NEC PowerMate CT manual Software Features, Preloaded Software

Software Features

NECC provides a variety of applications and hardware utilities with the system to let you take advantage of the system hardware capabilities.

Preloaded Software

The system comes preloaded with the Microsoft® Windows® 98 operating system or the Windows 2000 /Windows NT® operating system configuration.

If you have a Windows 2000/Windows NT configuration, you must choose the operating system you want to load. The operating system you choose is your only operating system and is the one that the Product Recovery Program restores.

NECC-provided applications, drivers, and utilities come loaded on the hard drive. You can install some of the applications from icons on the Windows desktop. Software available on the system includes the following applications:

!Microsoft Internet Explorer

Internet Explorer provides a top-notch browser with preloaded links for easy access to the world wide web. Also use Internet Explorer to access one of the many new browser-based utilities.

!Norton AntiVirus™ 2000 Software

Protect the system from viruses by running Norton’s virus scan software.

!Adobe® Acrobat® Reader

Use the Adobe Acrobat Reader to read and print portable document format (PDF) files found on the Internet and PDF documents included with various software applications.

!Online Documentation

Get quick access to comprehensive information about your system in the online PowerMate CT User’s Guide. See “Online Documentation” in Section 2 for a description of the documentation and how to use it.

!Intel LANDesk® Client Manager

Use LANDesk software to track system information such as serial number, BIOS version, memory capacity, disk capacity, expansion board settings, and applications. Use LANDesk software for remote starts from a server computer using Wake-On LAN and remote boot.

NEC Product Recovery Program CD

The system comes with an NEC Product Recovery Program CD and bootable diskette. Should a problem occur that causes data loss or corruption, you can use the NEC Product Recovery Program CD to restore the system to its original factory state or you can restore just the operating system and drivers. A full system restore loads the operating system and all the factory-supplied software that comes on the hard drive. See “Product Recovery Program” in Section 2 for information about using the restore options.

NEC PowerMate Driver CD

Use the NEC PowerMate Driver CD to install drivers for NEC system options that are not part of the factory configuration. Also use the NEC PowerMate Driver CD to reinstall NECC-supplied software. See “PowerMate Driver CD” in Section 2 for information about installing drivers from the CD.
