2 Getting started When you first turn on a new thin client running HP ThinPro, a setup utility runs. First, the setup utility checks for a network connection. If specific network settings are required, click the Network Settings button to open the Network Manager (see Network settings on page 14 for more information). The setup utility then checks to see if the thin client is being managed by either HP Smart Client Services or HP Device Manager (HPDM). If the thin client is being managed by either program, the setup utility exits and the management program performs predefined configurations to the thin client. NOTE: For more information about HP Smart Client Services, see HP Smart Client Services on page 53. For more information about HPDM, go to http://www.hp.com/go/hpdm. If the thin client is not being managed by either HP Smart Client Services or HPDM, the utility checks whether there is an image update available from HP. If there is, click Install now on the Software Update tab to update the image. TIP: If you want to maintain your own internal site for image updates, you can customize where the operating system looks for updates by changing the following registry key: root/config-wizard/FirmwareUpdate/firmwareUpdateURL If you want to verify whether service packs or package updates are available, click Easy Update to launch HP Easy Tools. If you need to manually configure the HPDM Agent or the Automatic Update settings for HP Smart Client Services, click the Device Management tab of the setup utility and choose the appropriate option. TIP: If you want to check for software updates every time the thin client starts up, enable the Check for software updates every boot option. After you close the setup utility, if no connections are configured, you are prompted to configure a connection. NOTE: This initial connection wizard offers a quicker setup process than the standard Connection Manager wizard. If you plan to configure a single thin client and then copy and deploy its configurations to other thin clients using HP ThinState (see HP ThinState on page 18), use the Control Panel to make all of the desired configurations first. See Navigating the interface on page 4 and Control Panel configurations on page 7 for more information. 3

Getting started
When you first turn on a new thin client running HP ThinPro, a setup utility runs.
First, the setup utility checks for a network connection. If specific network settings are required, click
the
Network Settings
button to open the Network Manager (see
Network settings
on page
14
for
more information).
The setup utility then checks to see if the thin client is being managed by either HP Smart Client
Services or HP Device Manager (HPDM). If the thin client is being managed by either program, the
setup utility exits and the management program performs predefined configurations to the thin client.
NOTE:
For more information about HP Smart Client Services, see
HP Smart Client Services
on page
53
. For more information about HPDM, go to
go/hpdm
.
If the thin client is not being managed by either HP Smart Client Services or HPDM, the utility checks
whether there is an image update available from HP. If there is, click
Install now
on the
Software
Update
tab to update the image.
TIP:
If you want to maintain your own internal site for image updates, you can customize where the
operating system looks for updates by changing the following registry key:
root/config-wizard/FirmwareUpdate/firmwareUpdateURL
If you want to verify whether service packs or package updates are available, click
Easy Update
to
launch HP Easy Tools.
If you need to manually configure the HPDM Agent or the Automatic Update settings for HP Smart
Client Services, click the
Device Management
tab of the setup utility and choose the appropriate
option.
TIP:
If you want to check for software updates every time the thin client starts up, enable the
Check
for software updates every boot
option.
After you close the setup utility, if no connections are configured, you are prompted to configure a
connection.
NOTE:
This initial connection wizard offers a quicker setup process than the standard Connection
Manager wizard.
If you plan to configure a single thin client and then copy and deploy its configurations to other thin
clients using HP ThinState (see
HP ThinState
on page
18
), use the Control Panel to make all of the
desired configurations first. See
Navigating the interface
on page
4
and
Control Panel
configurations
on page
7
for more information.
