Sodium hypochlorite 0.1–1% Cellulose: 10–30%, ethyl alcohol: 0.1–1% Isopropanol: 30–40%, water 60–70% NOTE: Contact your local HP sales representative for recommended brands of ready-to-use cleaning wipes which have been tested for cleaning the display. WARNING! ● Using cleaning methods or disinfectants that are not approved could damage the device.
The screws used in the computer are not interchangeable. They may have standard or metric threads and may be of different lengths. 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. Electrostatic discharge information A sudden discharge of static electricity from your finger or other conductor can destroy static-sensitive devices or microcircuitry.
Keep electrostatic sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free stations. ● ● Place items on a grounded surface before removing them from their container. ● Always be properly grounded when touching a sensitive component or assembly. ● Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.
● Conductive foam Conductive tabletop workstations with ground cord of one-megohm +/- 10% resistance ● ● Static-dissipative table or floor mats with hard tie to ground Field service kits ● ● Static awareness labels Wrist straps and footwear straps providing one-megohm +/- 10% resistance ●...

Poor performance. Cause Solution Virus resident on the hard drive. Run virus protection program. Too many applications running. Close unnecessary applications to free up memory. Add more memory. Some applications run in the background and can be closed by right-clicking on their corresponding icons in the task tray.
System does not power on and the LEDs on the front of the computer are not flashing. Cause Solution Remove the expansion cards one at a time until the 5V_aux light on the system board turns on. Replace the system board. Press and hold the power button for less than 4 seconds.
Power LED flashes Red four times, once every second, followed by a two second pause, and the computer beeps four times. (Beeps stop after fifth iteration but LEDs continue flashing.) Computer powered off automatically and the Power LED flashes red three times and then white four times. Cause Solution Power failure (power supply is overloaded).

Creating HP Recovery media (select products only) After you have successfully set up the computer, use HP Recovery Manager to create a backup of the HP Recovery partition on the computer. This backup is called HP Recovery media. In cases where the hard drive is corrupted or has been replaced, the HP Recovery media can be used to reinstall the original operating system.
On select products, you can use the HP Cloud Recovery Download Tool to create HP Recovery media on a bootable USB flash drive. For more information, see Using the HP Cloud Recovery Download Tool to create recovery media on page...
Recovering using HP Recovery Manager You can use HP Recovery Manager software to recover the computer to its original factory state by using the HP Recovery media that you either created or that you obtained from HP, or by using the HP Recovery partition (select products only).
Recovering using HP Recovery media If your computer does not have an HP Recovery partition or if the hard drive is not working properly, you can use HP Recovery media to recover the original operating system and software programs that were installed at the factory.
Changing the computer boot order If your computer does not restart in HP Recovery Manager, you can change the computer boot order. This is the order of devices listed in BIOS where the computer looks for startup information. You can change the selection to an optical drive or a USB flash drive, depending on the location of your HP Recovery media.
