System Software Manager
System Software Manager (SSM) is a utility available on Windows—based computers that enables
you to update system-level software on multiple systems simultaneously. When executed on a PC
client system, SSM detects hardware and software versions and then updates the software from a
central repository, known as a
icon on the software, the driver download website, and on the Support Software CD.
To download the utility or to obtain more information about SSM, see http://www.hp.com/go/ssm.

BIOS settings are stored on a programmable flash ROM. By establishing a setup password in

To upgrade the BIOS, download the latest SoftPaq images from
