Initial computer configuration and deployment
The computer includes a preinstalled system software image. After a brief software unbundling process, the
computer is ready to use.
If you prefer to replace the preinstalled software image with a customized set of system and application
software, you can deploy a customized software image using either of the following methods:
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 ROM-based setup and Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) hardware provide further
assistance with recovery of system software, configuration management and troubleshooting, and power
management.
Support for specific features described in this guide can vary by model and software version.
The best deployment method depends on the information technology environment and processes.
Installing a remote system
When the computer has been configured as a remote system, you can start it and set it up by using software
and configuration information on a network server. This feature is usually used for system setup and
configuration and can be used to perform the following functions:
Deploy a software image on new PCs
Format a hard drive
Install application software or drivers
Update the operating system, application software, or drivers
To initiate a remote system installation, press F12 when F12=Network Service Boot appears in the lower
right corner of the HP logo screen. Follow the onscreen instructions to continue the installation process. The
default boot order can be changed in the BIOS so that the system always attempts to boot from the network.
Copying a setup configuration to another computer
This section provides information about replicating the computer setup.
CAUTION: Setup configuration is model specific. File system corruption can result if source and target
computers are not the same model.
To copy a setup configuration:
1. Select a computer to use as the source of the setup configuration.
2. Connect a removable storage device to the computer, and then restart the computer.
3. As soon as the computer turns on, press and hold F10 until you enter Computer Setup (F10) Utility. If
necessary, press Enter to bypass the title screen.
NOTE: If you do not press F10 at the appropriate time, you must restart the computer, and then press
and hold F10 to access the utility.
4. Select Main, select Replicated Setup, and then select Back up current settings to USB device. Follow
the instructions on the screen to create the configuration file cpqsetup.txt and write it to a USB
storage device.
