On selected desktop and notebook models, an Altiris management agent is included as part of the
factory loaded image. This agent enables communication with the Altiris Development Solution
which can be used to complete new hardware deployment or personality migration to a new
operating system using easy-to-follow wizards. Altiris solutions provide easy-to-use software
distribution capabilities. When used in conjunction with System Software Manager, or HP Client
Manager Software, administrators can also update ROM BIOS and device driver software from a
central console.

System Software Manager (SSM) lets you update system-level software on multiple systems
simultaneously. When executed on a PC client system, SSM detects both hardware and software
versions, then updates the appropriate software from a central repository, also known as a file
store. Driver versions that are supported by SSM are denoted with a special icon on the driver
download Web site and on the Support Software CD. To download the utility or to obtain more
