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.
NOTE: When mounting to a thin client, use the 10 mm screws supplied with the HP Quick Release
Kit.
Figure C-1 HP Quick Release
ENWW HP Quick Release 25
To use the HP Quick Release with a VESA-configured thin client:
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.
Figure C-3 Connecting the HP Quick Release to another device
26 Appendix C Mounting the Thin Client ENWW
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.
CAUTION: To ensure proper function of the HP Quick Release and a secure connection of all
components, make sure both the release lever on one side of the mounting device and the rounded
opening on the other side face upward.
Supported Mounting Options
The following illustrations demonstrate some of the supported and not supported mounting options for
the mounting bracket.

ENWW Supported Orientations 31
Non-supported Orientation
HP does not support the following orientation for the thin client.
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.
●
Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
●
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
●
Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.
Grounding Methods
There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or
installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:
●
Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded Thin Client chassis. Wrist straps are
flexible straps of 1 megohm +/- 10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper
grounding, wear the strap snug against the skin.
●
Use heelstraps, toestraps, or bootstraps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet
when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.
●
Use conductive field service tools.
●
Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.
If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, contact an HP authorized
dealer, reseller, or service provider.
NOTE: For more information about static electricity, contact an HP authorized dealer, reseller, or
service provider.

F Shipping Information
Shipping Preparation
Follow these suggestions when preparing to ship the thin client:
1. Turn off the thin client and external devices.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet, then from the thin client.
3. Disconnect the system components and external devices from their power sources, then from the
thin client.
4. Pack the system components and external devices in their original packing boxes or similar
packaging with sufficient packing material to protect them.
NOTE: For environmental nonoperating ranges, see Specificationson page 22.
Important Service Repair Information
In all cases, remove and safeguard all external options before returning the thin client to HP for repair
or exchange.
In countries that support customer mail-in repair by returning the same unit to the customer, HP makes
every effort to return the repaired unit with the same internal memory and flash modules that were sent.
In countries that do not support customer mail-in repair by returning the same unit to the customer, all
internal options should be removed and safeguarded in addition to the external options. The thin client
should be restored to the original configuration before returning it to HP for repair.
