In order to remotely manage AMT systems, the administrator must use a remote console that supports
AMT. Enterprise management consoles are available from suppliers such as HP OpenView (not
currently available for Windows Vista), Altiris and Microsoft SMS. In SMB mode, the client provides a
Web browser interface. To access this feature, open a browser from any other system on the network

Alternatively, the IP address may be used in place of the host name.

Two software packages, Altiris Local Recovery, and Dantz Retrospect, will no longer be shipping on HP
business desktops, notebooks, or workstations. Starting with new business desktops, notebooks, and
workstations released in 2006, all will ship with HP Backup and Recovery Manager.

ROM Flash

The computer's BIOS is stored in a programmable flash ROM (read only memory). By establishing a
setup password in the Computer Setup (F10) Utility, you can protect the ROM from being unintentionally
updated or overwritten. This is important to ensure the operating integrity of the computer. Should you
need or want to upgrade the BIOS, you may download the latest BIOS images from the HP driver and
support page,
