4 Removal and replacement procedures

Preliminary replacement requirements

Tools required

You will need the following tools to complete the removal and replacement procedures:
Flat-bladed screwdriver
Magnetic screwdriver
Phillips P0 and P1 screwdrivers

Service considerations

The following sections include some of the considerations that you must keep in mind during disassembly and assembly procedures.
NOTE: As you remove each subassembly from the computer, place the subassembly (and all
accompanying screws) away from the work area to prevent damage.
Plastic parts
CAUTION: Using excessive force during disassembly and reassembly can damage plastic parts.
Use care when handling the plastic parts. Apply pressure only at the points designated in the maintenance instructions.
Preliminary replacement requirements 27
Cables and connectors
CAUTION: When servicing the device, be sure that cables are placed in their proper locations
during the reassembly process. Improper cable placement can damage the device.
Cables must be handled with extreme care to avoid damage. Apply only the tension required to unseat or seat the cables during removal and insertion. Handle cables by the connector whenever possible. In all cases, avoid bending, twisting, or tearing cables. Be sure that cables are routed in such a way that they cannot be caught or snagged by parts being removed or replaced. Handle flex cables with extreme care; these cables tear easily.
Drive handling
CAUTION: Drives are fragile components that must be handled with care. To prevent damage to
the device, damage to a drive, or loss of information, observe these precautions:
Before removing or inserting a hard drive, shut down the device. If you are unsure whether the device is off or in Hibernation, turn the device on, and then shut it down through the operating system.
Before handling a drive, be sure that you are discharged of static electricity. While handling a drive, avoid touching the connector.
Handle drives on surfaces covered with at least one inch of shock-proof foam.
Avoid dropping drives from any height onto any surface.
After removing a hard drive, an optical drive, or a diskette drive, place it in a static-proof bag.
Avoid exposing a hard drive to products that have magnetic fields, such as monitors or speakers.
Avoid exposing a drive to temperature extremes or liquids.
If a drive must be mailed, place the drive in a bubble pack mailer or other suitable form of protective packaging and label the package “FRAGILE.”
28 Chapter 4 Removal and replacement procedures

