System Power Switch

Use the Power switch to power the system unit on and off.

NOTICE: There is no need to manually shut down the HP-UX operating system on

your workstation before powering it off. When you turn off the power switch, your workstation automatically shuts down the operating system before terminating the power.

Power LED

The Power LED lights when the system unit power is on.

System LEDs

The system LEDs indicate the status of your workstation. In the event of a system problem, the LEDs are lighted in different patterns to indicate error codes. See Chapter 6 for a complete list of the system LED error codes.

Security Loop

The security loop provides a means of locking the storage tray, with a padlock or other locking device, to prevent unauthorized removal from the system.

Audio Connectors

Your workstation has audio input and output capability through external input and output connectors on the rear panel and through an internal speaker. The rear panel contains the Audio IN (stereo line-in) and Audio OUT (stereo line-out) connectors.

NOTICE: To maintain compliance with FCC/CISPR B you must use fully shielded,

unbalanced audio cables and plugs.

System Overview

System Unit Rear Panel Connectors

The audio connectors are standard stereo audio mini-jacks. Hewlett-Packard recommends using gold-plated plugs available through audio retailers for best quality recording and playback through the external connectors. The following is a summary of the workstation audio features:

• Audio Features Programmable sample rates:

8kHz, 16kHz, 32kHz, 48kHz, 11.025kHz,

22.05kHz, and 44.1kHz.

Programmable output attenuation:

0 to -96dB in -1.5dB steps

Programmable input gain:

0 to 22.5dB in 1.5dB steps

Input monitoring:

16-bit linear, 8-bit u-law, or A-law coding

• Audio Input Line In Mono microphone (on the front panel) compatible with
