Is the nc4200 preinstall image also compatible with other nc models? Yes, the nc4200 preinstalled software image has been tested with nc6110, nc6120, nc6220, nc6230 and nc8200 models. If a new model is introduced, will previously released models in the family that are still being manufactured be updated with the new preinstall image? Many customers have expressed a need for consistency. Therefore, HP will make every reasonable effort to maintain a consistent software image on corporate notebook models during the life of these models. How do I obtain updated software components? The latest software updates are available from the HP website at http://www.hp.com. For customers without Web access, the HP Software Support CD Kit is available. Will the current image change significantly if new models are introduced? As much stability as possible is provided in new models. Changes made to the preinstall images will be limited to modifications that support new hardware features or will significantly improve overall performance. How will I know what has changed? Updated HP notebook family software white papers describe updates or differences in software versions that are introduced with new products. HP Product Change Notification (PCN) is another method of communication to inform customers of changes to shipping models. For more information, go to http://www.hp.com/go/pcn. What is the difference between preloaded and preinstalled software? Preinstalled software refers to drivers, hardware enabling utilities, and applications that are ready to use as soon as your system has completed setup after initial power-on ("unbundling"). Preloaded software refers to applications and utilities that provide additional non-critical features on applicable models, such as management, DVD playback or CD-RW burning and must be installed prior to use. Why is some software preloaded? Select software is preloaded to provide flexibility for our customers. Some customers may choose different applications and utilities than those provided by HP. 9
