setting the line voltage switch

CAUTION Care must be taken to ensure that the line voltage switch is set correctly.
Failure to do this could destroy the power supply if the line voltage switch is set to 115V and AC line voltage is 230V. If the line voltage switch is set to 230V and the AC line voltage is 115V, your system will fail to boot.
Before you connect your power cord to the workstation, you need to ensure that the line voltage switch on the back of your workstation is set to the correct line voltage for your power outlet. To set the line voltage switch, follow these steps:
1. Place the workstation so that you are looking at the back of it.
2. Use a small thin bladed screwdriver to slide the workstation’s line voltage switch to the left until you see 115 in the right opening of the switch or 230 in the left opening. See Figure 1-4.

Work Surface Height. Your work surface should be height adjustable. To
ensure that your work surface is at the correct height, first adjust the height of your chair so that your feet are firmly on the floor or on an angled foot rest, then adjust the work surface height until your forearms are parallel to the floor when you have your fingers on the keyboard or other input devices.
Chair. Your chair should provide a comfortable sitting position including
features such as a height and tilt adjustment feature, curved seat edge, a stable base (for example, five legs and castors, adjustable back support, a freely rotating swivel, fully adjustable padded arm rests).
Monitor. Place your monitor so that the top of the screen is at, or slightly
below, eye level (up to 15 degrees).
Work Surface Arrangement. Make sure that all elements of your HP
workstation system for example, monitor, document holder, keyboard, mice and other input devices, and headphones and speakers- are optimally arranged and adjusted to meet your personal requirements. For example, if you are primarily using the keyboard, place it directly in front of you, not to the side. If your work involves extensive use of a mouse or other pointing device, place that device directly in front of your left or right arm. If you are using both a mouse and keyboard, place them both at the same work surface
Chapter 1 37
setting up and using your workstation
working in comfort and safety
height and close together. If a palm rest is used, the height should be flush with the front edge of the keyboard. Other items, such as your telephone or notepad, should also be considered.
CAUTION Various aspects of using mice, keyboards and other input devices may increase
your risk of discomfort or injury. Optimize your comfort and safety by positioning these devices properly.

your work posture

Sitting in one position for long periods can be uncomfortable. To minimize the potential risk for physical discomfort or injury, it’s important that you maintain a proper posture.
Head. When viewing your monitor, your head should not be tilted more than
15 degrees forward, and do not turn your head toward either side.
Back. While sitting at your work surface, make sure your back is supported
by the chair's backrest in an erect position or angled slightly backwards.
Arms. Make sure your arms and elbows are relaxed and loose, with your
upper arms perpendicular to the floor or tilted downward not more than 15 degrees. Keep your forearms and hands approximately parallel with the floor with elbows bent between 70 and 115 degrees. Keep your elbows close to your sides (less than 20 degrees away from your body).
Hands, Wrists, Forearms. Try to keep your hands wrists and forearms in a
relaxed neutral position when using your mouse keyboard or other input devices. For example, while using your keyboard and mouse, rest your forearms (flat) on your desktop.
Legs. Your thighs should be horizontal or angled slightly downward. Your
lower legs should be near a right angle to your thighs. Make sure there is sufficient room under the work surface for your legs.
Feet.If after adjusting your chair you cannot rest your feet comfortably on the
floor, use a footrest, preferably one that can be adjusted in height and angle.

