Programming steps
This is the process for the HP Common Core BIOS.
WARNING! Completing the DMI programming process allows you to lock the system at the conclusion
preventing further programming. A system-specic MPM unlock key is required to reprogram the system
after it has been locked.
1. Start the computer. The computer should be in MPM mode and ready for DMI Programming.
NOTE: If the computer is not in MPM mode, you will be unable to program it and you must obtain a
SMC.BIN le to unlock the system.
2. When you boot the system, the BIOS might be in ‘Panic Mode’, which shows what DMI information is
missing. From here you can continue to boot the system to the operating system or enter BIOS to
program the required elds.
NOTE: If the system supports Panic Mode, this screen displays until all the elds are populated.
3. Set the System Clock in Windows or a bootable EFI shell.
