Thank you for purchasing an HP Compaq thin client. We hope you have years of use from our t5135 or  
t5530 thin clients. Our goal is to provide you with award-winning clients that are easy to deploy and  
manage with the power and reliability you expect.  
HP has partnered with Altiris to manage HP Compaq thin clients. Altiris Deployment Solution is a leading-  
edge tool to help with quick deployment and for ongoing management of the thin clients in your  
organization. Each HP Compaq thin client is recognized by the Altiris Deployment Solution as a  
supported device. As a result, you need not track license compliancy for each device. For additional  
information about the Altiris Deployment Solution tool, refer to the Altiris Deployment Solution insert that  
shipped with the thin client and the Deployment Solution User Guide that is available at  
The next sections describe the features of the thin client. For a complete list of the hardware and software  
installed on a specific model, visit http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/thinclients/index.html and  
search for a specific thin client model.  
The following features are common to all HP thin clients:  
no moving parts  
no hard drives or diskette drives  
5-minute setup time  
central deployment and management using Altiris Deployment Solution  
Various options are available for your thin client. For more information about available options, visit the
