When remotely accessing the system BIOS of a HP Compaq dc7800 desktop machine using vPro, the BIOS appears in black and white as shown in the picture below:
![]()
to get the native BIOS colors you must configure the terminal emulator mode to ANSI
![]()
then, the BIOS will appear with colors as if you were sitting in front of the physical machine.

Thanks to Claude Henchoz for the hint.
