4 Removal and replacement procedures  
preliminary requirements  
Tools required  
You will need the following tools to complete the removal and replacement procedures:  
Flat-bladed screw driver  
Torx T8 screw driver  
Phillips P0 and P1 screw drivers  
Non-marking pry tool  
Service considerations  
The following sections include some of the considerations that you must keep in mind during disassembly  
and assembly procedures.  
NOTE: As you remove each subassembly from the computer, place the subassembly (and all accompanying  
screws) away from the work area to prevent damage.  
Plastic parts  
CAUTION: Using excessive force during disassembly and reassembly can damage plastic parts. Use care  
when handling the plastic parts. Apply pressure only at the points designated in the  
maintenance instructions.  
Cables and connectors  
CAUTION: When servicing the computer, be sure that cables are placed in their proper locations during the  
reassembly process. Improper cable placement can damage the computer.  
Cables must be handled with extreme care to avoid damage. Apply only the tension required to unseat or seat  
the cables during removal and insertion. Handle cables by the connector whenever possible. In all cases, avoid  
bending, twisting, or tearing cables. Be sure that cables are routed in such a way that they cannot be caught  
or snagged by parts being removed or replaced. Handle flex cables with extreme care; these cables  
tear easily.  
Tools required 23  
             
Drive handling  
CAUTION: Drives are fragile components that must be handled with care. To prevent damage to the  
computer, damage to a drive, or loss of information, observe these precautions:  
Before removing or inserting a hard drive, shut down the computer. If you are unsure whether the computer is  
off or in Hibernation, turn the computer on, and then shut it down through the operating system.  
Before handling a drive, be sure that you are discharged of static electricity. While handling a drive, avoid  
touching the connector.  
Before removing a diskette drive or optical drive, be sure that a diskette or disc is not in the drive and be sure  
that the optical drive tray is closed.  
Handle drives on surfaces covered with at least one inch of shock-proof foam.  
Avoid dropping drives from any height onto any surface.  
After removing a hard drive, an optical drive, or a diskette drive, place it in a static-proof bag.  
Avoid exposing an internal hard drive to products that have magnetic fields, such as monitors or speakers.  
Avoid exposing a drive to temperature extremes or liquids.  
If a drive must be mailed, place the drive in a bubble pack mailer or other suitable form of protective  
packaging and label the package “FRAGILE.”  
Grounding guidelines  
Electrostatic discharge damage  
Electronic components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Circuitry design and structure determine  
the degree of sensitivity. Networks built into many integrated circuits provide some protection, but in many  
cases, ESD contains enough power to alter device parameters or melt silicon junctions.  
A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor can destroy static-sensitive devices or  
microcircuitry. Even if the spark is neither felt nor heard, damage may have occurred.  
An electronic device exposed to ESD may not be affected at all and can work perfectly throughout a normal  
cycle. Or the device may function normally for a while, then degrade in the internal layers, reducing its  
life expectancy.  
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the computer when you are removing or installing internal components,  
observe these precautions:  
Keep components in their electrostatic-safe containers until you are ready to install them.  
Before touching an electronic component, discharge static electricity by using the guidelines described in this  
section.  
Avoid touching pins, leads, and circuitry. Handle electronic components as little as possible.  
If you remove a component, place it in an electrostatic-safe container.  
The following table shows how humidity affects the electrostatic voltage levels generated by  
different activities.  
CAUTION: A product can be degraded by as little as 700 V.

Packaging and transporting guidelines  
Follow these grounding guidelines when packaging and transporting equipment:  
To avoid hand contact, transport products in static-safe tubes, bags, or boxes.  
Protect ESD-sensitive parts and assemblies with conductive or approved containers or packaging.  
Keep ESD-sensitive parts in their containers until the parts arrive at static-free workstations.  
Place items on a grounded surface before removing items from their containers.  
Always be properly grounded when touching a component or assembly.  
Store reusable ESD-sensitive parts from assemblies in protective packaging or nonconductive foam.  
Use transporters and conveyors made of antistatic belts and roller bushings. Be sure that mechanized  
equipment used for moving materials is wired to ground and that proper materials are selected to avoid  
static charging. When grounding is not possible, use an ionizer to dissipate electric charges.  
Workstation guidelines  
Follow these grounding workstation guidelines:  
Cover the workstation with approved static-shielding material.  
Use a wrist strap connected to a properly grounded work surface and use properly grounded tools and  
equipment.  
Use conductive field service tools, such as cutters, screw drivers, and vacuums.  
When fixtures must directly contact dissipative surfaces, use fixtures made only of static-safe materials.  
Keep the work area free of nonconductive materials, such as ordinary plastic assembly aids  
and Styrofoam.  
Handle ESD-sensitive components, parts, and assemblies by the case or PCM laminate. Handle these  
items only at static-free workstations.  
Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.  
Turn off power and input signals before inserting or removing connectors or test equipment.  
Grounding guidelines 25  
     
