ROM Flash Your HP 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 inadvertently updated or overwritten. This function is important to ensure the operating integrity of the workstation. To upgrade the ROM, download the latest SoftPaq images from 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 create the setup password on one or more workstations simultaneously. For more information, see http://www.hp.com/ go/ssm. Remote ROM Flash Remote ROM Flash allows system administrators to safely upgrade the ROM on remote HP workstations directly from a centralized network management console, resulting in a consistent deployment of, and greater control over, HP PC ROM images over the network. To use Remote ROM Flash, the workstation must be powered on, or turned on using Remote Wakeup. For more information about Remote ROM Flash, see the HP Client Manager Software or System Software Manager sections at http://www.hp.com/go/ssm. 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 about HPQFlash, see http://www.hp.com/go/ssm, and enter the name of your workstation. ENWW Workstation management 39

ROM Flash
Your HP 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 inadvertently updated or overwritten.
This function is important to ensure the operating integrity of the workstation. To upgrade the ROM,
download the latest SoftPaq images from
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 create the setup
password on one or more workstations simultaneously. For more information, see
go/ssm
.
Remote ROM Flash
Remote ROM Flash allows system administrators to safely upgrade the ROM on remote HP
workstations directly from a centralized network management console, resulting in a consistent
deployment of, and greater control over, HP PC ROM images over the network.
To use Remote ROM Flash, the workstation must be powered on, or turned on using Remote Wakeup.
For more information about Remote ROM Flash, see the HP Client Manager Software or System
Software Manager sections at
go/ssm
.
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 about HPQFlash, see
go/ssm
, and enter the name of your
workstation.
