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

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.
This program is pre-loaded on the computer. When installed, it
enables communication with the administrator Deployment Solution
console.
