You might prefer to replace the preinstalled software image with a customized set of system and
application software. There are several methods for deploying a customized software image, including:
●
Installing additional software applications after unbundling the preinstalled software image.
●
Using software deployment tools, such as Altiris® Deployment Solutions™, to replace the
preinstalled software with a customized 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 website
country/us/en/solutions.html) 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.
Remote system installation
Remote System Installation enables you to start and set up your system using the software and
configuration information located on a network server. This feature is usually used as a system setup
and configuration tool, and can be used for the following tasks:
●
Deploying a software image on one or more new PCs
●
Formatting a hard drive
●
Installing application software or drivers
●
Updating the operating system, application software, or drivers
To initiate Remote System Installation, press
lower-right corner of the HP logo screen. Follow the onscreen instructions to continue the process. The
default boot order is a BIOS configuration setting that can be changed to always attempt to PXE boot.
