3.4 ROM Flash

The computer comes with a reprogrammable flash ROM (read only memory). By establishing a
setup password in Computer Setup (F10) Utility, you can protect the ROM from unintentional

computer. Should you need or want to upgrade your ROM, you may:
■
Order an upgraded ROMPaq™ diskette from HP.
■
Download the latest ROMPaq images from
CAUTION: For maximum ROM protection, establish a setup password. The setup password prevents
Ä
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.
