vPro Setup and Configuration for the 8100 Elite Business PC with Intel vPro Processor Technology

Important Note:

The MEBx is an option ROM module that is provided to

HP by Intel to be included in the HP system BIOS. The

MEBx is not HP-specific and contains options that are not

used by HP. If an option is not used by HP, ignore it and

do not modify from its default state.

MEBx passwords must meet the minimum criteria to be accepted. These restrictions

are enforced by the MEBx to reduce vulnerability of passwords to a dictionary

attack.
