2 USING YOUR PC  
This chapter gives important ergonomic advice, explains how to set a password, and shows  
how to use your CD-ROM drive.  
WORKING IN COMFORT  
Thank you for choosing Hewlett-Packard equipment. To maximize your comfort and  
productivity it is important that you set up and use your equipment properly. This section of the  
User’s Guide provides guidance and hints, based on the latest ergonomic findings, to help you  
work in a comfortable and ergonomically low-risk environment. Also, international regulations  
and guidelines are included from the European Community Display Screen Equipment  
directive and ISO 9241 to ensure that the information presented is applicable worldwide.  
Please be aware that the quoted dimensions are for an average person. They may need to be  
adjusted to your individual physical characteristics. For example: if you are an extra tall person,  
your work surface may need to be higher than the range listed. Prior to using any Hewlett-  
Packard equipment, study these instructions and suggestions and consult the bibliography at  
the end of this section. If, during use of this or any other equipment, you experience pain or  
discomfort, stop work and review this section of the User’s Guide. Should the discomfort return,  
discontinue use of the equipment and consult a doctor as soon as possible.  
REPETITIVE STRAIN INJURY  
Because your safety and comfort is our primary concern, we strongly recommend that our  
equipment be used in accordance with ergonomic standards and recommendations. Recent  
literature suggests that there may be a relationship between injury to soft tissues, especially in  
the hands and arms, and the prolonged use of keyboards or other equipment requiring  
repeated motions of the hands and forearms. Literature also suggests that there are many  
other risk factors which may increase the chance of such soft-tissue injury, commonly called  
Repetitive Strain Injury.  
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS  
What is RSI?  
Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI - also known as cumulative trauma disorder or repetitive motion  
injury) is a type of injury where soft tissue in the body, such as muscles, nerves, or tendons,  
become irritated or inflamed. In an extreme case, this irritation can lead to permanent tissue  
damage. RSI has been a reported problem for workers performing specific tasks such as  
assembly line work, meat packing, sewing, playing musical instruments, and VDT work. It may  
also result from other activities such as carpentry, knitting, housework, gardening, tennis, wind  
surfing, and lifting children.  
Why is it important for me to exercise care in how I set up and use my equipment?  
Some people who use VDTs experience physical discomfort during their use. Sometimes this  
discomfort leads to a repetitive strain injury. Setting up and using equipment properly can help  
to minimize this discomfort. Use your equipment in an appropriate way. Well-designed and  
adjusted equipment may not be sufficient to eliminate all potential problems. How you perform  
your VDT activities is also important.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
What causes RSI?  
RSI is caused by any demanding activity that exceeds the ability of the body to do work.  
Common factors that are associated with RSI include too many uninterrupted repetitions of an  
activity or motion, performing an activity in an awkward or unnatural posture, maintaining static  
posture for prolonged periods, failing to take frequent short breaks, and stress. Also, certain  
medical conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes may contribute to RSI.  
What should I do if I start to experience RSI symptoms or discomfort?  
By following the guidance on proper equipment and work environment set up and use, the risk  
of developing RSI can be minimized. However, if you are experiencing any discomfort, seek  
professional medical advice immediately. Typically, the earlier a problem is diagnosed and  
treated, the easier it may be to resolve.  
INSTALLING YOUR DISPLAY  
Most HP displays come with a tilt and swivel feature that makes it easy to adjust the screen  
position. If your display does not have this feature, consider acquiring an accessory to provide  
this capability. The optimum distance between the eyes and the screen depends on the size of  
the displayed characters.  
•
•
•
Optimum readability is generally considered to be 21 minutes of arc. This corresponds to a  
character size of 3.7 mm (0.15 in) at a viewing distance of 60 cm (24 in).  
If your eyes are closer to the screen than 50 cm (20 in) undue stress may occur: Most  
people prefer a viewing distance of approximately 60 cm (24 in).  
The maximum viewing distance is usually limited by the character size and the available  
space on the desk top.  
