Unpacking the PC and Monitor Unpacking the PC and Monitor Remove the HP Brio and the monitor from their boxes. For a basic configuration, you will find the items shown here. You may also have some optional items not shown here. Your monitor may be different from the one shown here.
Connecting Devices to Your HP Brio PC Connecting Devices to Your HP Brio PC Caution Check that the correct power supply voltage is selected for your country (the voltage is set during manufacturing and should already be correct). Before starting up the PC, connect devices and power cords to the rear of the PC as shown below: The connectors are color-coded for easy matching. Match the colors. The connectors are shaped to go in one way only . Connecting a Mouse, Keyboard, Power Cords and a Monitor.

Connecting Devices to Your HP Brio PC Setting the Country for Your Modem You must ensure the country setting for your modem is correct. The country is set to match the country you select when configuring your operating system. In some cases, however, the modem may not correctly identify a corresponding country profile. In such cases, reselection may be required to match your exact location.
Comfort and Safety Checklist Comfort and Safety Checklist Before using your new HP Brio PC, ensure that your working environment is correct. Preparing Your Work Environment When using HP computing equipment, it is important that your work environment contributes to your comfort and productivity: Keyboard Slope Tilt Monitor Swivel Thigh Clearance ≥6cm Keyboard Height 64-76 cm • Work Surface Height - Your work surface should be height adjustable.
Comfort and Safety Checklist your left or right arm. If you are using both a mouse and keyboard, place them both at the same work surface height and close together. If a palm rest is used, the height should be flush with the front edge of the keyboard. Other items, such as your telephone or notepad, should also be considered. Caution Various aspects of using mice, keyboards and other input devices may increase your risk of discomfort or injury.
Comfort and Safety Checklist • Remember to occasionally shift position and move your body. Keeping your body in one position for long periods is unnatural and stressful. When prolonged work is required, take frequent short breaks. As a rule of thumb, a five or ten minute break every hour is a good idea. Short frequent breaks are more beneficial than longer less frequent breaks. Data show that people who work for long periods of time without a break may be more prone to ergonomic injury.

Status 5 Technical Information This chapter provides technical information on your PC. For more detailed information, refer to the PC’s datasheet in the library on HP’s web site: www.hp.com/desktops. HP Setup Program ......................................................................... page 72 Clearing Your PC’s CMOS (BIOS) Settings ..................................... page 74 Your PC’s BIOS .............................................................................
HP Setup Program HP Setup Program The HP Setup program allows you to view and change the configuration of your HP Brio PC. Sometimes you may also need to enter the Setup program to reconfigure your PC after installing new hardware components. The Setup program has online help to guide you through any changes you have to make. Entering the Setup Program To enter the Setup program, press F2 when the Hewlett-Packard logo appears on screen.
HP Setup Program • Boot - for choosing your boot device order and priority. You can select the order of the devices from which the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) attempts to boot the operating system. During the POST (Power On Self-Test), if the BIOS is unsuccessful at booting from one device, it will try the next one on the Boot Device Priority list until an operating system is found. The default boot device is the floppy disk. • Exit: for leaving the Setup program.
Clearing Your PC’s CMOS (BIOS) Settings Clearing Your PC’s CMOS (BIOS) Settings CMOS is a chip that keeps a record of installed components when your PC is turned off. Clearing CMOS settings may help you resolve some common problems. For example: • when you need to clear passwords to have full access to your PC’s BIOS Setup program • when your PC cannot detect an expansion card or other device • when you are having problems booting the PC.
Clearing Your PC’s CMOS (BIOS) Settings Switch Switch function: 1 CMOS OFF = normal (default) ON = clear CMOS and reload default values in Setup 2 Password OFF = enabled (default) ON = disabled/clear User and Administrator passwords 3 Reserved OFF = default 4 Reserved OFF = default 2 Change the position of switch 1 to ON to clear both CMOS and passwords. If you want to clear passwords only, set switch 2 to ON. Note that other BIOS settings will remain unchanged.
Your PC’s BIOS Your PC’s BIOS The BIOS (Basic Input Output System) in your PC has the following roles: • It tests and configures your PC’s hardware components during the POST (Power On Self-Test). • It lets you configure your PC by using the Setup program. See “HP Setup Program” on page 72. • It provides the link between the software running on your PC and your PC’s hardware. The BIOS is stored in a chip on the system board. A PC’s BIOS is specific to that PC.
