SYSTEM MANAGEMENT
COPYING TO MULTIPLE WORKSTATIONS
CAUTION A setup configuration is model-specific. File system corruption may result if source and target
workstations are not the same model. For example, do not copy the setup configuration from a xw6200
to a xw4200.
This method takes a little longer to prepare the configuration diskette, but copying the configuration to
target workstations is significantly faster.
NOTE A bootable diskette is required for this procedure. If Windows XP is not available to use to create
a bootable diskette, use the method for copying to a single workstation instead (see “Copying to Single
Workstation” on page 49 ).
1 Create a bootable diskette.
2 Select a setup configuration to copy. Turn off the workstation. If you are in Windows, click Start>Shut
Down>Shut Down .
3 Turn on the workstation.
4 Wait for the
F10=Setup
prompt to appear on the lower right corner of the screen. Once you see the
prompt, press the F10 key to enter the F10 setup utility.
NOTE If you do not press the F10 key at the appropriate time, you must restart the workstation and try
again to access the utility.
5 If you are using a a diskette, insert it now.
6 Select File>Replicated Setup>Save to Removable Media . Follow the instructions on the screen to
create the configuration diskette.
7 Download a BIOS utility for replicating setup (repset.exe) and copy it onto the configuration diskette.
To obtain this utility, go to http://welcome.hp.com/support/files and enter the model number of the
workstation.
8 On the configuration diskette, create an autoexec.bat file containing the following command:
repset.exe .
9 Turn off the workstation to be configured. Insert the configuration diskette and turn the workstation
on. The configuration utility will run automatically.
10 Restart the workstation when the configuration is complete.