The top of your display screen should be at or slightly below eye level. This will keep you from  
looking down more than 15 to 20 degrees to see the center of the screen. You should not have  
to look down more than 60 degrees for normal work tasks, such as typing or reading.  
Ideally the screen should be positioned perpendicular to your line of sight. In case of  
undesirable reflections, tilting the screen forward slightly usually solves the problem. However,  
if this is not sufficient, it may be necessary to change the position of the display on the desk, or  
change the location of the desk.  
If this still does not correct the problem, try a good quality anti-glare filter, or a screen hood.  
Keep the contrast and brightness adjusted to the level that is most comfortable for you. High  
contrast and low brightness is usually the preferable combination. Since buildup of screen dirt  
is gradual and therefore often overlooked, don't forget to clean the screen on a regular basis.  
WHAT IS DISPLAYED ON THE SCREEN  
Text should be easy to read. To help ease eye strain, try to adjust text attributes to make  
reading the display as easy as possible (adjust such attributes as character size, spacing, and  
color).  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
NOTE  
The ISO 9241 and ANSI/HFS 100-1988 standards  
give ample technical recommendations on how to  
achieve good readability.  
If the image on your screen is not stable, the display may require repair or adjustment.  
When possible, use a program that has a simple "machine/user interface". Also, screen  
information should be displayed in a structured and well organized way.  
USING A DOCUMENT HOLDER  
A document holder may make it easier to transfer information from a document to the screen  
(or if you need to read while using your system).  
If using a document holder, it should be at the same distance from your eyes as the screen,  
next to the screen, and at the same height as the screen. An alternative location preferred by  
some people is to locate the document holder between the screen and keyboard.  
To help reduce stress on your neck and prevent eye fatigue, keep the back and forth  
movement of your head and eyes to a minimum while using a document holder.  
YOUR HP KEYBOARD  
Your HP keyboard has a long cable so you can place it in the position most comfortable for you  
while you are using the system.  
The keyboard has a low profile to prevent excessive bending of your wrists while typing.  
Literature suggests that you should not bend your wrists more than 10 degrees up or down, or  
more than 10 degrees sideways. Keep your wrists straight by moving your entire hand and  
forearm over to use the function keys or numeric keypad.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Your HP keyboard may have a kickstand which can be opened or closed to raise or lower the  
keyboard angle. If your elbows are at about the same level as the work surface, then you may  
choose not to use the kickstand. If your elbows are below the work surface, you may wish to  
raise the back of the keyboard by using the kickstand. The point is to make sure that your  
hands are in a "neutral" or flat position when you use the keyboard. This means that your  
forearms, wrists, and hands should be in straight line.  
You may use a wrist rest to help keep your wrists in a more comfortable and neutral position. If  
you use a wrist rest, ensure that it is flush in height with the front edge of the keyboard, and  
rounded or padded. Try not to rest your wrists on a sharp edge, such as a desk edge, when  
typing.  
It is recommended that you place your keyboard in front of the screen or document holder  
(whichever is viewed the most).  
If you use a mouse or trackball, position it close to the keyboard so you do not have to stretch  
while using it.  
It is not necessary to type with very much force. Use of too much force can place unnecessary  
stress on your body, including tendons and muscles in your hands, wrists, and forearms, and  
increase risk of discomfort or injury.  
YOUR DESK  
Sufficient desk space should be available to allow you to set up your equipment in a  
convenient, comfortable arrangement. Recommended workstation desk space is 160 by 80 by  
90 cm (63 by 32 to 36 inches). Depending on the nature of your work, you may need a smaller  
or larger work surface.  
To minimize reflections and glare (and thus eye discomfort), the surface of the desk should be  
non-reflective (matt).  
Ideally, the work top height should be adjustable. Recommended range is 66 to 77 cm (26 to 30  
inches). If the desk top height is fixed, it should be between 72 and 75 cm (28.5 to 29.5 inches).  
There should be at least 6 cm (2 inches) of space between your thighs and the desk top. If the  
desk has a "kneehole" it should be at least 58 cm (23 in) wide, 65 cm (25.5 in) high, and 60 cm  
(24 in) deep.  