additional ergonomic issues

Look away from the screen from time-to-time to help reduce eyestrain. Focus
on distant objects briefly, and blink periodically to lubricate your eyes. You also should have your eyes checked on a regular basis and ensure your eyeglass prescription is suitable for working on a computer monitor.
Chapter 138
setting up and using your workstation
working in comfort and safety
Remember to occasionally shift position and move your body. Keeping your body in one position for long periods is unnatural and stressful. When prolonged work is required, take frequent short breaks. As a rule of thumb, a five or ten minute break every hour is a good idea. Short frequent breaks are more beneficial than longer less frequent breaks. Data show that people who work for long periods of time without a break may be more prone to ergonomic injury.
Changing tasks frequently will help prevent muscle stiffness. Examples:
alternating between keyboarding, reading, writing, filing, and moving around in your work environment, helps you maintain a relaxed posture. Occasionally stretch the muscles in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck and back. You should stretch at least as often as you take brief task breaks — at least once every hour.
Discomfort may be alleviated by using alternative ergonomic designs and
accessories such as ergonomically personalized chairs, palm rests, keyboard trays, alternative input devices, prescription eyeglasses, anti-glare screens, and more. Seek additional information from the sources available to you, including your employer, doctor, local office supply store, and the Information Sources listed in the online version of Working in Comfort, preloaded on the hard disk of your HP computing equipment or available on the HP web site:

pre-boot diagnostics audio signal

pre-boot diagnostics audio signal

When your workstation starts up, the BIOS performs Pre-Boot Diagnostics to test your hardware configuration for any problems. If a problem is detected during pre-boot, the Pre-Boot Diagnostics will emit an audio signal through the workstation’s internal speaker.
The Pre-Boot Diagnostics emits an audio sequence with two kinds of sounds. The first is an unusual series of tones that indicate an anomaly has been detected. This series of sounds also contains an electronic signal that can be sent through a telephone line to an authorized help desk or HP Support, if necessary. This signal cannot be interpreted by the human ear. However, it can be decoded by help desk equipment to extract the workstation model and serial number.
The second type of sound is a series of long beeps that indicate a particular error. If you hear a series of beeps, you should count them as this will help you detect the cause of the problem.

hp hardware warranty

Important: This is your hardware product warranty statement. Please, read it carefully.
Warranty terms may be different in your country. If so, your Authorized HP Dealer or Hewlett-Packard Sales and Service Office can give you details.
HP products may contain remanufactured parts equivalent to new in performance or may have been subject to incidental use.
HP products external to the system processor unit —such as external storage subsystems, displays, printers, and other peripherals— are covered by the applicable warranties for those products; HP software is covered by the HP Software Product Limited Warranty
FOR CONSUMER TRANSACTIONS IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND: THE WARRANTY TERMS CONTAINED IN THIS STATEMENT, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT LAWFULLY PERMITTED, DO NOT EXCLUDE, RESTRICT OR MODIFY AND ARE IN ADDITION TO THE MANDATORY STATUTORY RIGHTS APPLICABLE TO THE SALE OF THIS PRODUCT TO YOU.

three year limited hardware warranty

Hewlett-Packard (HP) warrants this hardware product against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of three years from receipt by the original end-user purchaser.
The three year warranty includes on-site service during the first year of use (free parts and labor), and parts service provided by an HP Service Center or a participating Authorized HP Computer Dealer Repair Center, during the second and third years of use.
If HP receives notice of above defined defects during the warranty period, HP will either, at its option, repair or replace products, which prove to be defective.
Should HP be unable to repair or replace the product within a reasonable amount of time, the customer's alternate exclusive remedy shall be a refund of the purchase price upon return of the product.
The system processor unit, keyboard, mouse, and Hewlett-Packard accessories inside the system processor unit —such as video adapters, mass storage devices, and interface controllers— are covered by this warranty.
This warranty is extended worldwide under certain conditions (please check with your local HP office) to products purchased from HP or an Authorized HP Computer Dealer which are reshipped by the original purchaser either for use by the original purchaser or provided as an incidental part of systems integrated by
62 AppendixA
warranty and regulatory information

the original purchaser. When available in the country of use, service is provided in the same manner as if the product was purchased in that country and can only be provided in countries where the product is designed to operate. If the product is not normally sold by HP in the country of use, it must be returned to the country of purchase for service. Response time for on-site service, and parts delivery turn-around time for parts service, are subject to changes from standard conditions based upon non-local parts availability.

