Setup Utility
Basic system information is in the Setup Utility held in the system ROM, accessed by pressing
F10
when prompted (on screen) during the boot sequence.
Recovering the Configuration Settings
To reset all BIOS Setup options to their default values (including options for
Ctrl
+
F10
), you
must enter F10 Setup mode and press
F5
.
This does not include updates to system date, system time, supervisor password, user password,
and CPU frequency multiplier.
Password Security
This computer supports security password features, which can be established through the
Computer Setup Utilities menu.
This computer supports two security password features that are established through the
Computer Setup Utilities menu: setup password and power-on password. When you establish
only a setup password, any user can access all the information on the computer except Computer
Setup. When you establish only a power-on password, the power-on password is required to
access Computer Setup and any other information on the computer. When you establish both
passwords, only the setup password will give you access to Computer Setup.
When both passwords are set, the setup password can also be used in place of the power-on
password as an override to log in to the computer. This is a useful feature for a network
administrator.
If you forget the password for the computer, you can clear that password so you can gain access
to the information on the computer by resetting the password jumper.
Resetting the password jumper
1. Shut down the computer. With the power cord disconnected, press the power button again to
drain the system of any residual power.
2. Remove the access panel.
3. Locate the header and jumper labeled JPD1.
4. Remove the jumper from pins 1 and 2. Place the jumper on pins 2 and 3.
5. Replace the access panel.
6. Plug in and turn on power. Allow the operating system to start. This clears the current
passwords and disables the password features.
7. To establish new passwords, repeat steps 1 - 4, replace the password jumper on pins 1 and 2,
then repeat steps 5 - 6. Establish new passwords in Computer Setup.
Resetting the CMOS jumper
The CMOS button resets CMOS but does not clear the power-on and setup passwords.
1. Turn off the computer and any external devices, and disconnect power.
2. Remove the access panel.
3. Locate the header and jumper labeled JBAT1.
4. Remove the CMOS jumper from pins 1 and 2 and put the jumper on pins 2 and 3. This clears
the CMOS.
5. Put the jumper back on pins 1 and 2.
6. Replace the access panel, external devices, and reconnect the power cord.
7. Turn on the computer.
Use Computer Setup to reset any special system setups along with the date and time.
HP Vision Diagnostics
The Hewlett-Packard Vision Diagnostics utility allows you to view information about the hard-
ware configuration of the computer and perform hardware diagnostic tests on the subsystems of
the computer. The utility simplifies the process of effectively identifying, diagnosing, and iso-
lating hardware issues.
The Survey tab is displayed when you invoke HP Vision Diagnostics. This tab shows the current
configuration of the computer. From the Survey tab, there is access to several categories of
information about the computer. Other tabs provide additional information, including diagnostic
test options and test results. The information in each screen of the utility can be saved as an html
file and stored on a USB flash drive.
Use HP Vision Diagnostics to determine if all the devices installed on the computer are recog-
nized by the system and functioning properly. Running tests is optional but recommended after
installing or connecting a new device.
Vision Diagnostics may be found on the CD that shipped with some computer models. The tool
may also be downloaded from the HP Web site using the following procedure:
1. Go to www.hp.com
