Toward the effort of completing the Compaq/HP merger, we are beginning the process of re-branding ProLiant servers as well as the products used to manage ProLiant servers. The Compaq Management Agents will be re-branded as the HP Insight Management Agents and Compaq Insight Manager 7 will be re-branded to Insight Manager 7. The newly renamed software will be referenced in pertinent documentation beginning with the release of SmartStart v6.00. As part of the re-branding process, you may notice some inconsistency between product user interfaces and documentation. For example, some screen captures, legacy applications, or, documents may still reference old product names or include pre-merger Compaq logos and icons. In all cases, the name "Compaq Management Agents" is equivalent to "HP Insight Management Agents" and "Compaq Insight Manager 7" is equivalent to "Insight Manager 7". ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.
