Print and Read Instructions: You must print out the NOS
installation instructions and follow them to manually install the
NOS.

∗

Create Drivers Diskette: If you choose to install the NOS with
the vendor-supplied installation utility included with the NOS
software, you will create a customized diskette containing HP
drivers and configuration files that you will need when you install
the NOS.

In Replicate Configuration, you can save a copy of your current system
configuration or load a previously saved configuration. This method saves time
when configuring multiple, identical systems.
