This Manual

This manual provides additional guidelines for using the HP Image

Library drivers and utilities.

This manual is intended for MIS (Management Information Services),

IT (Information Technology), or system administrator personnel. A

good knowledge of Microsoft operating systems as well as software

deployment tools is required. You must have administrator privileges.

The HP Image Library is part of the HP PC Image Engineer products

(described on page 4).

What Is the Image Library?

The Image Library is a set of drivers and utilities that are packaged so

that you can:

•Perform automatic installations on local PCs

•Update a server to perform remote installations using your own

deployment or maintenance solution or Microsoft SMS 2.0.

These drivers and utilities are available on the Image Library &

Diagnostics CD-ROM provided with HP PCs (described on page 4), or

on the HP support web site www.hp.com/go/support.

The Image Library can be useful during much of the PC’s lifecycle, for

instance:

•During creation, evaluation and qualification of a disk image

•For maintenance tasks, for example, using Microsoft SMS to perform

driver updates on remote PCs.

The Image Library is one part of HP PC Image Engineer solutions. The

HP PC Image Engineer suite comprises these products:

version, you can:

•Recover the operating system

•Set disk partitioning parameters

•Upgrade or downgrade the operating system (to the alternative

•Browse the operating system master files.

This CD-ROM can be used in cases where you must reinstall your

upload the drivers and utilities to your server and then perform remote

installations using Microsoft SMS 2.0 or your chosen deployment

solution.

These packaged drivers and utilities are available on the HP support

web site www.hp.com/go/support.

1 Preliminary Information

Overview of the Library Contents

The Image Library drivers and HP software utilities are provided in two

different formats:

•Automatic packages. Each automatic package consists of a single

executable file. These packages are available on the Image Library

& Diagnostics CD-ROM (described on page 4) and on the HP

support web site www.hp.com/go/support.

•SMS packages. These packages are in Microsoft SMS 2.0 format and

each package can consist of up to four files. Only the drivers (not the

HP utilities) are provided. These packages are only available on the

HP Support web site www.hp.com/go/support.

Language Versions

For the Automatic packages, all language versions of the operating

system (that are shipped by HP) are supported.

The SMS packages support only the English version of the operating

system.

LAN Card Drivers and Network Protocols

When using the Image Library to install LAN card drivers, the following

network protocols are automatically installed for each operating

system:

•Windows 98/2000: TCP/IP (DHCP)

•Windows NT 4: NetBEUI.

When LAN drivers are installed, a random hostname is automatically

generated to ensure that there is no conflict with any other PC on the

network.
