3.1Initial Configuration and Deployment
HP computers come with a preinstalled system software image. After a brief software “unbundling” process, the computer is ready for use.
You can deploy a customized software image by:
■Installing additional software applications after unbundling the preinstalled software image.
■Using software deployment tools, such as Altiris Deployment SolutionsTM, 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 upon your information technology environment and
processes. The PC Deployment section of the Solutions and Services Web site (http://h18000.www1.hp.com/solutions/pcsolutions) provides information to help you select the
best deployment method.