If possible, choose a desk with cable management capabilities. This will keep your cables and  
wires orderly, off the floor, and out of the way.  
YOUR CHAIR  
Your chair should have a stable base (for example: five legs with casters). It is important that  
the casters be matched to the type of floor in your workspace (that is, hard surface or carpet).  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
The chair must provide a comfortable sitting position.  
•
•
You should be able to easily adjust the height. Minimum range should be 40 to 52 cm (15.5 to  
20.5 in) as measured from the floor.  
It should have a back support that is adjustable in both height and tilt (0 to 30 degrees  
backwards). It is important that your lower back be correctly supported (lumbar curve of the  
back).  
•
•
You should be able to freely swivel from side to side.  
The front of the seat should be curved (“waterfall” edge), and the chair fabric should be  
breathable.  
If your chair has armrests, they should be fully adjustable. The arms should not interfere with  
adjusting the chair or moving it close to the desk.  
Adjust the chair so that the work surface is at elbow height.  
If the chair has an adjustable seat pan, inclining the seat slightly forward will transfer some of  
the pressure from the spine to the thighs and feet. This will relieve spine fatigue.  
Adjust the angle of the

houses.)  
YOUR POSTURE  
While sitting at your workstation, your back should be erect or angled slightly backwards. Your  
back should be supported by the backrest.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Your arms should be relaxed and loose, elbows close to your sides, with the forearms and  
hands approximately parallel with the floor.  
Your wrists should be as straight as possible while using the keyboard, mouse, or trackball.  
They should not have to be bent upward, downward, or to either side more than 10 degrees.  
Your thighs should be horizontal or bent slightly downward. Your lower legs should be near a  
right angle to your thighs. Your feet should rest comfortably on the floor (flat). If necessary, use  
a footrest to get into a comfortable position.  
Your head should be upright or tilted slightly forward (but not more than 15 degrees).  
Avoid working with your head or trunk twisted in an unnatural position.  
Change your position frequently to avoid fatigue.  
YOUR WORKSPACE AND WORK ENVIRONMENT  
To prevent muscle stiffness, you must have enough space to move around and vary your  
position. Do not remain in one position for extended periods of time.  
For better eye relief, the ceiling, walls, and floors should have a medium level of reflectance  
(approximately 75%, 40%, and 30% respectively). Try to avoid excessive contrast between the  
screen and its surroundings.  
The work environment should be as quiet and free of distraction as possible (background noise  
preferably below 55 dBA).  
Where possible, relative air humidity should be in the range of 40 to 60%.  
The recommendation for room temperature is 19 to 23 degrees C (66 to 73 degrees F). If  
possible, adjust the temperature for whatever is comfortable to you.  
The workplace should be well ventilated (as with any indoor environment).  
LIGHTING  
Lighting in your area should allow easy reading of documents and keyboard legends.  
Recommended levels are:  
•
•
•
•
Not too bright. Values over 1000 lux (100 foot candles) are considered to be too bright.  
Recommended value is between 300 and 500 lux (30 to 50 foot candles).  
For work on the screen, 300 lux (30 foot candles) is enough for most work.  
When documents are to be read, 500 lux (50 foot candles) is recommended.  
If more light is needed for a particular task, use an individual lamp ("task lighting") rather than  
increasing the general lighting.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Incoming light should be shielded or diffused to prevent glare and distracting reflection. In  
cases where strong sunlight is a problem, curtains, adjustable shades, or display hoods are  
recommended.  
If possible, try not to position the display in front of windows where glare, high contrast, and  
reflections will interfere with your screen presentations. Try to position the display so the screen  
is at a right angle to the window.  
FURTHER SUGGESTIONS  
•
•
•
•
Have your eyes checked on a regular basis and ensure your eyeglass prescription is  
suitable for working on a display screen.  
Look away from the screen from time to time to help reduce eye strain. Focus on distant  
objects briefly. Also, blinking periodically helps lubricate the eyes.  
