This Manual
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.
This manual provides guidelines for using the HP Image Library, which
is part of the HP PC Image Engineer.
What is the Image Library?
The Image Library is a CD-ROM that contains drivers and HP utilities
for HP PCs. The Image Library CD-ROM is the topic of this guide. This
CD-ROM is referred to as the full ‘Administrator Version’ of the Image
Library, to differentiate it from the Image Library & Diagnostics
System CD-ROM (described briefly on page v). The Image Library CD-
ROM is intended for MIS, IT, or system administration personnel.
The drivers and utilities are packaged to enable you to perform
automatic installations on local PCs and also to update a server so that
you can perform remote installations using your own deployment or
maintenance solution or Microsoft SMS 2.0.
The Image Library can be useful during much of the PC’s lifecycle, for
instance:
•During qualification of a disk image
•For maintenance tasks, for example, using Microsoft SMS to perform
driver updates on remote PCs.

iv
