B 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 workstation or computer chassis.
●
Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm +/- 10 percent resistance in the
ground cords. To provide proper ground, 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 on static electricity, contact an HP authorized dealer, reseller, or
service provider.

C Computer Operating Guidelines,
Routine Care and Shipping Preparation
Computer Operating Guidelines and Routine Care
Follow these guidelines to properly set up and care for the computer and monitor:
● Although the display is water resistant, it is best to keep it away from excessive moisture, direct
sunlight, and extremes of heat and cold.
Never restrict the airflow into the computer by blocking any vents or air intakes.
●
● Never operate the computer with the cover or side panel removed.
Do not stack computers on top of each other or place computers so near each other that they
●
are subject to each other’s re-circulated or preheated air.
If the computer is to be operated within a separate enclosure, intake and exhaust ventilation
●
must be provided on the enclosure, and the same operating guidelines listed above will still
apply.
● Keep liquids away from the computer vents.
● Never cover the ventilation slots on the monitor with any type of material.
Install or enable power management functions of the operating system or other software,
●
including sleep states.
● Turn off the computer before you do either of the following:
Wipe the exterior of the computer with a soft, damp cloth as needed. Using cleaning
◦
products may discolor or damage the finish.
Occasionally clean the air vents on all vented sides of the computer. Lint, dust, and other
◦
foreign matter can block the vents and limit the airflow.
Touch Screen Maintenance
Keep your display and touch sensor clean. The touch sensor requires very little maintenance. HP
recommends that you periodically clean the glass touch sensor surface. Be sure to turn off your
display before cleaning. Typically, an isopropyl alcohol and water solution ratio of 50:50 is the best
cleaning agent for your touch sensor. It is important to avoid using any caustic chemicals on the touch
sensor. Do not use any vinegar-based solutions.
Apply the cleaner with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using gritty cloths. Always dampen the cloth and
then clean the sensor. Be sure to spray the cleaning liquid onto the cloth, not the sensor, so that drips
do not seep inside the display or stain the bezel.
66 Appendix C Computer Operating Guidelines, Routine Care and Shipping Preparation