Avoid holding your muscles tensed for long periods of time. Keep your fingers and body  
relaxed.  
Changing tasks frequently will help prevent muscle stiffness. For example: alternating  
between using the keyboard, writing, filing, and moving around in your work environment,  
helps keep muscles loose.  
•
When prolonged screen 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 shows that people who work for long  
lengths of time without a break are more prone to injury.  
•
•
Occasionally stretch the muscles in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck and back. You  
should stretch at least as often as you take your breaks, that is, at least once per hour.  
Discomfort, if any, may be alleviated by use of alternative ergonomic designs and  
accessories such as: ergonomic personalized chairs, wrist rests, keyboard trays,  
alternative input devices, non-prescription eye glasses, glare screens, and more. Seek  
additional information from the sources available to you, including your employer, doctor,  
local office supply store, and the bibliography provided at the end of this section.  
•
If you experience any discomfort, discontinue use and see a doctor as soon as possible. If  
you want additional information on VDT setup, ergonomics and related topics, consult your  
employer and the sources listed at the end of this section.

IF THE DATE AND TIME ARE INCORRECT  
The date and time can be incorrect for the following reasons:  
•
•
the time has changed for the seasons  
the PC has been unplugged from the power too long, and the Gold Capacitor which  
supplies power to the CMOS memory has discharged.  
Use the Setup program to change the date and time.  
IF YOUR PC HAS AN AUDIO PROBLEM  
No Sound When Running Any Applications  
First, check that the output volume is not set to zero. Use the volume control on the front panel.  
Make sure the headphones are not connected directly to the CD-ROM drive (see the  
connection information in chapter 1).  
Remember also that plugging the headphones into the front panel cuts out sound to the internal  
speaker and to external speakers connected to the audio Stereo Out jack.  
When your PC starts up, the integrated audio interface may have no IRQ or DMA settings.  
These settings are initialized by software upon startup. Your system files may not have the  
necessary entries. Run the Setup program to configure the IRQ and DMA settings.  
Absence of sound can also be caused by a hardware conflict. Hardware conflicts occur when  
two or more peripheral devices compete for the same signal lines or channels. Conflicts  
between your audio interface and another peripheral device might be due to the settings of the  
I/O addresses, IRQ channel, or DMA channel. To resolve the conflict, change the settings  
either of the audio interface or of any other ISA accessory in your system.  
No Output from the 8-bit or 16-bit Digitized Sounds  
This might be due to the DMA channel selected. If you hear no output from both the 8-bit and  
16-bit digitized sounds, this might be due to an interrupt conflict. Use the HP Setup program or  
your operating system’s audio control software to change the audio interface’s DMA channel or  
IRQ setting.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
The Volume is Too Low  
The computer has two output jacks, Stereo Out on the rear of the computer and a headphones  
jack on the front panel, which provide the same output signal. This is a low-distortion output  
that cannot drive (without amplification) low-impedance devices such as speakers. If you plug  
devices with a low-impedance (less than 32 ohms) into the Stereo Out jack or the headphones  
jack, the volume will be low.  
Audio Input from the Microphone is Too Low, or No Audio At All  
Check that the microphone specifications meet the requirements of the 16-bit sound  
components. The microphone should be a 600-ohm dynamic type.  
Humming Noise  
If the power grounding of your audio components is inadequate, a humming noise may be  
generated. This may happen if your PC is connected to a hi-fi system. Plug all devices into  
adjacent power outlets (outlets within 5 cm / 2 inches of each other), or use line filters.  
Occasional Crackles When Playing Back Sounds  
These crackles are usually the result of your PC being unable to transfer audio samples within  
the required time. A solution is to use a lower sampling rate. Recording and playing back at 22  
kHz is less demanding upon system resources than recording audio at 44 kHz.  
The PC Hangs While Recording  
Uncompressed digital audio can eventually fill your hard disk. For example, one minute of  
stereo sound recorded at a resolution of 44 kHz will occupy about 10.5 MB. Before recording,  
check that there is enough free space on your hard disk.  
