4 Removal and replacement procedures  
preliminary requirements  
Tools required  
You will need the following tools to complete the removal and replacement procedures:  
Flat-bladed screwdriver  
Magnetic screwdriver  
Phillips P0 and P1 screwdrivers  
Service considerations  
The following sections include some of the considerations that you must keep in mind during disassembly  
and assembly procedures.  
NOTE: As you remove each subassembly from the computer, place the subassembly (and all accompanying  
screws) away from the work area to prevent damage.  
Plastic parts  
CAUTION: Using excessive force during disassembly and reassembly can damage plastic parts. Use care  
when handling the plastic  
Tools required 25  
       
Cables and connectors  
CAUTION: When servicing the computer, be sure that cables are placed in their proper locations during the  
reassembly process. Improper cable placement can damage the computer.  
Cables must be handled with extreme care to avoid damage. Apply only the tension required to unseat or seat  
the cables during removal and insertion. Handle cables by the connector whenever possible. In all cases, avoid  
bending, twisting, or tearing cables. Be sure that cables are routed in such a way that they cannot be caught  
or snagged by parts being removed or replaced. Handle flex cables with extreme care; these cables tear  
easily.  
Drive handling  
CAUTION: Drives are fragile components that must be handled with care. To prevent damage to the  
computer, damage to a drive, or loss of information, observe these precautions:  
Before removing or inserting a hard drive, shut down the computer. If you are unsure whether the computer is  
off or in Hibernation, turn the computer on, and then shut it down through the operating system.  
Before handling a drive, be sure that you are discharged of static electricity. While handling a drive, avoid  
touching the connector.  
Before removing a diskette drive or optical drive, be sure that a diskette or disc is not in the drive and be sure  
that the optical drive tray is closed.  
Handle drives on surfaces covered with at least one inch of shock-proof foam.  
Avoid dropping drives from any height onto any surface.  
Avoid exposing an internal hard drive to products that have magnetic fields, such as monitors or speakers.  
Avoid exposing an internal hard drive to products that have magnetic fields, such as monitors or speakers.  
Avoid exposing a drive to temperature extremes or liquids.  
If a drive must be mailed, place the drive in a bubble pack mailer or other suitable form of protective  
packaging and label the package “FRAGILE.”  
26 Chapter 4 Removal and replacement procedures preliminary requirements  
   
Grounding guidelines  
Electrostatic discharge damage  
Electronic components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Circuitry design and structure determine  
the degree of sensitivity. Networks built into many integrated circuits provide some protection, but in many  
cases, ESD contains enough power to alter device parameters or melt silicon junctions.  
A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor can destroy static-sensitive devices or  
microcircuitry. Even if the spark is neither felt nor heard, damage may have occurred.  
An electronic device exposed to ESD may not be affected at all and can work perfectly throughout a normal  
cycle. Or the device may function normally for a while, then degrade in the internal layers, reducing its life  
expectancy.  
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the computer when you are removing or installing internal components,  
observe these precautions:  
Keep components in their electrostatic-safe containers until you are ready to install them.  
Before touching an electronic component, discharge static electricity by using the guidelines described in this  
section.  
Avoid touching pins, leads, and circuitry. Handle electronic components as little as possible.  
If you remove a component, place it in an electrostatic-safe container.  
The following table shows how humidity affects the electrostatic voltage levels generated by different  
activities.  
CAUTION: A product can be degraded by as little as 700 V.

