CAUTION: Use safety glasses equipped with side shields before attempting to clean debris from under the keys. Visible debris underneath or between the keys may be removed by vacuuming or shaking. ● Canned, pressurized air may be used to clean debris from under the keys. Caution should be used ●...
If an incorrect screw is used during the reassembly process, it can damage the unit. HP strongly recommends that all screws removed during disassembly be kept with the part that was removed, then returned to their proper locations.
Batteries, battery packs, and accumulators should not be disposed of together with the general household waste. In order to forward them to recycling or proper disposal, please use the public collection system or return them to HP, their authorized partners, or their agents. SATA hard drives...
SATA hard drive cables SATA data cable Always use an HP approved SATA 3.0 Gb/s cable as it is fully backwards compatible with the SATA 1.5 Gb/s drives. Current HP desktop products ship with SATA 3.0 Gb/s hard drives. SATA data cables are susceptible to damage if overflexed. Never crease a SATA data cable and never bend it tighter than a 30 mm (1.18 in) radius.