Data compression can reduce the space required. The A-law and m-law hardware compression  
used by the audio interface enables the sampling of sound at a resolution of 16-bits, but it  
generates the same quantity of data as an 8-bit sample.  
MS-DOS Games Give “Not enough memory” Errors  
Many games require a large amount of base memory and may not execute if many drivers or  
TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident) programs are installed. You may solve this problem by  
loading device drivers and TSRs into high memory. Refer to your MS-DOS manual for details  
of how to do this.  
IF THE CD-ROM DRIVE HAS A PROBLEM  
Check that the software is correctly installed and the system correctly configured before  
removing your computer’s cover to check the CD-ROM cable connections and jumper settings.  
No Sound from the CD-ROM Drive

Initiate Sync Negotiation  
Some older SCSI-1 devices do not support synchronous negotiation. Set Initiate Sync  
Negotiation to No for these devices.  
Maximum Sync Transfer Rate  
Certain older SCSI-1 devices do not support Fast SCSI data transfer rates (typically 10.0,  
8.0, and 6.7). Select a Maximum Sync Transfer Rate of 5.0 for these devices.  
Enable Disconnection  
To optimize SCSI bus performance, Enable Disconnection should be set to Yes when two  
or more SCSI devices are connected to the host adapter. Set Enable Disconnection to No  
to achieve slightly better performance when only one SCSI device is connected to the  
SCSI bus.  
•
•
Send Start Unit Command  
This option is not supported by some SCSI devices. Some SCSI devices require a jumper  
to be changed before they can respond to this command.  
When set to Yes this option reduces the load on your computer’s power supply by allowing  
the interface to power-up SCSI devices one-at-a-time when you start your computer.  
When set to No each SCSI device powers up at the same time.  
Include in BIOS Scan  
When this option is set to Yes the interface BIOS supports devices attached to the SCSI  
bus without the need for device driver software. This option is valid only if the interface  
BIOS is enabled.

SCSI Bus Reset at Interface Initialization  
SCSI Bus Reset at Interface Initialization should always be enabled. When set to Enabled  
(and the interface BIOS is enabled), the SCSI bus is reset the first time the interface is  
initialized and the host adapter waits two seconds before scanning the SCSI bus for SCSI  
devices. There is no two second delay when Disabled is selected.  
•
•
Interface BIOS  
The Interface BIOS is enabled by default.  
Support Removable Disks Under BIOS as Fixed Disks  
When Boot Only is selected, only the removable media drive designated as the boot  
device is treated as a hard disk drive.  
If All Disks is selected, all removable-media drives supported by the BIOS are treated as  
hard disk drives.  
No removable-media drives are treated as hard disk drives when Disabled is selected.  
•
•
Extended BIOS Translation for DOS Drives >1 GByte  
This option is enabled by default with the following translation schemes:  
•
•
SCSI hard disks < 1 GByte use a translation scheme of 64 heads, 32 sectors per track  
SCSI hard disks > 1 GByte use a translation scheme of 255 heads, 63 sectors per  
track.  
BIOS Support for More Than 2 Drives  
This option is only available if the interface BIOS is enabled. It lets you enable or disable  
BIOS support for between two to eight SCSI hard disk drives. This feature is supported by  
DOS 5.0 and above.  
SCSI Disk Utilities  
When the SCSI Disk Utilities are selected from the Options menu, the SCSISelect utility scans  
the SCSI bus and lists all the SCSI devices on the SCSI bus. Use the ↑ and ↓ keys to  
highlight a device and press [ENTER] to display the Format Disk/Verify Media menu.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
•
•
Format Disk  
This utility can be used to perform a low-level format of a hard disk. Most SCSI disks are  
preformatted and do not need low-level formatting.  
Verify Disk Media  
This utility scans for media defects on the selected SCSI device. Press the [ESC] key to  
abort this utility.  
