3 Best Practices for Installation of
Drivers with the Volume License
Operating System
Recommended Method (Automatic Driver
Installation)
Before installing the Windows MultiPoint Server 2011 Volume License operating system from DVD, go
to www.hp.com and search for drivers for your host PC model. Choose the MultiPoint 2011 OS then
locate and download the "HP Install Assistant" Softpaq. (Using this method, you will not need to
download any other driver Softpaqs.) Extract the Softpaq contents and carefully follow the included PDF
instructions. This will create a USB flash drive that when inserted during the DVD install of the OS, will
automatically install all of the necessary drivers.
Manual Driver Installation
If manual installation of the drivers is required, heed the following advice:
●
Perform all driver and software installations in Maintenance mode.
●
Do not connect the client to the host system until all drivers are installed.
●
Install the graphics driver BEFORE installing the other drivers; otherwise, the solution may not
operate correctly.
●
Install all system drivers (drivers for each HP host PC models are available on the HP.com
website). You do not need to download the "HP Install Assistant" Softpaq when installing drivers
manually.
●
Switch back into Maintenance mode as necessary until all drivers are installed.
●
Use the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer
®
to install browser add-ons (e.g., Adobe
®
Flash
®
Player).
●
Ensure that the latest Microsoft updates are installed.
●
Verify that the BIOS on the HP MultiSeat host PC is the latest version to be found on HP.com.
●
Follow the Quick Setup Poster sequence to connect the clients after the drivers are loaded.
●
Re-launch into Normal mode when all drivers and software are installed.
