HP Compaq Thin Client Imaging Tool The HP Compaq Thin Client Imaging Tool is part of the SoftPaq deliverable that contains the original factory image for the HP thin client. You can use this utility to restore the original factory image to the thin client. This utility allows you to perform the following options: ● Create a bootable flash image on a USB flash device (such as on a disk on key). ● Unbundle the image to a directory for use in a custom deployment scenario or PXE image. For additional information about this utility and its uses, visit the HP Web site at http://www.hp.com/ support. Select the country from the map, then click Support & Drivers. Select See support and troubleshooting information, type the thin client model in the field, and click Enter. Image Upgrades Some management tools require PXE to install an operating system image. The Intel Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) is a protocol that defines interaction between TCP/IP, DHCP and TFTP to enable a client to download a preboot environment from a server. PXE allows a client to boot from a server on a network prior to booting the embedded operating system or the operating system from the local flash module. PXE allows a network administrator to remotely wake up a thin client and perform various management tasks, including loading the operating system and other software onto the thin client from a server over the network. The PXE client is installed on the thin client and the PXE server component is part of the Altiris Deployment Solution suite. NOTE: Citrix ICA auto update does not function for the ICA client installed on the thin client; updates are implemented through the standard firmware upgrade process. HP Add-ons If you want to install an add-on module, you can use the HP Device Manager or HP Client Automation to manage the thin client. Disable/enable the write filter as needed to save the changes. CAUTION: If the available free space on the flash memory is reduced to less than 10MB and/or the available system memory is reduced to less than 15MB, the thin client becomes unstable. NOTE: For add-on modules to work and be downloaded, there must be sufficient flash space available. In some cases it may be necessary to remove software components to free up space for addon modules.

Image Upgrades
Some management tools require PXE to install an operating system image. The Intel Preboot Execution
Environment (PXE) is a protocol that defines interaction between TCP/IP, DHCP and TFTP to enable a
client to download a preboot environment from a server. PXE allows a client to boot from a server on a
network prior to booting the embedded operating system or the operating system from the local flash
module. PXE allows a network administrator to remotely wake up a thin client and perform various
management tasks, including loading the operating system and other software onto the thin client from
a server over the network. The PXE client is installed on the thin client and the PXE server component is
part of the Altiris Deployment Solution suite.
NOTE:
Citrix ICA auto update does not function for the ICA client installed on the thin client; updates
are implemented through the standard firmware upgrade process.
HP Add-ons
If you want to install an add-on module, you can use the HP Device Manager or HP Client Automation
to manage the thin client. Disable/enable the write filter as needed to save the changes.
CAUTION:
If the available free space on the flash memory is reduced to less than 10MB and/or the
available system memory is reduced to less than 15MB, the thin client becomes unstable.
NOTE:
For add-on modules to work and be downloaded, there must be sufficient flash space
available. In some cases it may be necessary to remove software components to free up space for add-
on modules.