IF THE SCSI HARD DISK STOPS WORKING  
If the SCSI subsystem has been operating properly for a reasonable length of time, and if no  
specific errors appear on the display, the problem may be due to equipment failure. The  
problem may also be due to some recent change you have made to the system.  
1
If you have made recent changes to the software, such as changes to configuration files or  
drivers, this could cause the problem. Refer to the software documentation for more  
information.  
2
If you have installed a board, ensure there is not a resource conflict between the new  
board you have added and existing boards. If you have changed the options on an existing  
board there may be a resource conflict:  
a
Remove the new board and restart the computer. If this corrects the problem, the  
board is either defective, or it is trying to use a system resource used by the SCSI  
subsystem. Change the board’s settings as needed.  
b
Check that the new board is not using memory, I/O addresses, an IRQ, or DMA also  
used by the SCSI subsystem. Refer to the board’s and SCSI subsystem manuals for  
more information.  
3
4
Check the SCSI cable for problems that may have been caused by recent computer  
maintenance, hardware upgrades, or physical damage.  
If you suspect hardware failure and there are no system error messages, check each  
component associated with the failure. Equipment failure, however, is the most unlikely  
reason for a SCSI subsystem failure.  
IF YOU LOSE THE KEY  
If you lose the key to the PC, you need to order a replacement lock (HP part number 5062-  
5590) from the HP dealer or HP Sales and Service Office. The new lock is delivered with two  
keys. Contact your HP dealer for installing the new lock.

280 W  
Off  
< 3 W*  
* The power supply in your Vectra PC  
continues to supply power to the CMOS  
memory, even when switched off.  
NOTE  
When the PC is turned off with the power button on  
the front panel, the power consumption falls below 5  
Watts, but is not zero. The special on/off method  
used by this PC considerably extends the lifetime of  
the power supply. To reach zero power consumption  
in “off” mode, either unplug the PC from the power  
outlet or use a power block with a switch. You should  
be aware that, in this case, the PC will lose its time  
settings within a few days.

RECYCLING YOUR PC  
HP has a strong commitment toward the environment. Your HP Personal Computer has been  
designed to respect the environment as much as possible.  
HP can also take your old PC back for recycling when it reaches the end of its useful life.  
HP has a product take-back program in several countries. The collected equipment is sent to  
one of HP’s recycling facilities in Europe or the USA. As many parts as possible are reused.  
The remainder is recycled. Special care is taken for batteries and other potentially toxic  
substances, which are reduced into non-harmful components through a special chemical  
process.  
If you require more details about HP’s product take-back program, contact your dealer or your  
nearest HP Sales Office.

advised to contact your HP reseller to purchase a network phone-in support contract, which will  
provide you with a fee-based telephone support service.

recommends that you make a set of master diskettes  
of this software as soon as possible after receiving

HP HARDWARE WARRANTY  
IMPORTANT This is your hardware product warranty statement. 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.  
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, and return service  
provided by an HP Service Center or a participating Authorized HP Personal 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.  
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.  
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.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
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 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 (303) 635-1000) or a participating  
Authorized HP Personal Computer Dealer Repair Center and arrange for on-site repair of the  
product. The customer must be prepared to supply proof of the purchase date.  
This warranty is extended worldwide to products purchased from HP or an Authorized HP  
Personal 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 the original  
purchaser. Service is provided in the same manner as if the product was purchased in the  
country of use 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.  
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.  
Customer-replaceable components–such as the keyboard or mouse–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; and pay shipping charges,  
duty, and taxes for any part that HP asks to be returned.  
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.  
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.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
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.  
For on-site service, 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.  
When service is being performed on-site, 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 Return Warranty Service  
When return warranty service applies, the product must be returned to a service facility  
designated by HP. Customer must enclose a copy of a document proving date of purchase.  
The customer shall prepay shipping charges (and shall pay all duty and taxes) for products  
returned to HP for warranty service. HP shall pay for return of products to the customer except  
for products returned to the customer from another country.  
HP products may contain remanufactured parts equivalent to new in performance or may have  
been subject to incidental use.
