SmartStart Software

SmartStart software is a CD-based, single-server method for installing system
software, thereby achieving a well-integrated server and ensuring maximum
dependability and supportability. The SmartStart CD contains tools that diagnose
problems with your server, configure your storage array, and update the system
ROM.
SmartStart software enables you to:
•
Install major server operating systems using packaged product CDs.
•
Install the latest optimized drivers.
•
Create and copy standard server configuration scripts using the Scripting Toolkit
and Configuration Replication Utility.
•
Test server hardware using the new Enterprise Diagnostics LX32 Utility.
•
Update the latest system or option ROM using the ROM Update Utility.
•
Access software drivers directly from the CD. With systems that have internet
connection, the SmartStart autorun provides access to the complete list of
ProLiant System Software on the website.
