To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the Safety & Comfort Guide. It describes proper workstation, setup, posture, and health and work habits for computer users, and provides important electrical and mechanical safety information. This guide is located on the Web at http://www.hp.com/ergo. WARNING! Computers that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests, or carts may fall over and cause personal injury.
Connecting and disconnecting power Connecting power Connect the peripheral cables to the appropriate ports. Plug the female end of the power cord into the power supply brick (1). Connect the other end of the power cord to an electrical outlet (2). Connect the round end of the power supply cord to the power supply connector on the rear of the computer (3).
Installing a cable lock The cable lock slot enables you to secure your computer. A cable lock is a key lock device that has a wire cable attached. You attach one end of the cable to your desk (or other stationary object) and the other end of the cable to the cable lock slot on back of the computer.
Installing an access panel security screw You may prevent access to internal components by securing the access panel. Remove the T15 tamper-resistant Torx security screw from the storage position in the rear of the computer and screw it into the security screw hole (locking position) to prevent removal of the access panel.
