Replicating the setup
The following procedures enable you to easily copy one setup configuration to other workstations of the
same model to provide faster, more consistent configuration of multiple workstations.
NOTE: Setup configuration procedures require a diskette or a USB such as an HP DriveKey.
To collect and replicate BIOS settings on multiple computers, use System Software Manager or HP
Client Manager Software. For more information, see
http://www.hp.com/go/easydeploy.
Copying to a single workstation
CAUTION: A setup configuration is model-specific. File system corruption can result if the 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 xw9400 Workstation.
1. Select a setup configuration to copy, then shut down the workstation.
2. Reboot the workstation.
3. As soon as the screen illuminates, press and hold the F10 key until you enter the Computer Setup
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, disregard the keyboard error message that might appear.
4. Insert the configuration diskette or USB.
5. Click File>Replicated Setup>Save to Removable Media. Follow the instructions on the screen
to create the configuration diskette or USB.
6. Power off the workstation to be configured and insert the diskette or USB.
7. Power on the workstation to be configured.
8. As soon as the screen illuminates, press and hold the F10 key until you enter the Computer Setup
Utility. Press Enter to bypass the title screen, if necessary.
9. Click File>Replicated Setup>Restore from Removable Media, and follow the instructions on the
screen.
10. Restart the workstation when the configuration is complete.
Copying to multiple workstations
CAUTION: A setup configuration is model-specific. File system corruption can result if the 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 xw9400 Workstation.
