Replicating the Setup
The following procedures give an administrator the ability to easily copy one setup configuration to other
workstations of the same model. This allows for faster, more consistent configuration of multiple
workstations.
NOTE Both procedures require a diskette drive.
NOTE To collect and replicate BIOS settings on multiple computers, use System Software Manager or
HP Client Manager Software. For more information, visit http://www.hp.com/go/easydeploy.
COPYING TO SINGLE WORKSTATION

workstations are not the same model. For example, do not copy the setup configuration from an HP
Workstation xw8200 to an HP Workstation xw4200.
