Technology Codes  
HP does not change the name of a product every time the products technology changes. While this  
helps ensure continuing market momentum for HP products, it complicates technology deployment  
and support processes.  
To help solve this problem, HP has added a technology code to the serial number of each of its  
products. Since the BIOS must be matched to the notebooks hardware, the same code is used for the  
BIOS and the hardware. This manual refers to technology code differences where applicable.  
The table below shows the technology codes and the changes they signify for the products. Before  
downloading software or drivers or performing repairs, note the technology code for the HP notebook  
model.  
Note that the first two characters of the BIOS ID (for example, IC.M1.02) indicate the hardware  
technology. You can also determine the BIOS ID using the BIOS configuration utility, or by pressing  
Esc during the boot process when the HP logo appears.  
This manual contains service information for products with the following technology code.
