Replicating The Setup; Copying To A Single Workstation; Copying To Multiple Workstations - HP xw4300 Service And Technical Reference Manual

6. Turn the power on again to restart the workstation.
The following table lists the various keyboard light combinations used by the Boot Block ROM (when a PS/2 keyboard
is attached to the workstation), and explains the meaning and action associated with each combination.

Replicating the Setup

The following procedures give an administrator the ability to easily copy one setup configuration to other workstations
of the same model. This allows for faster, more consistent configuration of multiple workstations.
NOTE: Both procedures require a diskette drive.
NOTE: To collect and replicate BIOS settings on multiple computers, use System Software Manager or HP Client
Manager Software. For more information, visit http://www.hp.com/go/easydeploy.

Copying to a Single Workstation

CAUTION: A setup configuration is model-specific. File system corruption might result if source and target workstations
are not the same model. For example, do not copy the setup configuration from an HP xw4200 Workstation to an HP
xw4300 Workstation.
1. Select a setup configuration to copy. Turn off the workstation.
2. Turn on the workstation.
3. When the F10=Setup appears on the screen, press the F10 key to enter the utility.
If you do not press the F10 key at the appropriate time, you must restart the workstation and try again.
NOTE:
4. If you are using a diskette, insert it now.
5. Click File > Save to Diskette. Follow the instructions on the screen to create the configuration diskette.
6. Turn off the workstation to be configured and insert the configuration diskette.
7. Turn on the workstation to be configured.
When the F10=Setup appears on the screen, press the F10 key to enter the utility.
8.
NOTE: If you do not press the F10 key at the appropriate time, you must restart the workstation and try again.
Click File > Restore from Diskette and follow the on-screen instructions.
9.
10. Restart the workstation when the configuration is complete.

Copying to Multiple Workstations

CAUTION: A setup configuration is model-specific. File system corruption might result if source and target workstations
are not the same model. For example, do not copy the setup configuration from a HP Workstation xw4200 to HP
xw4300 Workstation.
This method takes a little longer to prepare the configuration diskette, but copying the configuration to target
workstations is significantly faster.
NOTE: A bootable diskette is required for this procedure. If Windows XP is not available to create a bootable diskette,
use the method for copying to a single workstation instead (see
