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.  
After removing a hard drive, an optical drive, or a diskette drive, place it in a static-proof bag.  
Avoid exposing a 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.”

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.  
Use nonmagnetic tools.  
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.

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 strips 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

7 Backup and recovery  
Recovery after a system failure is as complete as your most current backup. HP recommends that you  
create recovery discs immediately after software setup. As you add new software and data files, you  
should continue to back up your system on a regular basis to maintain a reasonably current backup.  
Tools provided by the operating system and HP Recovery Manager software are designed to help you  
with the following tasks for safeguarding your information and restoring it in case of a system failure:  
Creating a set of recovery discs (Recovery Manager software feature). Recovery discs are used to  
start up (boot) your computer and restore the operating system and software programs to factory  
settings in case of system failure or instability.  
Backing up your information regularly to protect your important system files.  
Creating system restore points (operating system feature). System restore points allow you to  
reverse undesirable changes to your computer by restoring the computer to an earlier state.  
Recovering a program or driver (Recovery Manager software feature). This feature helps you  
reinstall a program or driver without performing a full system recovery.  
Performing a full system recovery (Recovery Manager software feature). With Recovery Manager,  
you can recover your full factory image if you experience system failure or instability. Recovery  
Manager works from a dedicated recovery partition (select models only) on the hard drive or from  
recovery discs you create.  
NOTE: Computers with a solid-state drive (SSD) may not have a recovery partition. Recovery  
discs have been included for computers that do not have a partition. Use these discs to recover  
your operating system and software. To check for the presence of a recovery partition, click Start,  
right-click Computer, click Manage, and then click Disk Management. If the partition is  
present, an HP Recovery drive is listed in the window.

Creating recovery discs  
HP recommends that you create recovery discs to be sure that you can restore your system to its original  
factory state if you experience serious system failure or instability. Create these discs after setting up the  
computer for the first time.  
Handle these discs carefully and keep them in a safe place. The software allows the creation of only  
one set of recovery discs.  
NOTE: If your computer does not include an integrated optical drive, you can use an optional  
external optical drive (purchased separately) to create recovery discs, or you can purchase recovery  
discs for your computer from the HP Web site.  
Note the following guidelines before creating recovery discs:  
You will need high-quality DVD-R, DVD+R, BD-R (writable Blu-ray), or CD-R discs. All these discs  
are purchased separately. DVDs and BDs have a much higher capacity than CDs. If you use CDs,  
up to 20 discs may be required, whereas only a few DVDs or BDs are required.  
NOTE: Read-write discs, such as CD-RW, DVD RW, double-layer DVD RW, and BD-RE  
(rewritable Blu-ray) discs, are not compatible with the Recovery Manager software.  
The computer must be connected to AC power during this process.  
Only one set of recovery discs can be created per computer.  
Number each disc before inserting it into the optical drive.  
If necessary, you can exit the program before you have finished creating the recovery discs. The  
next time you open Recovery Manager, you will be prompted to continue the disc creation  
process.  
To create a set of recovery discs:  
1. Select Start > All Programs > Recovery Manager > Recovery Disc Creation.  
2. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Backing up your information  
As you add new software and data files, you should back up your system on a regular basis to  
maintain a reasonably current backup. Back up your system at the following times:  
At regularly scheduled times  
NOTE: Set reminders to back up your information periodically.  
Before the computer is repaired or restored  
Before you add or modify hardware or software  
Note the following when backing up:  
Create system restore points using the Windows System Restore feature, and periodically copy  
them to disc.  
Store personal files in the Documents library and back up this folder periodically.  
Back up templates stored in their associated programs.  
Save customized settings in a window, toolbar, or menu bar by taking a screen shot of your  
settings. The screen shot can be a time-saver if you have to reset your preferences.  
To copy the screen and paste it into a word-processing document, follow these steps:  
1. Display the screen.  
2. Copy the screen:  
To copy only the active window, press alt+prt sc.  
To copy the entire screen, press prt sc.  
3. Open a word-processing document, and then select Edit > Paste.  
4. Save the document.  
You can back up your information to an optional external hard drive, a network drive, or discs.  
When backing up to discs, use any of the following types of discs (purchased separately): CD-R,  
CD-RW, DVD+R, DVD-R, or DVD RW. The discs you use will depend on the type of optical drive  
installed in your computer.  
NOTE: DVDs store more information than CDs, so using them for backup reduces the number of  
recovery discs required.  
When backing up to discs, number each disc before inserting it into the optical drive of the  
computer.

