Appendix 
General UEFI requirements 
The BIOS incorporated in the HP business notebooks, desktops, and workstations supporting Windows 8 conforms to the 
following sections of the UEFI 2.3.1 Class 2 specification:  
2.3, 3.1, 4.3, 6.1 ~ 6.5, 7.1~7.5, 8.1, 8.2, 9.1, 9.5, 11.2 ~ 11.4, 11.8, 11.9, 12.4, 12.7, 12.8, 12.9, 18.5, 21.1, 21.3, 21.5, 
27.1~27.8. 
PCR boot measurements for notebook products 
Table A1 lists the PCR boot measurements for notebook products. Section references indicated in Table A1 refer to the UEFI 
2.3.1 Class 2 specification document. 
Table A1..PCR boot measurements for hp business notebook products  
PCR  Expected measurement  Actual measurement 
PCR 0  S-CRTM’s version identifier using the 
event type EV_S_CRTM_VERSION 
All Host Platform firmware using the 
event type EV_POST_CODE 
ACPI data using event type 
EV_UEFI_HANDOFF_TABLES 
S-CRTM’s version identifier using the event type 
EV_S_CRTM_VERSION 
All Host Platform firmware using the event type 
EV_POST_CODE 
PCR 1  Not used   
PCR 2 
Non-manufacturer 
controlled options/UEFI 
drivers 
Not used  Currently measuring FV(??) 
PCR 3  Not used   
PCR 4  If the BIOS is configured or designed to 
not record each device the BIOS 
attempts to boot, an 
EV_OMIT_BOOT_DEVICE_EVENTS 
event MUST be measured once. See 
Section 11.3.1 (Event Types). 
The BIOS MUST record the EV_ACTION 
event “Calling INT 19h” or the 
EV_UEFI_ACTION event “Calling UEFI 
Application from Boot Option.” See 
Section 11.3.3 (EV_ACTION Event 
Types). 
The BIOS MUST record the EV_ACTION event “Calling 
INT 19h” or the EV_UEFI_ACTION event “Calling UEFI 
Application from Boot Option.” See Section 11.3.3 
(EV_ACTION Event Types). 
PCR 5  Not used  Calling UEFI application event, GPT 
PCR 6  Not used (UEFI Secure Boot data in 
spec but MS indicates that they want 
that in PCR 7) 
Secure Boot variables 
PCR 7  Not used
