HP 6200 Pro Embedded Security Device

Hi

I've got an HP 6200 Pro & in the Bios under the security tab - device security, there is an option that lists Embedded Security Device. It either shows device hidden or available.

What does this do?

Thanks for that postmanfw. Does it matter whether I have it as hidden or available?

Nope. Leave it alone.

Having worked for Hewlett Packard for 10 years the likelihood is regardless of which option you pick, it will have an inherent security flaw within the firmware. Especially given that Hp do not write their own firmware.
