What it is
How to run it
SmartStart software
Located on the SmartStart CD, SmartStart
is the intelligent way to set up the HP
server. The SmartStart CD is used to load
the system software, thereby achieving a
well-integrated server and ensuring
maximum dependability and supportability.
The SmartStart CD contains diagnostic
utilities and ROMPaq tools.
Power up from the SmartStart CD.
SmartStart Diskette
Builder
Creates a diskette version of the utility
from the SmartStart CD.
Use a workstation running the Microsoft
Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT
,
or Windows 2000 operating system. You
also need several 1.44-MB diskettes. Insert
the SmartStart CD into the workstation drive.
The CD automatically runs the Diskette
Builder Utility; however, if the server does
not support the auto-run feature, use
Windows Explorer to run
CD-ROM drive

ROM.
Insert a ROMPaq diskette into the diskette
drive, remove power from the server, and
