consistent deployment of and
greater control over HP PC ROM images over the network. It also
results in greater productivity and lower total cost of ownership.
The computer must be powered on, or turned on through Remote
Wakeup, to take advantage of Remote ROM Flash.
