Serial ATA (SATA) Drive Guidelines and Features NOTE: HP only supports the use of SATA hard drives on these models of computer. No Parallel ATA (PATA) drives are supported. SATA Hard Drives Serial ATA Hard Drive Characteristics Number of pins/conductors in data cable Number of pins in power cable Maximum data cable length 39.37 in (100 cm)
SMART ATA Drives The Self Monitoring Analysis and Recording Technology (SMART) ATA drives for the HP Personal Computers have built-in drive failure prediction that warns the user or network administrator of an impending failure or crash of the hard drive. The SMART drive tracks fault prediction and failure indication parameters such as reallocated sector count, spin retry count, and calibration retry count.
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.
Preventing Electrostatic Damage to Equipment Many electronic components are sensitive to ESD. Circuitry design and structure determine the degree of sensitivity. The following packaging and grounding precautions are necessary to prevent damage to electric components and accessories. ● To avoid hand contact, transport products in static-safe containers such as tubes, bags, or boxes.
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.
Routine Care General Cleaning Safety Precautions Never use solvents or flammable solutions to clean the computer. Never immerse any parts in water or cleaning solutions; apply any liquids to a clean cloth and then use the cloth on the component. Always unplug the computer when cleaning with liquids or damp cloths.
CAUTION: Never remove a wide leveled key (like the space bar) from the keyboard. If these keys are improperly removed or installed, the keyboard may not function properly. ● Cleaning under a key may be done with a swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol and squeezed out.
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.

Password Security and Resetting CMOS This computer supports security password features, which can be established through the Computer Setup Utilities menu. This computer supports two security password features that are established through the Computer Setup Utilities menu: setup password and power-on password. When you establish only a setup password, any user can access all the information on the computer except Computer Setup.
Locate the header and jumper labeled CLR_PASS. NOTE: The password jumper is blue so that it can be easily identified. For assistance locating the password jumper and other system board components, see the Illustrated Parts & Service Map (IPSM). The IPSM can be downloaded from http://www.hp.com/support. Remove the jumper from pins 2 and 3.
Page 198
Put the jumper back on pins 2 or 3. Replace the access panel. Reconnect the external equipment. Plug in the computer and turn on power. Allow the operating system to start. This clears the current passwords and disables the password features. NOTE: You will receive POST error messages after clearing CMOS and rebooting advising you that configuration changes have occurred.
