Cables and connectors
CAUTION:When servicing the computer, be sure that cables are placed in their proper locations
during the reassembly process. Improper cable placement can damage the computer.
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.
Preliminary replacement requirements31

Drive handling
CAUTION:Drives are fragile components that must be handled with care. To prevent damage to
the computer, damage to a drive, or loss of information, observe these precautions:
Before removing or inserting a hard drive, shut down the computer. If you are unsure whether the
computer is off or in Hibernation, turn the computer 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.
Before removing a diskette drive or optical drive, be sure that a diskette or disc is not in the drive and
be sure that the optical drive tray is closed.
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 an internal 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.”
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 computer 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.
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.

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.
34Chapter 4 Removal and replacement procedures
Page 45
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 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

7Backup and recovery
Tools provided by the operating system and 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
●
Creating recovery discs
NOTE: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: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, or CD-R discs. All these discs are purchased
●
separately. DVDs have a much higher capacity than CDs. If you use CDs, up to 20 discs may be
required, whereas only a few DVDs are required.
NOTE:Read-write discs (such as CD-RW and DVD±RW) and double-layer DVD±R 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 the computer 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, click Recovery Manager, and then click Recovery Disc
Creation.
2.Follow the on-screen instructions.
Backing up your information
Recovery after a system failure is as complete as your most current backup. You should create a set
of recovery discs immediately after software setup. These discs will allow you to start up (boot) the
computer in case of system instability or failure.
Creating recovery discs87
Page 98
As you add new software and data files, you should continue to back up your system on a regular
basis to maintain a reasonably current backup. Back up your system at the following times:
On a regularly scheduled basis
●
NOTE:Set reminders to back up your information periodically.
Before the computer is repaired or restored
●
Before you add or modify hardware or software

Using system restore points
When you back up your system, you are creating a system restore point. A system restore point
allows you to save and name a snapshot of your hard drive at a specific point in time. You can then
recover back to that point if you want to reverse subsequent changes made to your system.
NOTE:Recovering to an earlier restore point does not affect data files saved or e-mails created
since the last restore point.
You also can create additional restore points to provide increased protection for your system files and
settings.

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, if your computer includes a solidstate drive (SSD), you 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 from the recovery discs:
1.Back up all personal files.
2.Insert the first recovery disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
