Setup procedures CAUTION: To reduce security risk, it is highly recommended that your IT administrator immediately initialize the embedded security chip. Failure to initialize the embedded security chip could result in an unauthorized user, a computer worm, or a virus taking ownership of the computer and gaining control over the owner tasks, such as handling the emergency recovery archive, and configuring user access settings. Follow the steps in the following 2 sections to enable and initialize the embedded security chip. Enabling the embedded security chip The embedded security chip must be enabled in the Computer Setup utility. This procedure cannot be performed in BIOS Configuration for HP ProtectTools. To enable the embedded security chip: 1. Access Computer Setup by turning on or restarting the computer, and then pressing F10 while the "F10 = ROM Based Setup" message is displayed in the lower-left corner of the screen. 2. If you have not set an administrator password, use the arrow keys to select Security > Setup password, and then press enter. 3. Type your password in the New password and Verify new password boxes, and then press F10. 4. In the Security menu, use the arrow keys to select TPM Embedded Security, and then press enter. 5. Under Embedded Security, if the device is hidden, select Available. 6. Select Embedded security device state and change to Enable. 7. Press F10 to accept the changes to the Embedded Security configuration. 8. To save your preferences and exit Computer Setup, use the arrow keys to select File > Save Changes and Exit. Then follow the on-screen instructions. Initializing the embedded security chip In the initialization process for Embedded Security, you will perform the following tasks: ● Set an owner password for the embedded security chip that protects access to all owner functions on the embedded security chip. ● Set up the emergency recovery archive, which is a protected storage area that allows reencryption of the Basic User Keys for all users. To initialize the embedded security chip: 1. Right-click the HP ProtectTools Security Manager icon in the notification area, at the far right of the taskbar, and then select Embedded Security Initialization. The HP ProtectTools Embedded Security Initialization Wizard opens. 2. Follow the on-screen instructions. Setup procedures 25
