ROM Flash
Your HP workstation comes with a programmable flash ROM. By establishing a setup password in the
Computer Setup (F10) Utility, you can protect the ROM from being inadvertently updated or overwritten.
This function is important to ensure the operating integrity of the workstation.
To upgrade the ROM, download the latest SoftPaq images from
http://www.hp.com//support/files.
For maximum ROM protection, establish a setup password. The setup password prevents unauthorized
ROM upgrades. SSM enables you to create the setup password on workstations simultaneously. For
more information, see
http://www.hp.com/go/ssm.
Remote ROM Flash
Remote ROM Flash allows system administrators to safely upgrade the ROM on remote HP
workstations directly from a centralized network management console, resulting in a consistent
deployment of, and greater control over, HP PC ROM images over the network.
To use Remote ROM Flash, the workstation must be powered on, or turned on using Remote Wakeup.
For more information about Remote ROM Flash, see the HP Client Manager Software or System
Software Manager sections at
http://www.hp.com/go/ssm.
HPQFlash
The HPQFlash utility is used to locally update or restore the system ROM on PCs using a Windows
operating system.
For more information about HPQFlash, see
http://www.hp.com/go/ssm, and enter the name of your
workstation.
