HP Device Manager 4.6 Administrator Guide

Installing an HPDM 4.6 Service Pack

An HPDM 4.6 Service Pack can only be installed onto a system that has an HPDM 4.6 base

installation or a previous version of an HPDM 4.6 Service Pack. If there is only one component (for

example, the HPDM Console) of HPDM installed on a system, then an HPDM 4.6 Service Pack will

only update the installed component.

An HPDM Service Pack is cumulative. Each Service Pack includes the latest updates, as well as all

of the updates from any earlier Service Packs. For example, with a base HPDM 4.6 installation, you

only need to apply SP2 to get both the SP1 and SP2 updates.

To install an HPDM Service Pack:

▲

Double-click the setup file and follow the on-screen instructions.

After a successful installation of an HPDM Service Pack, the product name will update in the

Programs and Features list in the Control Panel to reflect the new Service Pack version.

Using the HPDM Console

Logging in to the HPDM Console

To launch the HPDM Console:

1. Either double-click the HPDM Console icon on the Windows desktop, or from the Start menu

select Programs > Hewlett-Packard > HP Device Manager > HP Device Manager Console.

The Log in dialog box will appear.

2. Enter the server address of your network’s HPDM Server. The address can be entered as an IP

address or as a machine name. If the HPDM Console is on the same machine as the HPDM

Server, then enter localhost.

3. Enter your Username and Password, and then click OK to log in to the HPDM Console.

NOTE: If the HPDM Console version is different from the HPDM Server version, you will see a

warning dialog when the HPDM Console starts.

HPDM Console overview

The HPDM Console window consists of three panes and a set of tabs that determines the current

view. The exact number of tabs is determined by the number of operating system types that have

been identified on the device systems.

There is one tab for each device operating system, one tab for unidentified operating systems, and

one tab for the HPDM Gateway view.