Packaging and transporting guidelines  
Follow these grounding guidelines when packaging and transporting equipment:  
To avoid hand contact, transport products in static-safe tubes, bags, or boxes.  
Protect ESD-sensitive parts and assemblies with conductive or approved containers or packaging.  
Keep ESD-sensitive parts in their containers until the parts arrive at static-free workstations.  
Place items on a grounded surface before removing items from their containers.  
Always be properly grounded when touching a component or assembly.  
Store reusable ESD-sensitive parts from assemblies in protective packaging or nonconductive foam.  
Use transporters and conveyors made of antistatic belts and roller bushings. Be sure that mechanized  
equipment used for moving materials is wired to ground and that proper materials are selected to avoid  
static charging. When grounding is not possible, use an ionizer to dissipate electric charges.  
Workstation guidelines  
Follow these grounding workstation guidelines:  
Cover the workstation with approved static-shielding material.  
Use a wrist strap connected to a properly grounded work surface and use properly grounded tools and  
equipment.  
Use conductive field service tools, such as cutters, screwdrivers, and vacuums.  
When fixtures must directly contact dissipative surfaces, use fixtures made only of static safe materials.  
Keep the work area free of nonconductive materials, such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and  
Styrofoam.  
Handle ESD-sensitive components, parts, and assemblies by the case or PCM laminate. Handle these  
items only at static-free workstations.  
Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.  
Turn off power and input signals before inserting or removing connectors or test equipment.  
28 Chapter 4 Removal and replacement procedures preliminary requirements  
   
Equipment guidelines  
Grounding equipment must include either a wrist strap or a foot strap at a grounded workstation.  
When seated, wear a wrist strap connected to a grounded system. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a  
minimum of one megohm ±10% resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear a strap  
snugly against the skin at all times. On grounded mats with banana-plug connectors, use alligator clips  
to connect a wrist strap.  
When standing, use foot straps and a grounded floor mat. Foot straps (heel, toe, or boot straps) can be  
used at standing workstations and are compatible with most types of shoes or boots. On conductive  
floors or dissipative floor mats, use foot straps on both feet with a minimum of one megohm resistance  
between the operator and ground. To be effective, the conductive must be worn in contact with the skin.  
The following grounding equipment is recommended to prevent electrostatic damage:  
Antistatic tape  
Antistatic smocks, aprons, and sleeve protectors  
Conductive bins and other assembly or soldering aids  
Nonconductive foam  
Conductive tabletop workstations with ground cords of one megohm resistance  
Static-dissipative tables or floor mats with hard ties to the ground  
Field service kits  
Static awareness labels  
Material-handling packages  
Nonconductive plastic bags, tubes, or boxes  
Metal tote boxes

During the system validation phase that occurs at system startup, the BIOS validates the functionality of the  
following subsystems and conditions:  
AC adapter  
System board power  
Processor failure  
BIOS corruption  
Memory failure  
Graphics failure  
System board failure  
BIOS authentication failure  
If an error is detected, specific patterns of long and short blinks, accompanied by long and short beeps (where  
applicable) are used to identify the error. These patterns will make up a two part code:  
Major – the category of the error  
Minor – the specific error within the category

Patterns of blink/beep codes are determined by using the following parameters:  
1 second pause occurs after the last major blink.  
2 second pause occurs after the last minor blink.  
Beep error code sequences occur for the first 5 iterations of the pattern and then stop.  
Blink error code sequences continue until the computer is unplugged or the power button is pressed.  
NOTE: Not all diagnostic lights and audible codes are available on all models.

70% charged before you start the recovery process.  
IMPORTANT: For a tablet with a detachable keyboard, connect the keyboard to the keyboard dock before  
beginning any recovery process.  
Creating recovery media and backups  
The following methods of creating recovery media and backups are available on select products only. Choose  
the available method according to your computer model.  
Use HP Recovery Manager to create HP Recovery media after you successfully set up the computer. This  
step creates a backup of the HP Recovery partition on the computer. The backup can be used to reinstall  
the original operating system in cases where the hard drive is corrupted or has been replaced. For  
information on creating recovery media, see Creating HP Recovery media (select products only)  
on page 77. For information on the recovery options that are available using the recovery media, see  
Use Windows tools to create system restore points and create backups of personal information.  
NOTE: If storage is 32 GB or less, Microsoft System Restore is disabled by default.  
Creating HP Recovery media (select products only)  
If possible, check for the presence of the Recovery partition and the Windows partition. From the Start menu,  
select File Explorer, and then select This PC.  
If your computer does not list the Windows partition and the Recovery partition, you can obtain recovery  
media for your system from support. See the Worldwide Telephone Numbers booklet included with the  
computer. You can also find contact information on the HP website. Go to http://www.hp.com/support,  
select your country or region, and follow the on-screen instructions.  
Creating recovery media and backups 77  
           
