Ordering Backup Diskettes
To protect your software from loss or damage, you should keep
a copy of all system software, applications, and related files that
are stored on your hard drive. You can order a set of backup
diskettes from Compaq at nominal cost, or you can make your
own backup diskettes, tapes, or discs.
You can order backup diskettes from Compaq for all of the
software preinstalled on your computer. You can order all
software as a single set, or you can order the various software
packages separately.
✎
Before calling Compaq to place your order, be sure to
have the serial number of your computer available. This
number is necessary for all diskette purchases.
Compaq authorized, dealers, resellers, and service providers can
tell you what backup software combinations are currently
available for your computer. For a list of Compaq support
telephone numbers, see Chapter 9, “Troubleshooting.”

Desktop Management Interface
The Desktop Management Task Force (DMTF) is an industry
body created in 1992 with the goal of standardizing systems
manageability. DMTF established the Desktop Management
Interface (DMI) framework to standardize access to PC
configuration data. Compaq, as a Steering Committee and
Technical Committee member of the DMTF, delivers hardware
and software instrumentation that supports the DMI standard.
