1 Introduction
This document describes the setup and configuration requirements for the HP OmniBook 6000
notebook PC to function as an EFC Server. This is to be used as a guide for configuring the PC,
installing the software, and basic operation of the EFCM server application
The sections in this document are as follows:
• System Requirements – Describes the hardware requirements for EFC Server operation.
• PC Setup and Configuration – Describes the hardware configuration and CMOS setup.
• Windows 2000 Setup and Configuration – Describes operating system configuration.
• EFC Management Applications Installation – Describes steps for installing EFCM software.
• IIS Setup and Configuration – Describes Web server and FTP server installation
• EFCM Operation – Describes user operation of the EFC Management Services software.
2 System Requirements
The following table lists the minimum requirements for an EFC Server PC platform along with
the actual capabilities (compliance) of the HP OmniBook 6000 PC.

The CD-ROM is required to install the EFC Management Applications software, both initially
and subsequent updates. HP has decided to swap the internal Zip drive with an internal CD-ROM
drive during the EFCM software installation process, and then swap back to the internal Zip drive
for normal operation.

The OmniBook 6000 does not appear to support this capability. The purpose for auto boot is to
allow the EFC Server to automatically resume operation after a power failure. The managed
switches will automatically power up and resume operation, so it is highly desirable for the EFC
Server to automatically resume its monitoring activities without the need for operator
intervention.
