Use the following utilities to manage security settings on the HP computer:
●
Locally, using the Computer Setup Utilities. See the Computer Setup (F10) Utility Guide on the
Documentation and Diagnostics CD included with the computer for additional information and
instructions on using the Computer Setup Utilities. Some computers also have HP BIOS
Configuration for ProtectTools, which is a Windows-based component of ProtectTools that allows
administrators to configure BIOS security settings from within the running OS.
●
Remotely, using HP Client Manager Software or System Software Manager. This software enables
the secure, consistent deployment and control of security settings from a simple command-line
utility.
The following table and sections refer to managing security features of the computer locally through the
Computer Setup (F10) Utilities.
