Required tools and software

The following tools and software are required to service your workstation:
●

●
Diagnostics software

Screws

The screws used in the workstation are not interchangeable. They might have standard or metric threads
and might be of different lengths. If an incorrect screw is used during the reassembly process, it can
damage the unit. HP strongly recommends that all screws removed during disassembly be kept with
the removed part and then returned to their proper locations.

Special handling of components

The following components require special handling when servicing the workstation.

Cables and connectors

Cables must be handled with care to avoid damage. Apply only the tension required to seat or unseat
the cables during insertion or removal from the connector. Handle cables by the connector or pull strap
whenever possible. In all cases, avoid bending or twisting the cables, and be sure that the cables are
routed in such a way that they cannot be caught or snagged by parts being removed or replaced.
CAUTION:
during the reassembly process. Improper cable placement can damage the workstation.

Hard drives

Handle hard drives as delicate, precision components, avoiding all physical shock and vibration. This
guideline applies to failed drives and replacement spares. Keep the following guidelines in mind as well:
●
If a drive must be mailed, place the drive in a bubble-pack mailer or other suitable protective
packaging and label the package "Fragile: Handle With Care."
●
Do not remove hard drives from the shipping package for storage. Keep hard drives in their
protective packaging until they are actually mounted in the workstation.
●
Avoid dropping drives from any height onto any surface.
●
If you are inserting or removing a hard drive, power off the workstation. Do not remove a hard drive
while the workstation is on.
●
Before handling a drive, be sure that you are discharged of static electricity. While handling a drive,
avoid touching the connector. For more information about preventing electrostatic damage, see
