software list. Then, visit http://www.hp.com/go/support for a list of
software to add.
Installing the Software on the First Computer
Use the Software Installation Disc to install both the HP MediaSmart Server
software and the Windows Home Server Connector software.
The software installation consists of the following:
• HP Update (if not already installed)
• Windows components—Windows Installer 3.1 and .NET 2.0 or later
software. (Installed only if they are not already on the computer)
• HP MediaSmart Server software
• Windows Home Server Connector
• Windows Home Server Setup—the setup runs only on the first computer
where the software is installed.
Checking for Administrative Privileges
You must have administrative privileges on your home computer to install the
software. Complete the following instructions for Windows Vista or Windows
XP to view or change user account settings.
• In Windows Vista, click Start, Control Panel, and then User
Accounts and Family Safety.
• In Windows XP, click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click
User Accounts.
Inserting the Software Installation Disc
The Software Installation Disc first installs the HP MediaSmart Server software
and then the Microsoft Home Server Connector software on your computer.
Sidebar: Hubs and Network Health Light
Some network hubs, as opposed to switches or routers, may reduce performance
between your computer and the HP MediaSmart Server, or the hub may prevent your
computer from communicating with the server. If this is a problem, the network health
indicator light on the front of the server will be off. Replacing the hub with a switch may
improve the network performance or restore connectivity.
