HP EliteBook 735 PC Commercial BIOS UEFI Setup - Page 8

HP PC Commercial BIOS (UEFI) Setup 2 Introduction July 2020 919946-004 This whitepaper provides detailed information about features adjusted through the BIOS setup menu, which is accessible during system boot-up by using the 'F10' function key. In addition, the sections on computer notifications provides an explanation for the LED blink codes and screen messages that may occur during the early part of boot-up. For decades, HP has provided an industry-leading level of built-in customer value through internally developed system firmware (BIOS). Current BIOS designs use common, publicly available UEFI core functions as a starting point, extended with unique HP features and adapted for each system's unique hardware, operating system, and software requirements. The BIOS also exposes and provides the interfaces required to use unique firmware and hardware-based HP professional innovations such as HP Sure Start, HP Sure Run, HP Sure Admin, HP Sure Recover, and HP Client Security Manager. This document has been updated to reflect new and updated features in the 'S' family of BIOS, introduced in 2020. An S family BIOS is a version that begins with the letter S. For example, S71 Ver. 01.01.00 . Previous generations of commercial PCs had BIOS family designations of R (2019), Q (2017-2018), P (2016), and N (2015) which are also covered by this whitepaper. Some of the features in the later platforms are not supported in earlier models, and some older settings may be deprecated in newer models. Many of the features and settings are dependent on specific hardware or design elements that are not present on every model. Therefore this document describes the superset of BIOS settings across the portfolio of products listed, and not all current generation products support all of the BIOS features described here. 2.1 Supported models - 2020 (UEFI only) The first set of chapters below - Chapters 3 through 5 - apply to the most recent HP commercial-grade PC products released in 2020.

The models covered in this first section only support UEFI based operating systems. There is no support for legacy DOS, Windows, or Linux configurations in the products listed below: Table 1 Notebook Generations (UEFI only) Platforms UEFI Specification supported: HP ZBook Firefly 14, 15 HP ZBook Fury 15, 17 HP ZBook Create HP ZBook Studio HP ZBook Power HP EliteBook 850 HP EliteBook 840 HP EliteBook 830 HP EliteBook 855 HP EliteBook 845 HP EliteBook 835 2020 (most are 'S' Family) 2.7 G7 G7 G7 G7 G7 G7 G7 G7 G7 G7 G7 © Copyright 2016-2020 HP Development Company, L.P. 2 Introduction 8