Grounding guidelines

Electrostatic discharge damage
Electronic components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Circuitry design and structure determine the degree of sensitivity. Networks built into many integrated circuits provide some protection, but in many cases, ESD contains enough power to alter device parameters or melt silicon junctions.
A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor can destroy static-sensitive devices or microcircuitry. Even if the spark is neither felt nor heard, damage may have occurred.
An electronic device exposed to ESD may not be affected at all and can work perfectly throughout a normal cycle. Or the device may function normally for a while, then degrade in the internal layers, reducing its life expectancy.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the device when you are removing or installing internal
components, observe these precautions:
Keep components in their electrostatic-safe containers until you are ready to install them.
Use nonmagnetic tools.
Before touching an electronic component, discharge static electricity by using the guidelines described in this section.
Avoid touching pins, leads, and circuitry. Handle electronic components as little as possible.
If you remove a component, place it in an electrostatic-safe container.
The following table shows how humidity affects the electrostatic voltage levels generated by different activities.
CAUTION: A product can be degraded by as little as 700 V.
Typical electrostatic voltage levels
Relative humidity
Event 10% 40% 55%
Walking across carpet 35,000 V 15,000 V 7,500 V
Walking across vinyl floor 12,000 V 5,000 V 3,000 V
Motions of bench worker 6,000 V 800 V 400 V
Removing DIPS from plastic tube 2,000 V 700 V 400 V
Removing DIPS from vinyl tray 11,500 V 4,000 V 2,000 V
Removing DIPS from Styrofoam 14,500 V 5,000 V 3,500 V
Removing bubble pack from PCB 26,500 V 20,000 V 7,000 V
Packing PCBs in foam-lined box 21,000 V 11,000 V 5,000 V
Preliminary replacement requirements 29
Packaging and transporting guidelines
Follow these grounding guidelines when packaging and transporting equipment:
To avoid hand contact, transport products in static-safe tubes, bags, or boxes.
Protect ESD-sensitive parts and assemblies with conductive or approved containers or
packaging.
Keep ESD-sensitive parts in their containers until the parts arrive at static-free workstations.
Place items on a grounded surface before removing items from their containers.
Always be properly grounded when touching a component or assembly.
Store reusable ESD-sensitive parts from assemblies in protective packaging or nonconductive
foam.
Use transporters and conveyors made of antistatic belts and roller bushings. Be sure that
mechanized equipment used for moving materials is wired to ground and that proper materials are selected to avoid static charging. When grounding is not possible, use an ionizer to dissipate electric charges.
Workstation guidelines
Follow these grounding workstation guidelines:
Cover the workstation with approved static-shielding material.
Use a wrist strap connected to a properly grounded work surface and use properly grounded
tools and equipment.
Use conductive field service tools, such as cutters, screwdrivers, and vacuums.
When fixtures must directly contact dissipative surfaces, use fixtures made only of static-safe
materials.
Keep the work area free of nonconductive materials, such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and
Styrofoam.
Handle ESD-sensitive components, parts, and assemblies by the case or PCM laminate. Handle
these items only at static-free workstations.
Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.
Turn off power and input signals before inserting or removing connectors or test equipment.
30 Chapter 4 Removal and replacement procedures
Equipment guidelines
Grounding equipment must include either a wrist strap or a foot strap at a grounded workstation.
When seated, wear a wrist strap connected to a grounded system. Wrist straps are flexible
straps with a minimum of one megohm ±10% resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear a strap snugly against the skin at all times. On grounded mats with banana-plug connectors, use alligator clips to connect a wrist strap.
When standing, use foot straps and a grounded floor mat. Foot straps (heel, toe, or boot straps)
can be used at standing workstations and are compatible with most types of shoes or boots. On conductive floors or dissipative floor mats, use foot straps on both feet with a minimum of one megohm resistance between the operator and ground. To be effective, the conductive strips must be worn in contact with the skin.
The following grounding equipment is recommended to prevent electrostatic damage:
Antistatic tape
Antistatic smocks, aprons, and sleeve protectors
Conductive bins and other assembly or soldering aids
Nonconductive foam
Conductive tabletop workstations with ground cords of one megohm resistance
Static-dissipative tables or floor mats with hard ties to the ground
Field service kits
Static awareness labels
Material-handling packages
Nonconductive plastic bags, tubes, or boxes
Metal tote boxes
Electrostatic voltage levels and protective materials
The following table lists the shielding protection provided by antistatic bags and floor mats.
Material Use Voltage protection level
Antistatic plastic Bags 1,500 V
Carbon-loaded plastic Floor mats 7,500 V
Metallized laminate Floor mats 5,000 V

84 Chapter 7 Backup and recovery

Backing up and recovering using HP Recovery Manager

If your computer includes HP Recovery Manager, tools provided by the operating system and by HP Recovery Manager software are designed to help you with the following tasks for safeguarding your information and restoring it in case of a system failure:

Backing up your information

Creating a set of recovery discs
Creating system restore points
Recovering a program or driver
Performing a full system recovery
Backing up your information
As you add new software and data files, you should back up your system on a regular basis to maintain a reasonably current backup. Back up your system at the following times:
At regularly scheduled times
NOTE: Set reminders to back up your information periodically.
Before the computer is repaired or restored
Before you add or modify hardware or software
Note the following when backing up:
Create system restore points using the Windows System Restore feature, and periodically copy
them to a disc.
Store personal files in the Documents library, and periodically back up this folder.
Back up templates stored in their associated programs.
Save the customized settings in a window, toolbar, or menu bar by taking a screen shot of the
settings. The screen shot can be a time-saver if you have to reset your preferences.
To copy the screen and paste the image into a word-processing document:
1. Display the screen.
2. Copy the screen:
To copy only the active window, press alt+prt sc.
To copy the entire screen, press prt sc.

