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
search for a specific thin client model.
The following features are common to all HP thin clients:
no moving parts

5 Mounting the thin client
HP Quick Release
The HP Compaq t5135/t5530 thin client incorporates four mounting points on each side of the unit.
These mounting points follow the VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) standard, which
provides industry-standard mounting interfaces for Flat Displays (FDs), such as flat panel monitors, flat
displays, and flat TVs. The HP Quick Release connects to the VESA-standard mounting points, allowing
you to mount the thin client in a variety of orientations.
NOTE When mounting, use the 10 mm screws supplied with the Quick Release Kit.
Figure 5-1 HP Quick Release
To order this option, visit the HP Web site at http://h30143.www3.hp.com/configure2.cfm
18 Chapter 5 Mounting the thin client
ENWW
To use the HP Quick Release with a VESA-configured thin client:
1. Using four 10 mm screws included in the mounting device kit, attach one side of the HP Quick
Release to the thin client as shown in the following illustration.
Figure 5-2 Connecting the HP Quick Release to the thin client
2. Using four screws included in the mounting device kit, attach the other side of the HP Quick Release
to the device to which you will mount the thin client. Make sure the release lever points upward.
Figure 5-3 Connecting the HP Quick Release to another device
ENWW
HP Quick Release 19
3. Slide the side of the mounting device attached to the thin client (1) over the other side of the
mounting device (2) on the device on which you want to mount the thin client. An audible 'click'
indicates a secure connection.
Figure 5-4 Connecting the thin client
NOTE When attached, the HP Quick Release automatically locks in position. You only need to
slide the lever to one side to remove the thin client.
CAUTION To ensure proper function of the HP Quick Release and a secure connection of all
components, make sure both the release lever on one side of the mounting device and the
rounded opening on the other side face upward.
Supported mounting options
The following illustrations demonstrate some of the supported and not supported mounting options for
the mounting bracket.

6 Thin client operation
Routine thin client care
Use the following information to properly care for your thin client:
Never operate the thin client with the outside panel removed.
●
●
Keep the thin client away from excessive moisture, direct sunlight, and extreme heat and cold. For
information about the recommended temperature and humidity ranges for the thin client, see
Keep liquids away from the thin client and keyboard.
●
●
Turn off the thin client and wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth as needed. Using cleaning
products may discolor or damage the finish.
Supported orientations
HP supports the following orientations for the thin client.
CAUTION You must adhere to HP-supported orientations to ensure your thin clients function
properly.
You can place the thin client vertically using the supplied stand.
●

7 Electrostatic discharge
A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other
static-sensitive 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.
26 Chapter 7 Electrostatic discharge
ENWW
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 Thin Client chassis. Wrist straps are
flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm +/- 10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To
provide proper grounding, 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 floors or dissipating floor mats.
Use conductive field service tools.
●
●
Use a portable field 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 about static electricity, contact an HP authorized dealer, reseller,
or service provider.

8 Shipping information
Shipping preparation
Follow these suggestions when preparing to ship the thin client:
1. Turn off the thin client and external devices.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet, then from the thin client.
3. Disconnect the system components and external devices from their power sources, then from the
thin client.
4. Pack the system components and external devices in their original packing boxes or similar
packaging with sufficient packing material to protect them.
Important service repair information
In all cases, remove and safeguard all external options before returning the thin client to HP for repair
or exchange.
In countries that support customer mail-in repair by returning the same unit to the customer, HP makes
every effort to return the repaired unit with the same internal memory and flash modules that were sent.
In countries that do not support customer mail-in repair by returning the same unit to the customer, all
internal options should be removed and safeguarded in addition to the external options. The thin client
should be restored to the original configuration before returning it to HP for repair.
