Remote Admin
The Remote Admin feature allows remote access the product Pre-boot menu (BIOS environment). The
product functions as a telnet server which uses the telnet networking protocol to transmit text data. Any
computer (with telnet installed and enabled) can function as the telnet client to remotely display and interact
with the Pre-boot menu.
IMPORTANT: While the Remote Admin function allows remote access the Pre-boot menu, for security
reasons the Remote Admin connection must be initiated by a person that is physically present at the product.
This section describes the following Remote Admin items.

Required software and network connection
Before using the Remote Admin feature, make sure that the telnet network protocol is installed, and
enabled, on the remote telnet client computer.
NOTE: This section describes enabling and configuring the telnet feature for computers using a Windows®
operating system.
HP recommends that the telnet client computer be a Windows based system, however, there are other
operating systems that support the telnet network protocol. For information about enabling and configuring
the telnet network protocol for other operating systems, see the owner's manual for that operating system.
