the listed desktop and workstation models and operating systems. 

The HP BIOS Configuration for ProtectTools Utility is a plug-in to the HP

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.
