DESCRIPTION:
This package contains the HP Insight Diagnostics Offline Edition for the listed workstation models and operating systems.

HP Insight Diagnostics is a proactive management tool that provides diagnostics and troubleshooting capabilities to assist Information Technology (IT) administrators in verifying installations, troubleshooting problems, and performing repair validation. 

HP Insight Diagnostics Offline Edition performs various in-depth system and component testing while the operating system is not running, and is available by booting the Diagnostics CD. Insight Diagnostics also enables IT administrators to track hardware and software configuration changes, in order to form a complete and thorough auditing process for the system.

Diagnostics issues are known issues in the diagnostics that may or may not be corrected in a future diagnostics release. If a workaround is available it is noted in the bullets that follow:

* SATA hard drives are not recognized

* Keyboards are not recognized

* Network Controller information is incorrect

* Some user messages may not be localized and are displayed in US English only, even when the diagnostics are running in French, Italian, German, Spanish, or Japanese.

HOW TO USE: 
IMPORTANT: The CD data in this package is delivered as a single ISO image file 
(in the format .iso). This ISO image file is first downloaded to your hard disk 
and then must be burned directly to a CD-ROM, exactly as is. This is a large 
file (greater than 60 MB) and may take several minutes to download. Make sure 
you have enough space on your hard drive to store the image file.

1. Download the SoftPaq .EXE file to a directory on your hard drive.

2. Execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions to unpack 
the files.

Completing the previous two steps provides a master ISO image file of the HP 
Insight Diagnostics Offline Edition CD-ROM. From this ISO file, you can burn 
your own bootable CD.

A CD (ISO) image is not a collection of compressed or uncompressed data files; 
nor is it an executable (binary). Rather, it is a large, single file, which 
must be copied exactly as is onto a CD. In effect, you will download the image 
from the download site, and ''burn'' its contents onto your CD.

Burn the full ISO image onto a blank CD using a CD-ROM burner/recorder and any 
major CD-burning software, such as Roxio (Adaptec) or Nero. Most common 
CD-burning applications should have the ability to burn an ''image'' to CD.

The following procedure provides an example for creating a bootable CD from an 
ISO image file (using Roxio/Adaptec Software):

1. Insert a blank CD into your CD-ROM burner/recorder (the destination drive).

2. From the File menu, select Create CD from CD Image.

3. Select the image file (*.iso file) you want to make into a CD.

4. Click Open. The CD Creation Setup dialog box is displayed.

5. If necessary, change the CD Creation Setup settings. 

6. Click OK.


Use the following procedure to run the HP Insight Diagnostics once you have 
created a bootable CD:

1. Set your system to enable it to boot from CD.

2. Insert the HP Insight Diagnostics CD that you burned into the CD-ROM drive. 


3. Shutdown and restart
