Management Processor Commands
MP Command: MFG
260
MP Command: MFG
MFG- Enter Manufacturing Mode
• Access level—Administrator
• Scope—Complex
NOTE This command is reserved for HP manufacturing and is available for internal use only. Its use 
is protected by an authentication mechanism based on the algorithm currently used by 
workstation manufacturing. 
The MP generates a lock word, and the user must supply an authentication key which is dependent on this 
lock word. A fixed timeout of one minute protects against inadvertent entry of this command. If the timeout 
pops or the wrong authentication key has been entered, the command has no effect.
If the correct authentication key is entered, the manufacturing mode is entered. This gives access to an 
additional set of MP commands. The command must again be invoked to exit manufacturing mode. If the 
manufacturing mode is not exited, it is available to the next person that accesses the command menu.
These commands show up in the HE command output when in manufacturing mode only.