You can use Windows tools to create system restore points and create backups of personal information,  
If your computer does list the Recovery partition and the Windows partition, you can use HP Recovery  
Manager to create recovery media after you successfully set up the computer. HP Recovery media can be  
used to perform system recovery if the hard drive becomes corrupted. System recovery reinstalls the  
original operating system and software programs that were installed at the factory and then configures  
the settings for the programs. HP Recovery media can also be used to customize the system or restore  
the factory image if you replace the hard drive.  
Only one set of recovery media can be created. Handle these recovery tools carefully, and keep  
them in a safe place.  
HP Recovery Manager examines the computer and determines the required storage capacity for  
the media that will be required.  
To create recovery discs, your computer must have an optical drive with DVD writer capability, and  
you must use only high-quality blank DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-R DL, or DVD+R DL discs. Do not use  
rewritable discs such as CD±RW, DVD±RW, double-layer DVD±RW, or BD-RE (rewritable Blu-ray)  
discs; they are not compatible with HP Recovery Manager software. Or, instead, you can use a high-  
quality blank USB flash drive.  
If your computer does not include an integrated optical drive with DVD writer capability, but you  
would like to create DVD recovery media, you can use an external optical drive (purchased  
separately) to create recovery discs. If you use an external optical drive, it must be connected  
directly to a USB port on the computer; the drive cannot be connected to a USB port on an external  
device, such as a USB hub. If you cannot create DVD media yourself, you can obtain recovery discs  
for your computer from HP. See the Worldwide Telephone Numbers booklet included with the  
computer. You can also find contact information on the HP website. Go to http://www.hp.com/  
support, select your country or region, and follow the on-screen instructions.  
Be sure that the computer is connected to AC power before you begin creating the recovery media.  
The creation process can take an hour or more. Do not interrupt the creation process.  
If necessary, you can exit the program before you have finished creating all of the recovery DVDs.  
HP Recovery Manager will finish burning the current DVD. The next time you start HP Recovery  
Manager, you will be prompted to continue.

13 Statement of memory volatility  
The purpose of this chapter is to provide general information regarding nonvolatile memory in HP Business  
PCs. This chapter also provides general instructions for restoring nonvolatile memory that can contain  
personal data after the system has been powered off and the hard drive has been removed.  
HP Business PC products that use Intel®-based or AMD®-based system boards contain volatile DDR memory.  
The amount of nonvolatile memory present in the system depends upon the system configuration. Intel-  
based and AMD-based system boards contain nonvolatile memory subcomponents as originally shipped from  
HP, assuming that no subsequent modifications have been made to the system and assuming that no  
applications, features, or functionality have been added to or installed on the system.  
Following system shutdown and removal of all power sources from an HP Business PC system, personal data  
can remain on volatile system memory (DIMMs) for a finite period of time and will also remain in nonvolatile  
memory. Use the steps below to remove personal data from the PC, including the nonvolatile memory found  
in Intel-based and AMD-based system boards.

