The Safety & Comfort Guide is located on the HP website at http://www.hp.com/ergo. WARNING! Energized parts inside.
Attaching the stand CAUTION: Unless the thin client is mounted with the HP Quick Release, it must be operated with the stand attached to ensure proper airflow around the thin client. Adjusting the stand The stand can be adjusted into two configurations: square for the horizontal position and rectangular for the vertical position.
Page 13
Position the stand over the bottom of the thin client and line up the captive screws in the stand with the screw holes in the thin client. Tighten the captive screws securely. ● Attach the stand to the right side of the thin client to use it in the horizontal orientation. Lay the thin client down with the right side up and locate the two screw holes in the grid on the right side of the thin client.
NOTE: An optional Quick Release mounting bracket is available from HP for mounting the thin client to a wall, desk, or swing arm. When the mounting bracket is used, do not install the thin client with the I/O ports oriented towards the ground.
Securing the thin client These thin clients are designed to accept a security cable. The security cable prevents unauthorized removal of the thin client, as well as preventing access to the secure compartment. To order this option, go to the HP website at http://www.hp.com...
DO NOT use any access panel except the one that is provided by HP for use with this thin client. Before removing the access panel, be sure that the thin client is turned off and the AC power cord is disconnected from the AC outlet.
Page 17
CAUTION: Regardless of the power-on state, voltage is always present on the system board as long as the system is plugged into an active AC outlet. You must disconnect the AC power cord to avoid damage to the internal components of the thin client. Remove the stand from the thin client.
Replacing the access panel To replace the access panel: Position the access panel on the chassis, approximately 6 mm (.24 in) inside the edge of the chassis. Slide the panel toward the front of the chassis (1) until it locks into place. Move the access panel latch (2) to the left to secure the access panel.