Using Windows Backup and Restore  
To create a backup using Windows Backup and Restore, follow these steps:  
NOTE: Be sure that the computer is connected to AC power before you start the backup process.  
NOTE: The backup process may take over an hour, depending on file size and the speed of the  
computer.  
1. Select Start > All Programs > Maintenance > Backup and Restore.  
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up and create a backup.  
NOTE: Windows includes the User Account Control feature to improve the security of your computer.  
You may be prompted for your permission or password for tasks such as installing software, running  
utilities, or changing Windows settings. Refer to Help and Support for more information.  
Using system restore points  
When you back up your system, you are creating a system restore point. A system restore point allows  
you to save and name a snapshot of your hard drive at a specific point in time. You can then recover  
back to that point if you want to reverse subsequent changes made to your system.  
NOTE: Recovering to an earlier restore point does not affect data files saved or e-mails created since  
the last restore point.  
You also can create additional restore points to provide increased protection for your system files and  
settings.  
When to create restore points  
Before you add or extensively modify software or hardware  
Periodically, whenever the system is performing optimally  
NOTE: If you revert to a restore point and then change your mind, you can reverse the restoration.  
Create a system restore point  
1. Select Start > Control Panel > System and Security > System.  
2. In the left pane, click System Protection.  
3. Click the System Protection tab.  
4. Under Protection Settings, select the disk for which you want to create a restore point.  
5. Click Create.  
6. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Restore to a previous date and time  
To revert to a restore point (created at a previous date and time), when the computer was functioning  
optimally, follow these steps:  
1. Select Start > Control Panel > System and Security > System.  
2. In the left pane, click System protection.  
3. Click the System Protection tab.  
4. Click System Restore.  
5. Follow the on-screen instructions.  
Performing a recovery  
NOTE: You can recover only files that you have previously backed up. HP recommends that you use  
HP Recovery Manager to create a set of recovery discs (entire drive backup) as soon as you set up your  
computer.  
Recovery Manager software allows you to repair or restore the system if you experience system failure  
or instability. Recovery Manager works from recovery discs or from a dedicated recovery partition  
(select models only) on the hard drive. However, if your computer includes a solid-state drive (SSD), you  
may not have a recovery partition. If that is the case, recovery discs have been included with your  
computer. Use these discs to recover your operating system and software.  
NOTE: Windows has its own built-in repair features, such as System Restore. If you have not already  
tried these features, try them before using Recovery Manager.  
NOTE: Recovery Manager recovers only software that was preinstalled at the factory. Software not  
provided with this computer must be downloaded from the manufacturer's Web site or reinstalled from  
the disc provided by the manufacturer.  
Recovering from the recovery discs  
To restore the system from the recovery discs:  
1. Back up all personal files.  
2. Insert the first recovery disc into an optional external optical drive and restart the computer.  
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Recovering from the dedicated recovery partition (select models  
only)  
NOTE: Computers with an SSD may not have a recovery partition. If the computer does not have a  
recovery partition, you will not be able to recover using this procedure. Recovery discs have been  
included for computers that do not have a partition. Use these discs to recover your operating system  
and software.  
On some models, you can perform a recovery from the partition on the hard drive, accessed by  
pressing either the Start button or f11. This restores the computer to its factory condition.  
To restore the system from the partition, follow these steps:  
1. Access Recovery Manager in either of the following ways:  
Select Start > All Programs > Recovery Manager > Recovery Manager.  
– or –  
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. Then, press f11 while the “Press  
<F11> for recovery” message is displayed on the screen.  
2. Click System Recovery in the Recovery Manager window.  
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
