D510/D530 Software Image Comparison Overview
Abstract
Definition of
Terms
The purpose of this white paper is to present both an overview of the preinstalled software
with operating system support and a brief description of major software components and
features. This white paper covers the HP Compaq Business Desktop d530 models along with a
software comparison to Compaq Evo D510 models.
This document is intended for HP personnel and customers who need information about the
software provided on the HP Compaq Business Desktop d530 preinstall images.
Application Installer – This is an application provided by HP can be used to install
software that is pre-loaded (not preinstalled) on the hard drive.
Preinstalled applications – Preinstalled applications are installed during the initial
software unbundling, and are ready to use immediately.
Preloaded applications – Some applications from HP are loaded on the hard drive in an
uninstalled state; you must install the application manually before you can use it. Application
Installer provides a simple interface to the uninstalled applications. Note that some pre-loaded
applications have their own install program. For example, Norton AntiVirus and HP
ProtectTools are installed by selecting their shortcut icons from the START->PROGRAM menu.
Product family – A product family is defined as a set of form-factor types within a
numerically-defined series. For example, the HP Compaq Business Desktop d530 Series
consists of the d530 convertible minitower, d530 small form factor, and d530 ultra-slim
desktop.

Pre-installed

Contents
HP Compaq Business Desktops come standard with a factory-installed software image. The
image consists of a number of separate software components including the operating system
and its associated components, drivers for the specific hardware devices included with the
system (such as graphics, network interface cards, modems, etc.) and a small number of
additional applications.
Quick fixes (QFEs) are also included with the image for any Microsoft operating system issues
that HP identified as problems that might affect its customers. These QFEs will show up under
the Add/Remove Programs applet in the Control Panel. Since most of these fixes are critical in
nature, they will appear grayed out by design so they cannot be removed.
Standalone service packs may also be preloaded on some systems depending on the version
of the integrated operating system and the timing and nature of the HP Compaq Business
Desktop product introduction. Other software applications that are preloaded include optional
business software. Examples of these types of applications include: Norton Anti-Virus, Altiris
Deployment Solution Agents, Insight Management Agents, and HP Diagnostics for Windows.
In addition, an HP internally-supported application called Application Installer provides a user
interface to allow installation of these optional preloaded programs. (See page 2 for definition
of preloaded applications.)
