A Electrostatic discharge
A discharge of static electricity from a nger or other conductor may damage system boards or other staticsensitive 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 exible 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 oors or dissipating oor mats.
●
Use conductive eld service tools.
●
Use a portable eld 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.

B Computer operating guidelines, routine
care and shipping preparation
Computer operating guidelines and routine care
Follow the guidelines below to properly set up and care for the computer:
●
HP recommends a 17 mm clearance from the ns on the rear panel for heat dissipation.
●
Keep the HP RP9 Retail System away from excessive moisture, direct sunlight, and extremes of heat and
cold.
●
Never operate the computer with any access panels 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 RP9 Retail System.
●
Never cover the ns on the rear panel of the computer with any type of material.
●
Install or enable power management functions of the operating system or other software, including
sleep states.
●
Shut down 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 nish.
◦
Occasionally clean the ns on the rear panel to keep them free of lint, dust, and other foreign
matter that may inhibit heat dissipation from the ns.
NOTE: For more information on your retail system care and maintenance, refer to “Retail Point of Sales
Systems - Routine Care and Maintenance” available at http://www.hp.com/support.
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 o 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 vinegarbased 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.
