Initial workstation configuration and deployment
Your workstation includes a preinstalled system software image. After a brief software unbundling
process, the workstation is ready to use.
If you prefer to replace the preinstalled software image with a customized set of system and application
software, several methods are available for deploying a customized software image, including:
●
Installing additional software applications after unbundling the preinstalled software image
●
Using a disk cloning process to copy the contents from one hard drive to another
The best deployment method depends on your information technology environment and processes. The
PC Deployment section of the HP Lifecycle Solutions Web site (
http://www.hp.com/support/HPLS)
provides information to help you select the best deployment method.
The Restore Plus! CD, ROM-based setup, and ACPI hardware provide further assistance with recovery
of system software, configuration management and troubleshooting, and power management.
