Removing and Replacing the Side Access Panel Removing the Side Access Panel WARNING! Before removing the side access panel, ensure that the thin client is turned off and the power cord is disconnected from the electrical outlet. To remove the access panel: 1. Lay the unit flat on a stable surface with the right side up and the left side down. 2. Remove the two screws that secure the access panel to the chassis (1). 3. Slide the access panel about 8.
Replacing the Side Access Panel To replace the access panel: 1. Align the tabs on the access panel with the slots in the both sides of the chassis and place the access panel on the side of the unit, offset about 8.3 mm (1/3 inch) toward the top of the unit (1). 2. Slide the panel toward the front of the unit until the panel is flush with the bottom panel of the chassis (2). 3. Insert and fasten the two screws to secure the side access panel to the chassis.
Installing Thin Client Options Various options can be installed on the thin client: ● Removing and Replacing the Battery on page 12 ● External Drives on page 13 Removing and Replacing the Battery Before beginning the replacement process, review General Hardware Installation Sequence on page 9 for procedures you should follow before and after installing or replacing hardware.
The Taiwan EPA requires dry battery manufacturing or importing firms, in accordance with Article 15 or the Waste Disposal Act, to indicate the recovery marks on the batteries used in sales, giveaways, or promotions. Contact a qualified Taiwanese recycler for proper battery disposal. External Drives Various external USB drives are available as options for these thin clients.

To configure the serial ports: 1. Locate the serial port and jumper. 2. Place jumpers on the appropriate pins. (See Table 2-3 Configuring Serial Port Power on page 16 to determine the appropriate pins.) CAUTION: An unsupported configuration can cause severe equipment damage. Carefully verify COM Port Jumper locations and supported configurations before you configure a serial port.
CAUTION: To prevent severe equipment damage, carefully verify the location of the COM Port Jumper before you configure it. See Figure 2-4 Serial Port Jumper Locations on the System Board on page 14 for locations. NOTE: The jumpers in the following table are in the same orientation illustrated in Figure 2-4 Serial Port Jumper Locations on the System Board on page 14.

B Security Provisions Securing the Thin Client These thin clients are designed to accept a security cable lock. This cable lock prevents unauthorized removal of the thin client. To order this option, visit the HP website at http://www.hp.com and search for your specific thin client model. 1. Locate the cable lock slot on the back panel. 2. Insert the cable lock into the slot, and then use the key to lock it.
C Mounting the Thin Client HP Quick Release This thin client incorporates four mounting points on each side of the unit. These mounting points follow the VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) standard, which provides industry-standard mounting interfaces for Flat Displays (FDs), such as flat panel monitors, flat displays, and flat TVs. The HP Quick Release connects to the VESA-standard mounting points, allowing you to mount the thin client in a variety of orientations.
To use the HP Quick Release: 1. Using four 10 mm screws included in the mounting device kit, attach one side of the HP Quick Release to the thin client as shown in the following illustration. Figure C-2 Connecting the HP Quick Release to the thin client 2. Using four screws included in the mounting device kit, attach the other side of the HP Quick Release to the device to which you will mount the thin client. Make sure the release lever points upward.
3. Slide the side of the mounting device attached to the thin client (1) over the other side of the mounting device (2) on the device on which you want to mount the thin client. An audible 'click' indicates a secure connection. Figure C-4 Connecting the thin client NOTE: When attached, the HP Quick Release automatically locks in position. You only need to slide the lever to one side to remove the thin client.

Non-supported Mounting Option CAUTION: Mounting a thin client in an non-supported manner could result in failure of the HP Quick Release and damage to the thin client and/or other equipment. Do not mount the thin client on a flat panel monitor stand, between the panel and the stand.
D Thin Client Operation Routine Thin Client Care Use the following information to properly care for your thin client: ● Never operate the thin client with the outside panel removed. ● Keep the thin client away from excessive moisture, direct sunlight, and extreme heat and cold. For information about the recommended temperature and humidity ranges for the thin client, see Specifications on page 22. ● Keep liquids away from the thin client and keyboard.
Supported Placement HP supports placement of the thin client as follows: CAUTION: You must adhere to HP-supported placement to ensure your thin clients function properly.
Figure D-3 Under monitor stand with at least one inch clearance Supported Placement 33
Non-supported Placement HP does not support placement of the thin client as follows. CAUTION: Non-supported placement of thin clients could result in operation failure and/or damage to the devices. CAUTION: Thin clients require proper ventilation to maintain operating temperature. Do not block the vents. Do not put thin clients in drawers or other sealed enclosures. Do not place a monitor or other object on top of the thin client. Thin clients require proper ventilation to maintain operating temperatures.
E Electrostatic Discharge A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device. Preventing Electrostatic Damage To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions: ● Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers. ● Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
