Executive summary
For decades, HP has provided unique customer value through an internally developed Read Only Memory Basic
Input/Output System (ROM BIOS), a set of routines that enable a PC to load the operating system and communicate with
various devices such as storage drives, keyboard, display, slots, and ports. The BIOS ensures that there is a high degree of
integration between firmware and HP professional innovations such as HP ProtectTools, HP Power Assistant, and HP Client
Management Solutions.
HP F10 Setup, the BIOS configuration user interface provided with HP PCs, provides easy access to an impressive set of
features.
