Introduction
Thank you for evaluating the HP OmniBook 800.
The Mobile Computing Division developed this Corporate Evaluator's Guide to
facilitate your appraisal of the OmniBook. The guide discusses the computer’s
major features and provides instruction on specific operating systems. Rebuilding
the OmniBook if the hard drive has been formatted and loaded with your
company’s disk image is discussed for each operating system, particularly
addressing OmniBook-specific software, device drivers, and multimedia support.
You will find information on system resources, technical specifications, solutions to
common problems, and a list of support resources. Much of this information is
derived from our standard documentation and is consolidated here.
The exceptionally portable Hewlett-Packard OmniBook 800 features the following:
• Intel Pentium 166 MHz processor with MMX technology.
• Up to 80 MB of RAM.
• 10.4 inch TFT display.
• PCI BUS architecture.
• Optional external 8x CD-ROM.
• 2.1 GB hard drive.
• Zoomed video.
• PC CardBus.
• 128-bit graphics accelerator with 1.8 MB EDO video memory.
This lightweight desktop replacement targets the corporate user who demands
extraordinary portability coupled with uncompromising performance. The
diminutive four pound package vanishes effortlessly for transport, yet opens to
reveal a brilliant 10.4 inch display and comfortable keyboard.
An optional docking system allows single-action connection to multiple peripherals,
and the PC CardBus-enabled 32-bit PC card slots allow 100-Mbps networking and
other high-bandwidth applications.
Zoomed Video allows a PC card to write data directly to graphics memory,
providing lifelike, real-time video for training, presentations, or entertainment.
Power management options include several efficient power states that incorporate
our unique, instant-on technology.
The OmniBook typically runs Windows 95, which supports hot docking, Plug and
Play, infrared wireless data transfer, and hot swapping of accessories such as a
battery and floppy disk drive. If your company would prefer to use Windows for
Workgroups 3.11, you can elect to do so during the first install. You may later
decide to install Windows NT: the OmniBook is certified NT-compatible. The

1-3
OmniBook 800 meets or exceeds industry standards ensuring compatibility and
connectivity.
Innovative security features, including system and hard drive passwords, a PC
tattoo, and a serial number stored in CMOS, safeguard confidential information and
deter hardware theft.
Superlative hardware is augmented by HP TopTOOLS and Desktop Management
Interface (DMI). This software ensures efficient management of inventory,
configuration, performance, fault, and security.
A three-year worldwide limited warranty affirms the OmniBook 800's unmatched
quality and reliability. HP's unlimited customer service has earned top ratings for
notebook service and support and is available for the price of the phone call.

Power states after stopping the OmniBook
Method of Stopping Power State Condition
On/Off button
(with ac adapter)
Display Off Powered/operating state. The computer looks off, but only
the display, keyboard, and pointer are turned off. Network
and SCSI devices are maintained. Everything continues at
turn-on.
On/Off button
(no ac adapter)
Suspend Low-power/stopped state. Everything is off or in a low-power
state. Network and SCSI devices are off. Everything resumes
operating at turn-on.
Ctrl+Alt+On/Off button Off No-power/stopped state. Everything is shut down (battery
charges if ac adapter is connected). Computer reboots at
turn-on.
The Windows 95 Start button provides two commands that stop the OmniBook.
• Suspend changes the OmniBook to the Suspend state.
• Shut Down (shut down the computer) changes the OmniBook to the Off state.
If you plug in the ac adapter while the OmniBook is stopped, battery-charging
components are activated, but the OmniBook stays in the same power state. On the
other hand, if you unplug the ac adapter while the OmniBook is in the Display Off
state, it changes to the Suspend state—if you plug it in again, the OmniBook stays in
the Suspend state.
An OmniBook running on battery power automatically Suspends after a short
period of inactivity.

Introduction
Recovering Files, Drivers, and Applications
1-10
To install drivers, applications, and online manuals
The Drivers directory on the Recovery CD contains device drivers for common
operating systems. Updated drivers may be available from HP Electronic Support.
See page 1-9 for a complete list of installation tools.
The Recovery CD can reinstall HP OmniBook applications including Appointment
Book, Phone Book, Calculator, the online User’s Guide, OmniBook Tools, and
diagnostics. These applications work in Windows 3.x or Windows 95. To install any
of these programs, complete the following steps:
1. Connect your CD-ROM drive.
2. Insert the Recovery CD in the CD-ROM drive.
3. From the \OMNIBOOK\HPUTILS\DISK1 directory on the CD, double-click
SETUP.EXE.

To recover a damaged Recovery CD or hard disk drive
If you lose or damage the Recovery CD, take your OmniBook and Certificate of
Authenticity to an HP Service Center to be programmed. If you mail your
OmniBook for this service, you must provide a photocopy of the Certificate of
Authenticity along with payment.
Service Centers will replace a defective hard disk drive with a blank hard drive. You
can then program the drive using the Recovery CD or your custom build process.
To update the BIOS
Hewlett-Packard may update the BIOS to enhance the capabilities of the OmniBook
800. Updates will be available from HP Electronic Support Services. Refer to the
OmniBook Support chapter (page 8-21) for more information.
Important Because a BIOS update replaces the previous version, it is very important you follow
these instructions exactly. The BIOS update process resets the configuration settings
in the System Configuration Utility. PC Identification and Passwords are not
removed.
1. Shut down the OmniBook.
2. If necessary, undock the OmniBook.
3. Plug in the ac adapter.
4. Remove any PC cards.
5. Insert the BIOS Update disk.
6. Hold down the On/Off button and press the Reset button.
The OmniBook will beep several times. This starts a process that takes
approximately one minute.
7. When the battery light turns green and the computer stops beeping, press the
Reset button.
Do not interrupt the update process.

Introduction
Using OmniBook Security
1-12
Using OmniBook Security
Your OmniBook provides several ways for you to identify and protect your
computer including the following:
• Using password security.
• Setting up drive lock security and password protection.
• Attaching a security cable.
To use password security
You can protect your OmniBook against unauthorized use by activating password
security. The following types of protection are available:
• Turn-on protection . Prevents an unauthorized person from turning on the
computer and accessing your work. You can choose to always require the
password at turn-on (even after automatic turn-off), or you can require it only
after you do a “secure”stop (pressing FN+blue On/Off).
• Undocking protection . Prevents an unauthorized person from removing the
computer from a docking system. If you activate undocking protection, you can
undock your OmniBook only while it’s turned on.
• Hard-disk-drive protection (“drive lock”). Prevents an unauthorized person
from accessing your data after removing the hard disk drive from your
computer and installing it in another computer. (Your user password serves as
the drive’s password. The user password for the other computer must match the
drive’s password to access the data.) Don’t use hard disk drive protection if you
swap drives between computers.
• PC identification protection . Prevents an unauthorized person from changing
your identification stored in the computer.
• Separate user and administrator passwords . The user password is the general
password for most types of protection. The administrator password can serve as
a backup for the user password—you can enter it any time the user password is
requested. The administrator password can provide PC ID protection, and you
can use it to change or delete the user password. For complete information
about setting up passwords and OmniBook security, refer to the online User’s
Guide.
