Software Setup for Microsoft® Windows®
CAUTION:
Do not add optional hardware or third-party devices to the HP Workstation until the operating system is
successfully installed. Adding hardware might cause errors and prevent the operating system from installing correctly.
Use the following instructions to set up your OS and software:
•
Section 3.1 “Starting the Operating System”
•
Section 3.2 “Restoring the Software”
•
Section 3.3 “Verifying System After First Boot”
•
Section 3.5 “HP Cool Tools”
•
Section 3.6 “Customizing the Monitor Display”
•
Section 3.7 “Subscribing to Software Support”
•
Section 3.8 “Enabling Hyper-Threading Technology”
•
Section 3.9 “Using Energy Star”
•
Section 3.10 “Using Accessibility Features”
•
Section 3.11 “Using HP ProtectTools Embedded Security (Optional)”
•
Section 3.12 “Turning Off the Workstation”
3.1 Starting the Operating System
The first time you turn on the workstation, the operating system is installed automatically. This process takes about 5 to
10 minutes. Carefully read and follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.
CAUTION:
After the automatic installation has started, DO NOT TURN OFF THE WORKSTATION UNTIL THE
PROCESS IS COMPLETE. Turning off the workstation during the installation process can damage the software that runs
the workstation or prevent its proper installation.
NOTE:
After you have selected a language during initial boot of the OS, the language will be locked in on the hard
drive. If the system is restored for some reason, the restore CD will check for the language stored on the hard drive and
will restore only the original preinstalled language. In the case where a new hard drive is installed or no language is
found on the disk, the Recovery CD will install any language requested. If the wrong OS is accidently unbundled
during the initial boot, technical support will have to be contacted to get a “key” to unlock it and then you will be able
to restore the OS to the correct language.
A language selection is not required for the 64-bit operating system.
For complete operating system installation and configuration instructions, refer to the operating system documentation
that was provided with the workstation. Additional information is available in the online help after you install the
operating system.
3.2 Restoring the Software
Restore the original operating system and factory-installed software by using the
Restore Plus!
CD and the OS CDs that
came with the workstation. Carefully read and follow the instructions provided with the
Restore Plus!
CD.
WARNING!
The
Restore Plus!
CD restores the system to the state when the system was purchased. All user files,
applications, and so on will be
permanently
deleted
and cannot be recovered. Before using this restoration
option, back up your personal files, such as documents, music, and photos to a CD, external hard drive, or network
device.
NOTE:
If you must restore the operating system with Windows OEM CDs (installing without using the
Restore Plus!
CD),
you will need to call Microsoft in order to provide the company with a Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) number. The SKU
information is on the service tag. It is the OS product number in the lower right hand section of the tag. It should say
“OS: XXXXXXX” where the “XXXXXXX” is the OS product number.
NOTE:
If you are restoring on a 64-bit operating system, you will be prompted for the second restore CD.
