WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage from electric shock, hot
surfaces, or fire:
Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet and allow the internal system components to cool
before you touch them.
Do not plug telecommunications or telephone connectors into the network interface controller (NIC)
receptacles.
Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.
Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the
Safety & Comfort Guide
. It describes proper workstation
setup, posture, and health and work habits for computer users, and provides important electrical and
mechanical safety information. The
Safety & Comfort Guide
is located on the HP website at

WARNING! Energized parts inside.
Disconnect power to the equipment before removing the enclosure.
Replace and secure the enclosure before re-energizing the equipment.
CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electrical components of the thin client or optional
equipment. Before beginning the following procedures, be sure that you are discharged of static
electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal object. See
Electrostatic discharge on page 26 for
more information.
When the thin client is plugged into an AC power source, voltage is always applied to the system
board. To prevent damage to internal components, you must disconnect the power cord from the
power source before opening the thin client.
