6. Power on the workstation to be configured.
7. Press and hold the F10 key until you enter the Computer Setup (F10) Utility. Press Enter to bypass
the title screen, if necessary.

Copying to multiple workstations
CAUTION: A setup configuration is model-specific. File system corruption can result if source and
target workstations are not the same model. For example, do not copy the setup configuration from an
HP xw6200 Workstation to an HP xw6400 Workstation.
This method takes a little longer to prepare the configuration diskette, but copying the configuration to
target workstations is significantly faster.
NOTE: A bootable diskette is required for this procedure. If Windows XP is not available to use to
create a bootable diskette, use the method for copying to a single workstation instead (see
Copying to
a single workstation on page 39
1. Create a bootable diskette.
2. Select a setup configuration to copy.
3. Restart the workstation.
4. As soon as the workstation powers on, press and hold the F10 key until you enter the Computer
Setup (F10) Utility. Press Enter to bypass the title screen, if necessary.
NOTE: If you do not press the F10 key at the appropriate time, you must restart the workstation
and press and hold the F10 key again to access the utility.
If you are using a PS2 keyboard, you might see a Keyboard Error message—disregard it.
5. If you are using a diskette or other storage device, insert it now.
6. Click File>Replicated Setup>Save to Removable Media. Follow the instructions on the screen
to create the configuration diskette.
7. Download a BIOS utility for replicating setup (repset.exe) and copy it onto the configuration diskette.
To obtain this utility, go to
http://www.hp.com/support/files and enter the model number of the
workstation.
8. On the configuration diskette, create an autoexec.bat file containing the following command:
repset.exe cpqsetup.txt.
9. Power off the workstation to be configured. Insert the configuration diskette, and power on the
workstation. The configuration utility runs automatically.
10. Restart the workstation when the configuration is complete.
