The HP Vectra XU 6/xxx PC and HP Vectra VT 6/xxx PC are the second and
third members of the HP Vectra family to use a minitower package (the
HP Vectra VL 5/xx MT series 4 PC was the first). The locations of the main
internal parts and external connectors of the HP Vectra XU/VT 6/xxx PC
version of the minitower are shown in the diagrams on pages 2 and 4 of
Chapter 1. All of the internal connectors appear on the system board, as can
be seen on page 18, since there is no backplane in these PCs.
The status panel of the HP Vectra XU 6/xxx PC and HP Vectra VT 6/xxx PC
have the following features:
a power on/off button with integrated on/error status light
a reset button
a hard disk activity light.
1 For safety, remove all power leads, connections to networks, displays, and

3 Lift the two securing latches at the front of the computer.
4 Hold the securing latches as shown in the next diagram. If necessary, push
with your thumbs against the CD-ROM bezel.