Questions and answers  
1. How can the BIOS settings be restored (returned to factory settings)?  
IMPORTANT: Restore defaults does not securely erase any data on your hard drive. See question and  
answer 6 for steps to securely erase data.  
Restore defaults does not reset the Custom Secure Boot keys. See question and answer 7 for  
information about resetting the keys.  
a. Turn on or restart the computer, and then press esc while the “Press the ESC key for Startup Menu”  
message is displayed at the bottom of the screen.  
b. Select Main, and then select Restore defaults.  
c. Follow the on-screen instructions.  
d. Select Main, select Save Changes and Exit, and then follow the on-screen instructions.  
2. What is a UEFI BIOS, and how is it different from a legacy BIOS?  
The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) BIOS is an industry-standard software interface  
between the platform firmware and an operating system (OS). It is a replacement for the older BIOS  
architecture, but supports much of the legacy BIOS functionality.  
Like the legacy BIOS, the UEFI BIOS provides an interface to display the system information and  
configuration settings and to change the configuration of your computer before an OS is loaded. BIOS  
provides a secure run-time environment that supports a Graphic User Interface (GUI). In this  
environment, you can use either a pointing device (Touchscreen, TouchPad, pointing stick, or USB  
mouse) or the keyboard to navigate and make menu and configuration selections. The UEFI BIOS also  
contains basic system diagnostics.  
The UEFI BIOS provides functionality beyond that of the legacy BIOS. In addition, the UEFI BIOS works to  
initialize the computer’s hardware before loading and executing the OS; the run-time environment  
allows the loading and execution of software programs from storage devices to provide more  
functionality, such as advanced hardware diagnostics (with the ability to display more detailed system  
information) and advanced firmware management and recovery software.  
HP has provided options in Computer Setup (BIOS) to allow you to run in legacy BIOS, if required by the  
operating system. Examples of this requirement would be if you upgrade or downgrade the OS.  
3. Where does the UEFI BIOS reside?  
The UEFI BIOS resides on a flash memory chip. A utility is required to write to the chip.  
4. What kind of configuration data is stored on the DIMM Serial Presence Detect (SPD) memory  
module? How would this data be written?  
The DIMM SPD memory contains information about the memory module, such as size, serial number,  
data width, speed/timing, voltage, and thermal information. This information is written by the module  
manufacturer and stored on an EEPROM. This EEPROM cannot be written to when the memory module is  
installed in a PC. Third-party tools do exist that can write to the EEPROM when the memory module is  
not installed in a PC. Various third-party tools are available to read SPD memory.  
5. What is meant by “Restore the nonvolatile memory found in Intel-based system boards”?  
This message relates to clearing the Real Time Clock (RTC) CMOS memory that contains PC configuration  
data.  
6. How can the BIOS security be reset to factory defaults and data erased?  
90 Chapter 13 Statement of memory volatility  
 
IMPORTANT: Resetting will result in the loss of information.  
These steps will not reset Custom Secure Boot Keys. See question and answer 7 for information about  
resetting the keys.  
a. Turn on or restart the computer, and then press esc while the “Press the ESC key for Startup Menu”  
message is displayed at the bottom of the screen.  
b. Select Main, and then select Reset BIOS Security to Factory Default.  
c. Follow the on-screen instructions.  
d. Select Main, select Save Changes and Exit, and then follow the on-screen instructions.  
7. How can the Custom Secure Boot Keys be reset?  
Secure Boot is a feature to ensure that only authenticated code can start on a platform. If you enabled  
Secure Boot and created Custom Secure Boot Keys, simply disabling Secure Boot will not clear the keys.  
You must also select to clear the Custom Secure Boot Keys. Use the same Secure Boot access procedure  
you used to create the Custom Secure Boot Keys, but make the selection to clear or delete all Secure  
Boot Keys.  
a. Turn on or restart the computer, and then press esc while the “Press the ESC key for Startup Menu”  
message is displayed at the bottom of the screen.  
b. Select the Security menu, select Secure Boot Configuration, and then follow the on-screen  
instructions.  
c. At the Secure Boot Configuration window, select Secure Boot, select Clear Secure Boot Keys, and  
then follow the on-screen instructions to continue.  
Using HP Sure Start (select models only)  
Select computer models are configured with HP Sure Start, a technology that continuously monitors your  
computer's BIOS for attacks or corruption. If the BIOS becomes corrupted or is attacked, HP Sure Start  
restores the BIOS to its previously safe state, without user intervention. Those select computer models ship  
with HP Sure Start configured and enabled. HP Sure Start is configured and already enabled so that most  
users can use the HP Sure Start default configuration. The default configuration can be customized by  
advanced users.  
To access the latest documentation on HP Sure Start, go to http://www.hp.com/support, and select your  
country. Select Drivers & Downloads, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
