For best performance and to take advantage of AMT 2.2 features, make sure HP Compaq dc7700p Busi-
ness PCs have a BIOS revision of at least version 3.03, an ME firmware of at least version 2.2.1.1034, and
a MEBx of at least version 2.1.4.000.
Updating an HP Compaq dc7700p system from AMT 2.0 or 2.1 to AMT 2.2 by flashing the BIOS will
install five Verisign certificates so the system can be used in Remote Configuration.
Using Remote Configuration on an HP Compaq dc7700p system that has been updated to AMT 2.2
requires updating the MEI (HECI.SYS) driver to version 2.1.22.1026 or better.
See the Remote Configuration Section for more information on this provisioning method and the types of
certificates used.
The system BIOS and the ME firmware must be updated individually. Refer to the BIOS Flash white paper
at www.hp.com for more information about flashing the system BIOS and ME firmware.
SMB Mode - AMT Setup and Configuration Steps
When going through the options in the MEBx for the first time (Factory phase), the default settings are in
place. This white paper details HP-recommended settings for options, some of which may be the same as
the default selection. Even though the default setting is set and used for certain options, it is good practice
to double-check important options.
1. Press Ctrl+P during POST to enter Manageability Engine BIOS Extension (MEBx) Setup. You can dis-
play this option only during POST if set in F10-Setup.

2. Type the default password, which is admin. Passwords are case-sensitive.
NOTE: You must change the default password before making changes to the MEBx options.
3. Change the MEBx password. The new password must meet the Strong Password criteria defined in
the Password Guidelines Section. Type the password twice for verification.
