SmartStart Software

SmartStart is a collection of software that optimizes single-server setup,
providing a simple and consistent way to deploy server configuration. SmartStart
has been tested on many ProLiant server products, resulting in proven, reliable
configurations.
SmartStart assists the deployment process by performing a wide range of
configuration activities, including:
Configuring hardware using embedded configuration utilities, such as RBSU
and ORCA
Preparing the system for installing "off-the-shelf" versions of leading
operating system software
Installing optimized server drivers, management agents, and utilities
automatically with every assisted installation
Testing server hardware using the Insight Diagnostics Utility ("HP Insight
Diagnostics" on page 66)
Installing software drivers directly from the CD. With systems that have
internet connection, the SmartStart Autorun Menu provides access to a
complete list of ProLiant system software.
Enabling access to the Array Configuration Utility (on page 61), Array
