Desktop Management Guide Initial Configuration and Deployment The computer comes with a preinstalled system software image. After a brief software "unbundling" process, the computer is ready to use. You may prefer to replace the preinstalled software image with a customized set of system and application software. There are several methods for deploying a customized software image. They include: ■ Installing additional software applications after unbundling the preinstalled software image. ■ Using software deployment tools, such as Altiris Deployment Solution™, 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. The PC Deployment section of the HP Lifecycle Solutions Web site (http://h18000.www1.hp.com/solutions/pcsolutions) provides information to help you select the best deployment method. The Restore Plus! CD, ROM-based setup, and ACPI hardware provide further assistance with recovery of system software, configuration management and troubleshooting, and power management. 2 www.hp.com Desktop Management Guide