Backing up and recovering using HP Recovery Manager 85
NOTE: The external optical drive must be connected to the USB port on the computer, not to a
USB port on another external device, such as a hub or docking station.
NOTE: DVDs store more information than CDs, so using them for backup reduces the number
of recovery discs required.
When backing up to discs, number each disc before inserting it into an optical drive.

Creating a set of recovery discs

HP recommends that you create recovery discs to be sure that you can restore your system to its original factory state if you experience serious system failure or instability. Create these discs after setting up the computer for the first time.
NOTE: This task will require an optional external optical drive. The external optical drive must be
connected to the USB port on the computer, not to a USB port on another external device, such as a hub or docking station.
Handle these discs carefully and keep them in a safe place. The software allows the creation of only one set of recovery discs.
Note the following guidelines before creating recovery discs:
You will need high-quality DVD-R, DVD+R, BD-R (writable Blu-ray), or CD-R discs. All these
discs are purchased separately. DVDs have a larger storage capacity than CDs. If you use CDs, up to 20 discs may be required, whereas only a few DVDs are required.
NOTE: Double-layer discs and read-write discs—such as CD-RW, DVD±RW, and BD-RE
(rewritable Blu-ray) discs—are not compatible with the Recovery Manager software.
The computer must be connected to AC power during this process.
Only one set of recovery discs can be created per computer.
Number each disc before inserting it into an optical drive.
If necessary, you can exit the program before you have finished creating the recovery discs. The
next time you open Recovery Manager, you will be prompted to continue the disc creation process.
To create a set of recovery discs:
1. Click Start, click All Programs, and then click Recovery Media Creation.
2. Click Yes when prompted.
86 Chapter 7 Backup and recovery

Performing a recovery

NOTE: You can recover only files that you have previously backed up. HP recommends that you
use Recovery Manager to create a set of recovery discs (entire drive backup) as soon as you set up your computer.
Recovery Manager software allows you to repair or restore the system if you experience system failure or instability. Recovery Manager works from recovery discs that you create or from a dedicated recovery partition (select models only) on the hard drive. However, computers that include a solid­state drive (SSD) may not have a recovery partition. If that is the case, recovery discs have been included with your computer. Use these discs to recover your operating system and software.
NOTE: Windows has its own built-in repair features, such as System Restore. If you have not
already tried these features, try them before using Recovery Manager. For more information on these built-in repair features, click Start, and then click Help and Support.
NOTE: Recovery Manager recovers only the software that was preinstalled at the factory. Software
not provided with this computer must be downloaded from the manufacturer’s Web site or reinstalled from the disc provided by the manufacturer.

Recovering using the recovery discs

To restore the system files from the recovery discs:
1. Back up all personal files.
2. Insert the first recovery disc into an optional optical drive, and restart the computer.
NOTE: The external optical drive must be connected to the USB port on the computer, not to a
USB port on another external device, such as a hub or docking station.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Performing a recovery 87

Recovering using the partition on the hard drive (select models only)

On some models, you can perform a recovery from the partition on the hard drive, which is accessed by pressing either the Start button or f11. This restores the computer to its factory condition.
NOTE: This method of recovery is also an HP Recovery Manager solution.
NOTE: Computers with an SSD may not have a recovery partition. If the computer does not have a
recovery partition, you will not be able to recover using this procedure. Recovery discs have been included for computers that do not have a partition. Use these discs to recover your operating system and software.
To restore the system from the partition, follow these steps:
1. Access Recovery Manager in either of the following ways:
Click Start, click All Programs, click Recovery Manager, and then click Recovery
Manager.
– or –
a. Turn on or restart the computer.
b. Press f11 while the “Press <F11> for recovery” message is displayed on the screen.
