This method takes a little longer to prepare the configuration diskette or USB, but copying the configuration to target workstations is significantly faster. NOTE: A bootable diskette or USB is required for this procedure. If Windows XP is not available to create a bootable diskette or USB, use the method for copying to a single workstation instead (see Copying to a single workstation on page 41). 1. Create a bootable diskette or USB. 2. Select a setup configuration to copy, then shut down the workstation. 3. Power on the workstation. 4. As soon as the screen illuminates, press and hold the F10 key until you enter the Computer Setup Utility. Press Enter to bypass the title screen, if necessary. NOTE: If you do not press the F10 key at the appropriate time, you must restart the workstation and press and hold the F10 key again to access the utility. If you are using a PS2 keyboard, disregard the keyboard error message that might appear. 5. Insert the diskette or USB. 6. Click File>Replicated Setup>Save to Removable Media. Follow the instructions on the screen to create the configuration diskette or USB. 7. Download a BIOS utility for replicating setup (repset.exe), and copy it onto the configuration diskette or USB. To obtain this utility, go to http://www.hp.com/support/files and enter the model number of the workstation. 8. On the configuration diskette or USB, create an autoexec.bat file containing the following command: repset.exe cpqsetup.txt. 9. Power off the workstation to be configured. Insert the configuration diskette or USB and power on the workstation. The configuration utility runs automatically. 10. Restart the workstation when the configuration is complete. Dual-state power button With ACPI enabled, the power button can function either as an on/off switch or as a sleep button. The feature does not completely remove the power, but instead causes the workstation to enter a low-power standby state. This feature enables you to power off without closing applications and to return to the same operational state without any data loss. To change the power button configuration: 1. Click Start, and select Control Panel>Power Options. 2. In Power Options Properties, click the Advanced tab. 3. In the Power Button section, select Hibernate or Standby. (Hibernate must be enabled in the Hibernate tab to use this option.) After configuring the power button to function as a Hibernate/Standby button, press the power button to put the system in a very low power state. Press the button again to bring the system to full power status. To completely remove all power to the system, press and hold the power button for four seconds. CAUTION: Do not use the power button to power off the workstation unless the system is not responding. Powering off the power without operating system interaction can cause damage to or loss of data on the hard drive. 42 Chapter 4 System management ENWW
