The CD-ROM is required to install the EFC Management Applications software, both initially
and subsequent updates.
HP has decided to swap the internal Zip drive with an internal CD-ROM
drive during the EFCM software installation process, and then swap back to the internal Zip drive
for normal operation.

The OmniBook 6000 does not appear to support this capability.
The purpose for auto boot is to
allow the EFC Server to automatically resume operation after a power failure.
The managed
switches will automatically power up and resume operation, so it is highly desirable for the EFC
Server to automatically resume its monitoring activities without the need for operator
intervention.