Equipment guidelines  
Grounding equipment must include either a wrist strap or a foot strap at a grounded workstation.  
When seated, wear a wrist strap connected to a grounded system. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a  
minimum of one megohm ±10% resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear a strap  
snugly against the skin at all times. On grounded mats with banana-plug connectors, use alligator clips  
to connect a wrist strap.  
When standing, use foot straps and a grounded floor mat. Foot straps (heel, toe, or boot straps) can be  
used at standing workstations and are compatible with most types of shoes or boots. On conductive  
floors or dissipative floor mats, use foot straps on both feet with a minimum of one megohm resistance  
between the operator and ground. To be effective, the conductive must be worn in contact with the skin.  
The following grounding equipment is recommended to prevent electrostatic damage:  
Antistatic tape  
Antistatic smocks, aprons, and sleeve protectors  
Conductive bins and other assembly or soldering aids  
Nonconductive foam  
Conductive tabletop workstations with ground cords of one megohm resistance  
Static-dissipative tables or floor mats with hard ties to the ground  
Field service kits  
Static awareness labels  
Material-handling packages  
Nonconductive plastic bags, tubes, or boxes  
Metal tote boxes

Updating DMI  
After replacing a system board in an HP EliteBook product, you must configure and customize the  
replacement system board with notebook-specific information, such as the serial number, product name, and  
number. The information is programmed to the Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory  
(EEPROM) of the system board. The DMI update process usually involves the following procedures:  
1. BIOS update—This involves updating the BIOS to the latest version or a specific version requested by the  
customer.  
2. DMI update—This involves updating the system board's DMI information to match the removed system  
board to support the installed hardware and software.  
3. Verification—Confirm that the system is not in MPM mode. Customers should receive locked systems  
only.  
Access the update menu  
In the past, commercial notebooks required a special utility called WNDMIFIT (or DMIFIT) to update DMI  
information after a system board replacement. With the HP Common Core BIOS, those tools are no longer  
required.  
When the notebook is in MPM unlock mode, the Set Machine Unique Data option appears in the Main Menu of  
the HP Computer Setup utility:  
Selecting this option presents the following menu, which allows the service technician to enter the required  
information directly from Computer Setup.  
After all of the required information is populated, the service technician is prompted to save changes and exit.  
Another prompt asks the technician to lock the MPM.

8 DMI programming procedures  
HP Commercial Notebooks that use the HP Common Core BIOS no longer require the WNDIFIT tool to update  
DMI information. Instead, the DMI information can be entered directly into the HP Computer Setup utility  
when the notebook is in MPM Unlock mode.  
HP Common Core BIOS Programming Process  
After system board replacement, the BIOS should be in Manufacturer’s Programming Mode (MPM), and ‘Panic  
Mode’. In this state, the board is unlocked and prompts for DMI programming by showing which fields require  
programming at the start of each boot cycle.  
NOTE: ‘Panic Mode’ is a warning screen designed to highlight which DMI fields require programming. Other  
BIOS features remain unchanged and the system can boot to the OS.  
The system board can be in the following states relative to DMI programming:  
State  
Description  
MPM unlocked and Panic Mode  
This is the state the replacement boards are in. The boards remain in this state for 35  
boot cycles, or until they are programmed and locked.  
MPM unlocked  
System Boards can be in MPM and not display the Panic Screen. The Panic Screen will  
be shown after 35 boot cycles if the board remains unprogrammed.  
MPM locked and Panic Mode  
If the board is not programmed within the 35 boot cycles after the Panic Screen is  
first shown, the MPM is automatically disabled and the board is locked, but the Panic  
Screen is still displayed showing which information is not programmed.  
An SMC key must be obtained to unlock the board and complete programming.  
MPM locked  
70 Chapter 8 DMI programming procedures  
   
