They include: ● Installing additional software applications after unbundling the preinstalled software image. ● Using software deployment tools, such as HP Client Automation Standard Edition or HP Client Automation Enterprise Edition (based on Radia technology) to replace the preinstalled software with a customized software image. ● Using a disk cloning process to copy the contents from one hard drive to another. The best deployment method depends on your information technology environment and processes. ROM-based setup and ACPI hardware provide further assistance with recovery of system software, configuration management and troubleshooting, and power management.
