Page 24: Selecting A Language
After you have selected a language during the initial boot of the operating system, the language is locked on the hard drive. If the system is restored using HP Backup and Recovery, only the previously selected language can be installed. If using RestorePlus! DVDs, the RestorePlus! DVD looks for the language stored on the hard drive and restores only the original preinstalled language.
Page 25: Creating System Recovery Dvds Or Cds
HP Recovery Partition is removed, the recovery partition is deleted, the user partition is extended to reclaim the unused hard drive space, and the F11 boot prompt is removed. The HP Backup and Recovery Manager application remains and can be used for data backup and restore.
Page 26: Ordering Backup Software
Ordering backup software If you are unable to create system recovery CDs or DVDs, you can order a recovery disk set from the HP support center. Before calling HP to order the software, have your workstation serial number available. To obtain the support center telephone number for your region: Go to http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/wwcontact_us.html.

Page 53: Clearing Passwords
It is only available when hard drives that support the ATA security command set are detected. On HP workstations, it is not available when the SATA emulation mode is RAID+AHCI or RAID. DriveLock is intended for HP customers for whom data security is a paramount concern. For such customers, the cost of a hard drive and the loss of the data stored on it is inconsequential when compared to the damage that could result from unauthorized access to its contents.
Page 54 DriveLock. Since the initial configuration of DriveLock is typically performed by a system administrator, a master password should be set first. HP encourages system administrators to set a master password whether they plan to enable DriveLock or not. This gives the administrator the ability to modify DriveLock settings if the drive is locked in the future.
Page 55: Hood Sensor (Smart Cover Sensor) (Optional)
In a single drive workstation, if the drive has DriveLock enabled, the workstation might not be able to boot to the operating system, and might try to boot from the network or from another storage device instead (depending on the boot ordering options). Regardless of the outcome of the boot attempts, the drive-locked drive remains inaccessible without the DriveLock password.
Page 56: Locking The Hood Lock
Forgotten password CAUTION: The side access panel FailSafe key is a specialized tool available from HP. Be sure to order the key from HP in advance so it is available when you need it. To obtain the FailSafe Key, contact HP post sales support by telephone at: 1-800–hp-invent, or by visiting http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/wwcontact_us.html.
Page 57: Security Lock (Padlock Loop) (Optional)
If the workstation is connected to a network that is managed by HP Client Manager Software, the computer sends a fault notice to the network management application. With HP Client Manager Software, you can also remotely schedule diagnostics to automatically run on all managed PCs and create a summary report of failed tests.