Programming steps  
This is the process for the HP Common Core BIOS.  
WARNING! Completing the DMI programming process allows you to lock the system at the conclusion  
preventing further programming. A system-specific MPM unlock key is required to reprogram the system  
after it has been locked.  
1. Start the computer. The computer should be in MPM mode and ready for DMI Programming.  
NOTE: If the computer is not in MPM mode, you will be unable to program it and you must obtain a  
SMC.BIN file to unlock the system.  
2. When you boot the system, the BIOS might be in ‘Panic Mode’, which shows what DMI information is  
missing. From here you can continue to boot the system to the operating system or enter BIOS to  
program the required fields.  
NOTE: If the system supports Panic Mode, this screen displays until all the fields are populated.

ever need to. These tools will help you return your computer to a proper working state, all with simple steps.  
This section provides information about the following processes:  
Creating recovery media and backups  
Restoring and recovering your system  
Creating recovery media and backups  
Recovery after a system failure is only as good as your most recent backup.  
1. After you successfully set up the computer, create HP Recovery media. This step creates a Windows 7  
operating system DVD and a Driver Recovery DVD. The Windows DVD can be used to reinstall the original  
operating system in cases where the hard drive is corrupted or has been replaced. The Driver Recovery  
DVD installs specific drivers and applications. See Creating recovery media with HP Recovery Disc  
2. Use Windows Backup and Recovery tools to perform the following:  
Back up individual files and folders  
Back up your entire hard drive (select products only)  
Create system repair discs (select products only) with the installed optical drive (select products  
only) or an optional external optical drive  
Create system restore points  
NOTE: This guide describes an overview of backing up, restoring, and recovering options. For more details  
about the tools provided, see Help and Support. To access Help and Support, select Start > Help and Support.  
NOTE: HP recommends that you print the recovery procedures and save them for later use, in case of  
system instability.  
In case of system failure, you can use the backup files to restore the contents of your computer. See Backing

reasonably current backup. You should also create Windows system repair media (select products only) which  
can be used to start up (boot) the computer and repair the operating system in case of system instability or  
failure. Your initial and subsequent backups allow you to restore your data and settings if a failure occurs.  
You can back up your information to an optional external hard drive, a network drive, or discs.  
Note the following when backing up:  
Store personal files in the Documents library, and back it up regularly.  
Back up templates that are stored in their associated directories.  
Save customized settings that appear in a window, toolbar, or menu bar by taking a screen shot of your  
settings. The screen shot can be a time-saver if you have to reset your preferences.

13 Statement of memory volatility  
The purpose of this chapter is to provide general information regarding nonvolatile memory in HP Business  
PCs. This chapter also provides general instructions for restoring nonvolatile memory that can contain  
personal data after the system has been powered off and the hard drive has been removed.  
HP Business PC products that use Intel®-based or AMD®-based system boards contain volatile DDR memory.  
The amount of nonvolatile memory present in the system depends upon the system configuration. Intel-  
based and AMD-based system boards contain nonvolatile memory subcomponents as originally shipped from  
HP, assuming that no subsequent modifications have been made to the system and assuming that no  
applications, features, or functionality have been added to or installed on the system.  
Following system shutdown and removal of all power sources from an HP Business PC system, personal data  
can remain on volatile system memory (DIMMs) for a finite period of time and will also remain in nonvolatile  
memory. Use the steps below to remove personal data from the PC, including the nonvolatile memory found  
in Intel-based and AMD-based system boards.  
NOTE: If your tablet has a keyboard base, connect to the keyboard base before beginning steps in this  
chapter.

