This Manual
This manual provides additional guidelines for using the HP Image
Library drivers and utilities.
This manual is intended for MIS (Management Information Services),
IT (Information Technology), or system administrator personnel. A
good knowledge of Microsoft operating systems as well as software
deployment tools is required. You must have administrator privileges.
The HP Image Library is part of the HP PC Image Engineer products
(described on page 4).
What Is the Image Library?
The Image Library is a set of drivers and utilities that are packaged so
that you can:
•Perform automatic installations on local PCs
•Update a server to perform remote installations using your own
deployment or maintenance solution or Microsoft SMS 2.0.
These drivers and utilities are available on the Image Library &
Diagnostics CD-ROM provided with HP PCs (described on page 4), or
on the HP support web site www.hp.com/go/support.
The Image Library can be useful during much of the PC’s lifecycle, for
instance:
•During creation, evaluation and qualification of a disk image
•For maintenance tasks, for example, using Microsoft SMS to perform
driver updates on remote PCs.

Overview of the Library Contents
The Image Library drivers and HP software utilities are provided in two
different formats:
•Automatic packages. Each automatic package consists of a single
executable file. These packages are available on the Image Library
& Diagnostics CD-ROM (described on page 4) and on the HP
support web site www.hp.com/go/support.
•SMS packages. These packages are in Microsoft SMS 2.0 format and
each package can consist of up to four files. Only the drivers (not the
HP utilities) are provided. These packages are only available on the
HP Support web site www.hp.com/go/support.
Language Versions
For the Automatic packages, all language versions of the operating
system (that are shipped by HP) are supported.
The SMS packages support only the English version of the operating
system.
LAN Card Drivers and Network Protocols
When using the Image Library to install LAN card drivers, the following
network protocols are automatically installed for each operating
system:
•Windows 98/2000: TCP/IP (DHCP)
•Windows NT 4: NetBEUI.
When LAN drivers are installed, a random hostname is automatically
generated to ensure that there is no conflict with any other PC on the
network.
