* Memory speed is processor dependent.
NOTE: Due to the non-industry standard nature of some third-party memory modules, we recommend HP
branded memory to ensure compatibility. If you mix memory speeds, the system will perform at the lower
memory speed. Full availability of 4 GB or more of memory requires Windows Vista Business 64-bit or
Linux. With Windows 32-bit operating systems, the amount of usable memory is dependent upon your
configuration, so that above 3 GB all memory may not be available due to system resource requirements.

connection to a Gigabit Ethernet server and network infrastructure is required.
** Designed for downloads from 56K modem compliant sources. Maximum achievable download

HP ProtectTools Security
Manager
HP ProtectTools Security Manager is the security platform for business notebooks and desktops. The HP
ProtectTools Security Manager is an extensible client security console that delivers enhanced security
capabilities through add-on software modules. The following modules are available on the hard drive (also
downloadable from the web) and can be configured in Software Setup:
Credential Manager for HP ProtectTools
Device Access Manager for HP ProtectTools
Drive Encryption for HP ProtectTools
File Sanitizer for HP ProtectTools
Privacy Manager for HP ProtectTools (Chat & Sign)
Embedded Security for HP ProtectTools
Computrace LoJack Pro for HP ProtectTools
HP ProtectTools is now centrally manageable with the capability to manage notebooks from a single
point. Security is management ready out of the box, in partnership with Digital Persona. New features
address requirements that customers expect from a centrally managed security solution such as user
provisioning, credential reset, and credential revocation.
HP ProtectTools provides two separate management solutions, targeted at the enterprise and the SMB:
Digital Persona Pro AD: Designed for the enterprise customer. Integrates with Active Directory and
gives IT Managers the ability to provision users, create login policies based on passwords,
biometrics or smartcards. Management features also include remote credential recovery in case the
user forgets the password, loses the smartcard or cannot use the fingerprint reader for any reason.
In addition, advanced auditing capabilities are also built in. Digital Persona Pro AD is available now.
Digital Persona Pro Workgroup: Designed for the small business customer. Provides features
similar to the Active Directory version, but for workgroups. Workgroup activation is built into HP
ProtectTools, and activation of up to 5 seats is completely free.
