Compaq Setup and Diagnostics
Software
Your Compaq Professional Workstation comes with Compaq software. This
software includes Compaq Utilities preinstalled on a hard drive partition and
ROM BIOS (Read Only Memory Basic Input/Output System). This chapter
explains how to access the Compaq Utilities menu, describes the options
available in Compaq Utilities, and discusses the ROM BIOS. For more specific
information about this software, see the online help.
If you have reformatted your hard drive and removed the Compaq Utilities
partition, it can be reinstalled by using the Compaq SmartStart for Workstations
CD, or you can download Setup and User Diagnostics diskettes from the
Compaq website at
http://www.compaq.com
.
NOTE
: For more information about installing your operating system, drivers,
and other support software, refer to the
Workstation Reference
included on the
Compaq SmartStart for Workstations CD.
