2 Hardware Upgrades Tools Needed A Phillips, Torx, or flat blade screwdriver is needed for most of the procedures described in this guide. Warnings and Cautions Before performing upgrades be sure to carefully read all of the applicable instructions, cautions, and warnings in this guide. WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury from electrical shock, hot surfaces, or fire: Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet and allow the internal system components to cool before touching.
This apparatus is intended to be supported by UL or CSA Listed wall mount bracket. HP recommends that you use an HP Quick Release mounting bracket for wall mounting (part number EM870AA). CAUTION: To attach a third-party mounting solution to the RP7, four 4 mm, 0.7 pitch, and 10 mm long screws are required. Longer screws must not be used because they may damage the system.

3 Configuring the Software Touch Screen Calibration You do not need to install the touch driver software for Microsoft Windows 7 or POSReady 7. Touch drivers are already included in those operating systems for this monitor. HP recommends that you calibrate the touch screen before using the system to ensure that the touch point registers on the screen where the stylus or finger touches the screen.
Configuring Powered Serial Ports The serial ports can be configured as standard (non-powered) serial ports or powered serial ports. Some devices use a powered serial port. If the serial port is configured as a powered port, devices that support a powered serial interface do not require an external power source. NOTE: The computer ships with all serial ports configured in standard serial mode by default unless the powered serial port AV numbers are ordered.
A Troubleshooting Interpreting POST Diagnostic Front Panel LEDs and Audible Codes This section covers the front panel LED codes as well as the audible codes that may occur before or during POST that do not necessarily have an error code or text message associated with them. WARNING! When the computer is plugged into an AC power source, voltage is always applied to the system board.
Table A-1 Diagnostic Front Panel LEDs and Audible Codes (continued) Activity Beeps Possible Cause Recommended Action Red Power LED flashes four times, once every second, followed by a two second pause. Beeps stop after fifth iteration but LEDs continue until problem is solved. 4 Power failure (power supply is overloaded). 1. Ensure the DC power cable is plugged into the I/O panel. 2. Check if a device is causing the problem by removing ALL attached devices (such as a hard drive).
Table A-1 Diagnostic Front Panel LEDs and Audible Codes (continued) Activity Beeps Possible Cause Recommended Action Power LED flashes 12 times, once every second, followed by a two second pause. Beeps stop after third iteration and the computer reboots. 12 Health timer expired. None. System does not power on and LEDs are not flashing. None System unable to power on. Press and hold the power button for less than 4 seconds. If the hard drive LED turns green, the power button is working correctly.
B Electrostatic Discharge A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device. Preventing Electrostatic Damage To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions: ● Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers. ● Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
C Computer Operating Guidelines, Routine Care and Shipping Preparation Computer Operating Guidelines and Routine Care Follow these guidelines to properly set up and care for the computer and monitor: ● Although the display is water resistant, it is best to keep it away from excessive moisture, direct sunlight, and extremes of heat and cold. ● Never restrict the airflow into the computer by blocking any vents or air intakes. ● Never operate the computer with the cover or side panel removed.
Shipping Preparation Follow these suggestions when preparing to ship the computer: 1. Back up the hard drive files. Be sure that the backup media is not exposed to electrical or magnetic impulses while stored or in transit. NOTE: The hard drive locks automatically when the system power is turned off. 2. Remove and store all removable media. 3. Turn off the computer and external devices. 4. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet, then from the computer. 5.
