For select HP devices with the Windows operating system, the Always On Remote Management (AORM) feature is automatically activated when HP Touchpoint Manager software is installed. AORM can perform a secure BIOS level lock and can also securely erase internal drives (except for encrypted self-encrypting drives). The HP Touchpoint Manager website (http://www.hptouchpointmanager.com) provides access to the AORM lock feature. The device must be unlocked using an authorized PIN from the same website before you can access HP Computer Setup and start the Windows operating system. IMPORTANT: A service agent cannot retrieve the PIN from the HP Touchpoint Manager website. If a locked device is returned for service, the agent must contact the customer to obtain the PIN to unlock the device. If a PIN is not available, the entire system board must be replaced. Before returning the device for service, be sure to unlock the device using the PIN from the HP Touchpoint Manager website (http://www.hptouchpointmanager.com), and also disable the AORM feature in HP Computer Setup. To disable AORM: 1. Access HP Computer Setup (F10). a. Turn on or restart the computer, and then press esc while the "Press the ESC key for Startup Menu" message is displayed at the bottom of the screen. b. Press f10 to enter Computer Setup. NOTE: If the BIOS is protected with an Administrator password, enter the password. 2. Select Advanced and then select HP Touchpoint Manager Options. 3. Clear the Allow Activation check box. 4.
