3 Routine care and disassembly preparation This chapter provides general service information for the computer. Adherence to the procedures and precautions described in this chapter is essential for proper service. CAUTION: When the computer is plugged into an AC power source, voltage is always applied to the system board. You must disconnect the power cord from the power source before opening the computer to prevent system board or component damage.
Generating static The following table shows that: ● Different activities generate different amounts of static electricity. ● Static electricity increases as humidity decreases.
Personal grounding methods and equipment Use the following equipment to prevent static electricity damage to equipment: ● Wrist straps are flexible straps with a maximum of one-megohm ± 10% resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, a strap must be worn snug against bare skin. The ground cord must be connected and fit snugly into the banana plug connector on the grounding mat or workstation.
● 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 ● Material handling packages ● Conductive plastic bags ● Conductive plastic tubes ● Conductive tote boxes ● Opaque shielding bags ● Transparent metallized shielding bags ● Transparent shielding tub
● Never cover the ventilation slots on the monitor with any type of material. ● Install or enable power management functions of the operating system or other software, including sleep states. Routine care General cleaning safety precautions 1. Never use solvents or flammable solutions to clean the computer. 2. Never immerse any parts in water or cleaning solutions; apply any liquids to a clean cloth and then use the cloth on the component. 3.
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 as too much air pressure can dislodge lubricants applied under the wide keys. ● If you remove a key, use a specially designed key puller to prevent damage to the keys.
● Diagnostics software ● Tamper-resistant T-15 wrench Screws 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. CAUTION: drives only. Metric screws have a black finish. U.S.
4 Removal and replacement procedures Adherence to the procedures and precautions described in this chapter is essential for proper service. After completing all necessary removal and replacement procedures, run the Diagnostics utility to verify that all components operate properly.

D Restoring the Flash Image System Requirements To create a recovery device for the purpose of reflashing or restoring the software image on the ROM, you will need the following: ● A personal computer running Microsoft Windows XP Professional or Windows 7. ● One or more HP t820 Flexible Thin Clients ● 8-GB USB flash device for Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard 7 (WES 7) (if using the USB format). This restore method will not work with all USB flash devices.
first restart of the thin client following the restore process, it may take approximately 15 minutes to unbundle the software before the Windows Desktop is displayed. Formatting a USB Flash Drive CAUTION: To prevent loss of data, be sure that you have saved any user-created data from the USB drive to another drive. 1. Connect your USB flash device (drive key) to your personal computer. Ensure that only one USB flash device is connected to the system. 2. Click USB Format. 3.
E Device management The t820 includes a license for HP Device Manager and has a Device Manager agent pre-installed. HP Device Manager is a thin client optimized management tool used to manage the full life cycle of HP thin clients to include Discover, Asset Management, Deployment and Configuration. For more information on HP Device Manager, please visit www.hp.com/go/hpdm. If you wish to manage the t820 with other management tools such as Microsoft SCCM or LANDesk, go to www.hp.
F Adding an Image Restore Tool 1. Ensure that the boot order is set to use the Network as the first boot device. 2.

H Power cord set requirements The power supplies on some computers have external power switches. The voltage select switch feature on the computer permits it to operate from any line voltage between 100-120 or 220-240 volts AC. Power supplies on those computers that do not have external power switches are equipped with internal switches that sense the incoming voltage and automatically switch to the proper voltage.
