ROM flash

The workstation comes with a programmable flash ROM. 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 workstation. Should you need or
want to upgrade the ROM, you can:
●
Order an upgraded SoftPaq from HP support.
●
Download the latest SoftPaq images from HP driver and support page,
files.
NOTE: For maximum ROM protection, be sure to establish a setup password. The setup password
prevents unauthorized ROM upgrades. System Software Manager enables you to set the setup
password on one or more PCs simultaneously. For more information, visit http://www.hp.com/go/ssm

Remote ROM Flash

Remote ROM Flash allows the system administrator to safely upgrade the ROM on remote HP
workstations directly from the centralized network management console, resulting 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 workstation must be powered on, or turned on through Remote Wakeup, to use Remote ROM Flash.
For more information on Remote ROM Flash, see the HP Client Manager Software or System Software
Manager sections at http://h18000.www1.hp.com/im/prodinfo.html.

HPQFlash

The HPQFlash utility is used to locally update or restore the system ROM on individual PCs through a
Windows operating system.
