Subscriber's Choice Driver and Support Alerts/Notifications will deliver emails notifying you that the information you subscribed to in your profile is available for review and retrieval. To learn more about Subscriber's Choice and create a custom profile, see http://www.hp.com/go/pcn. 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, http://www.hp.com/support/ 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. For more information on HPQFlash, see http://www.hp.com/support/files and enter the name of the workstation when prompted. 36 Chapter 3 System management ENWW
