Mounting the thin client
HP recommends mounting the thin client in the vertical (tower) orientation, with the HP logo right-side
up. Mounting in other orientations may result in decreased performance under certain conditions;
operating the thin client with limited power to prevent overheating is one such condition.
This thin client incorporates four mounting points on the right side of the unit. These mounting points
follow the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) 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.
NOTE: When mounting to a thin client, use the 15 mm screws supplied with the HP Quick Release.
To use the HP Quick Release:
1. Remove four screws from the right side of the thin client.
2. Using four 15 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.