Questions and answers  
1. How can the BIOS settings be restored (returned to factory settings)?  
IMPORTANT: Restore defaults does not securely erase any data on your hard drive. See question and  
answer 6 for steps to securely erase data.  
Restore defaults does not reset the Custom Secure Boot keys. See question and answer 7 for  
information about resetting the keys.  
a. Turn on or restart the computer, and then press esc while the "Press the ESC key for Startup Menu"  
message is displayed at the bottom of the screen.  
b. Select Main, and then select Restore defaults.  
c. Follow the on-screen instructions.  
d. Select Main, select Save Changes and Exit, and then follow the on-screen instructions.  
2. What is a UEFI BIOS, and how is it different from a legacy BIOS?  
The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) BIOS is an industry-standard software interface  
between the platform firmware and an operating system (OS). It is a replacement for the older BIOS  
architecture, but supports much of the legacy BIOS functionality.  
Like the legacy BIOS, the UEFI BIOS provides an interface to display the system information and  
configuration settings and to change the configuration of your computer before an OS is loaded. BIOS  
provides a secure run-time environment that supports a Graphic User Interface (GUI). In this  
environment, you can use either a pointing device (Touchscreen, TouchPad, pointing stick, or USB  
mouse) or the keyboard to navigate and make menu and configuration selections. The UEFI BIOS also  
contains basic system diagnostics.  
The UEFI BIOS provides functionality beyond that of the legacy BIOS. In addition, the UEFI BIOS works to  
initialize the computer’s hardware before loading and executing the OS; the run-time environment  
allows the loading and execution of software programs from storage devices to provide more  
functionality, such as advanced hardware diagnostics (with the ability to display more detailed system  
information) and advanced firmware management and recovery software.  
HP has provided options in Computer Setup (BIOS) to allow you to run in legacy BIOS, if required by the  
operating system. Examples of this requirement would be if you upgrade or downgrade the OS.  
3. Where does the UEFI BIOS reside?  
The UEFI BIOS resides on a flash memory chip. A utility is required to write to the chip.  
4. What kind of configuration data is stored on the DIMM Serial Presence Detect (SPD) memory  
module? How would this data be written?  
The DIMM SPD memory contains information about the memory module, such as size, serial number,  
data width, speed/timing, voltage, and thermal information. This information is written by the module  
manufacturer and stored on an EEPROM. This EEPROM cannot be written to when the memory module is  
installed in a PC. Third-party tools do exist that can write to the EEPROM when the memory module is  
not installed in a PC. Various third-party tools are available to read SPD memory.  
5. What is meant by “Restore the nonvolatile memory found in Intel-based system boards”?  
This message relates to clearing the Real Time Clock (RTC) CMOS memory that contains PC configuration  
data.  
6. How can the BIOS security be reset to factory defaults and data erased?  
Questions and answers 97  
 
IMPORTANT: Resetting will result in the loss of information.  
These steps will not reset Custom Secure Boot Keys. See question and answer 7 for information about  
resetting the keys.  
a. Turn on or restart the computer, and then press esc while the "Press the ESC key for Startup Menu"  
message is displayed at the bottom of the screen.  
b. Select Main, and then select Reset BIOS Security to Factory Default.  
c. Follow the on-screen instructions.  
d. Select Main, select Save Changes and Exit, and then follow the on-screen instructions.  
7. How can the Custom Secure Boot Keys be reset?  
Secure Boot is a feature to ensure that only authenticated code can start on a platform. If you enabled  
Secure Boot and created Custom Secure Boot Keys, simply disabling Secure Boot will not clear the keys.  
You must also select to clear the Custom Secure Boot Keys. Use the same Secure Boot access procedure  
you used to create the Custom Secure Boot Keys, but make the selection to clear or delete all Secure  
Boot Keys.  
a. Turn on or restart the computer, and then press esc while the "Press the ESC key for Startup Menu"  
message is displayed at the bottom of the screen.  
b. Select the Security menu, select Secure Boot Configuration, and then follow the on-screen  
instructions.  
c. At the Secure Boot Configuration window, select Secure Boot, select Clear Secure Boot Keys, and  
then follow the on-screen instructions to continue.  
Using HP Sure Start (select models only)  
Select computer models are configured with HP Sure Start, a technology that continuously monitors your  
computer's BIOS for attacks or corruption. If the BIOS becomes corrupted or is attacked, HP Sure Start  
restores the BIOS to its previously safe state, without user intervention. Those select computer models ship  
with HP Sure Start configured and enabled. HP Sure Start is configured and already enabled so that most  
users can use the HP Sure Start default configuration. The default configuration can be customized by  
advanced users.  
To access the latest documentation on HP Sure Start, go to http://www.hp.com/support, and select your  
country. Select Drivers & Downloads, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
