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 by:

●

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 HDD-based HP Recovery Manager ROM-based setup, and 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

Remote system installation enables starting and setting up the computer using software and

configuration information on a network server. This feature is usually used for system setup and

configuration and can be used to:

●

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 on-screen instructions to continue the installation

process. The default boot order is a BIOS configuration setting that can be changed to always

attempt a network boot.
