This package contains the HP BIOS Configuration for ProtectTools Utility for the listed desktop and workstation models and operating systems. The HP BIOS Configuration for ProtectTools Utility is a plug-in to the HP ProtectTools Security Manager (shell interface). The HP BIOS Configuration for ProtectTools Utility is used to locally set BIOS options (such as boot order, disable serial port, and so forth) using the Microsoft Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) Specification for the Client Management Interface. This SoftPaq includes the HP ProtectTools Security Manager, removing the dependency for downloading the security manager separately. NOTE: For all supported systems except the HP Compaq dc7700 Series PCs, you must insert a valid HP ProtectTools CD in order to install this update.