limitation of warranty

The above warranty shall not apply to defects resulting from: misuse; unauthorized modification; operation or storage outside the environmental specifications for the product; in-transit damage; improper maintenance; or defects resulting from use of non-HP software, accessories, media, supplies, consumables, or such items not designed for use with the product.
Reloading the bundled or pre-loaded software on your Workstation is not covered by the HP warranty.
HP MAKES NO OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTY, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, WITH RESPECT TO THIS PRODUCT. ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS IS LIMITED TO THE THREE-YEAR DURATION OF THIS WRITTEN WARRANTY. SOME STATES OR PROVINCES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary, from state to state, or province to province.

limitation of liability and remedies

THE REMEDIES PROVIDED ABOVE ARE THE CUSTOMER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES. IN NO EVENT SHALL HP BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY.
The foregoing limitation of liability shall not apply in the event that any HP product sold hereunder is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be defective and to have directly caused bodily injury, death, or property damage; provided, that in no event shall HP's liability for property damage exceed the greater of $50,000 or the purchase price of the specific product that caused such damage.
Some states or provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages —including lost profit— so the above limitation or
Appendix A 63
warranty and regulatory information
hp hardware warranty
exclusion may not apply to you.

obtaining on-site warranty service

To obtain on-site warranty service, the customer must contact an HP Sales and Service Office (in the US, call the HP Customer Support Center at (970) 635-1000) or a participating Authorized HP Computer Dealer Repair Center. The customer must be prepared to supply proof of the purchase date.
The system processor unit, keyboard, mouse, and Hewlett-Packard accessories inside the system processor unit —such as video adapters, mass storage devices, and interface controllers— are covered by this warranty.
During the on-site warranty period, customer-replaceable components may be serviced through expedited part shipment. In this event, HP will prepay shipping charges, duty, and taxes; provide telephone assistance on replacement of the component when necessary; and pay shipping charges, duty, and taxes for any part that HP asks to be returned.
On-site visits caused by non-Hewlett-Packard products —whether internal or external to the system processor unit— are subject to standard per-incident travel and labor charges.
On-site service for this product is restricted or unavailable in certain locations. In HP Excluded Travel Areas— areas where geographical obstacles, undeveloped roads, or unsuitable public transportation prohibit routine travel— service is provided on a negotiated basis at extra charge.
Response time for HP on-site service in an HP Service Travel Area is normally next business day (excluding HP holidays) for HP Travel Zones 1-3 (generally 100 miles or 160 Km from the HP office). Response time is second business day for Zones 4 and 5 (200 miles, 320 Km); third business day for Zone 6 (300 miles, 480 Km); and negotiated beyond Zone 6. Worldwide Customer Support Travel information is available from any HP Sales and Service Office.
Travel restrictions and response time for dealer or distributor service are defined by the participating dealer or distributor.
Service contracts which provide after-hour or weekend coverage, faster response time, or service in an Excluded Travel Area are often available from HP, an authorized dealer, or authorized distributor at additional charge.

customer responsibilities

The customer may be required to run HP-supplied diagnostic programs before an on-site visit or replacement part will be dispatched.
The customer is responsible for the security of its proprietary and confidential information and for maintaining a procedure external to the products for

reconstruction of lost or altered files, data, or programs. The customer must provide: access to the product; adequate working space and
facilities within a reasonable distance of the product; access to and use of all information and facilities determined necessary by HP to service the product; and operating supplies and consumables such as the customer would use during normal operation.
A representative of the customer must be present at all times. The customer must state if the product is being used in an environment which poses a potential health hazard to repair personnel; HP or the servicing dealer may require that the product be maintained by customer personnel under direct HP or dealer supervision.

obtaining parts warranty service

When parts warranty service applies, the customer may be required to run HP-supplied diagnostic programs before a replacement part will be dispatched. The customer must be prepared to supply proof of purchase.
The customer shall return some defective parts upon HP demand. In that case, HP will prepay shipping charges for parts returned to the HP parts service center.

hp telephone support services

HP free telephone support for your Workstation is available during the first year from date of purchase. This service will also provide technical assistance with the basic configuration and setup of your HP Workstation and for the bundled or pre-loaded operating system.
