Important Safety Information  
For your safety, never remove the PC’s cover without first removing the power  
cord and any connection to a telecommunications network. Always replace the  
cover before switching the PC on again.  
For your safety, always connect equipment to a grounded electrical wall outlet.  
Always use a power cord with a properly grounded plug, such as the one provided  
with the equipment, or one in compliance with your national safety standards. The  
equipment can be disconnected from the power by removing the power cord from  
the power outlet. This means the equipment must be located close to an easily  
accessible electrical outlet.  
To avoid electrical shock, do not open the power supply. There are no user-  
serviceable parts inside.  
There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly installed. For your  
safety, never attempt to recharge, disassemble or burn an old battery. Only replace  
the battery with the same or equivalent type, as recommended by the  
manufacturer. The battery in this PC is a lithium battery that does not contain any  
heavy metals. Nevertheless, in order to protect the environment, do not dispose of  
batteries in household waste. Please return used batteries either to the shop from  
which you bought them, or to the dealer from whom you purchased your PC, or to  
HP, so that they can either be recycled or disposed of in the correct way. Returned  
used batteries will be accepted free of charge.  
Do not attempt to connect this product to the phone line during a lightning storm.  
Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the telephone line has been  
disconnected at the network interface. Never touch uninsulated telephone wires  
or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network  
interface. Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines. Avoid using a  
telephone (other than a cordless type) during a lightning storm. There may be a  
risk from lightning. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of  
the leak. Never touch or remove the communications board without first removing  
the connection to the telephone network.  
Use minimum Nº 26 AWG wire for telephone cable.  
Choosing a Comfortable Workspace  
Choose a workspace for your computer near a grounded electrical wall  
socket. If your monitor has a tilt-swivel base, attach it to the monitor as  
described in the monitor manual. Position the monitor on your desk.  
Position the computer to allow proper ventilation and access to the cables.  
WARNING If you are in doubt that you can lift the equipment safely, do not try to move it without  
help.

Important Ergonomic Information  
Improper and prolonged use of keyboards and input devices are among those tasks associated  
with repetitive strain injury (RSI) to soft tissues in the hands and arms. If you do experience  
discomfort or pains while using any computing equipment, discontinue use immediately and  
consult your physician as soon as possible.  
Your comfort and safety are our primary concern. Consequently, we strongly recommend that  
you read HP’s ergonomic information before using your PC. For detailed information, refer to  
HP’s online version of “Working in Comfort” which is preloaded on your PC’s hard disk or visit  
HP’s Working in Comfort Web site at: www.hp.com/ergo/. A summary is provided in the  
Comfort and Safety Checklist on page 6.

Comfort and Safety Checklist  
Comfort and Safety Checklist  
Before using your new HP Brio PC, ensure that your working environment  
is correct.  
Preparing Your Work Environment  
When using HP computing equipment, it is important that your work  
environment contributes to your comfort and productivity:  
Keyboard  
Slope  
Tilt  
Monitor  
Swivel  
Keyboard  
Height  
64-76 cm  
Thigh  
Clearance  
6cm  
Work Surface Height - Your work surface should be height adjustable.  
To ensure that your worksurface is at the correct height, first adjust the  
height of your chair so that your feet are firmly on the floor, then adjust  
the work surface height until your forearms are parallel to the floor  
when you have your fingers on the keyboard or other input devices.  
Chair - Your chair should provide a comfortable sitting position  
including features such as a height and tilt adjustment feature, curved  
seat edge, a stable base (for example, five legs and castors, adjustable  
back support, a freely rotating swivel, fully adjustable padded arm  
rests).  
Monitor - Place your monitor so that the top of the screen is at, or  
slightly below, eye level (up to 15 degrees).  
Work Surface Arrangement - Make sure that all elements of your HP  
Brio system for example, monitor, document holder, keyboard, mice and  
other input devices, and headphones and speakers- are optimally  
arranged and adjusted to meet your personal requirements. For  
example, if you are primarily using the keyboard, place it directly in  
front of you, not to the side. If your work involves extensive use of a  
mouse or other pointing device, place that device directly in front of

Comfort and Safety Checklist  
your left or right arm. If you are using both a mouse and keyboard, place  
them both at the same work surface height and close together. If a palm  
rest is used, the height should be flush with the front edge of the  
keyboard. Other items, such as your telephone or notepad, should also  
be considered.  
Caution Various aspects of using mice, keyboards and other input devices may increase your risk of  
discomfort or injury. Optimize your comfort and safety by positioning these devices properly.  
Your Work Posture  
Sitting in one position for long periods can be uncomfortable. To minimize  
the potential risk for physical discomfort or injury, it’s important that you  
maintain a proper posture.  
Head - When viewing your monitor, your head should not be tilted more  
than 15 degrees forward, and do not turn your head toward either side.  
Back - While sitting at your work surface, make sure your back is  
supported by the chair's backrest in an erect position or angled slightly  
backwards.  
Arms - Make sure your arms and elbows are relaxed and loose, with  
your upper arms perpendicular to the floor or tilted downward not more  
than 15 degrees. Keep your forearms and hands approximately parallel  
with the floor with elbows bent between 70 and 115 degrees. Keep your  
elbows close to your sides (less than 20 degrees away from your body).  
Hands, Wrists, Forearms - Try to keep your hands wrists and forearms  
in a relaxed neutral position when using your mouse keyboard or other  
input devices. For example, while using your keyboard and mouse, rest  
your forearms (flat) on your desktop.  
Legs - Your thighs should be horizontal or angled slightly downward.  
Your lower legs should be near a right angle to your thighs. Make sure  
there is sufficient room under the work surface for your legs.  
Feet - If after adjusting your chair you cannot rest your feet comfortably  
on the floor, use a footrest, preferably one that can be adjusted in height  
and angle.  
Overall  
Look away from the screen from time-to-time to help reduce eyestrain.  
Focus on distant objects briefly, and blink periodically to lubricate your  
eyes. You also should have your eyes checked on a regular basis and  
ensure your eyeglass prescription is suitable for working on a computer  
monitor.

Comfort and Safety Checklist  
Remember to occasionally shift position and move your body. Keeping  
your body in one position for long periods is unnatural and stressful.  
When prolonged work is required, take frequent short breaks. As a rule  
of thumb, a five or ten minute break every hour is a good idea. Short  
frequent breaks are more beneficial than longer less frequent breaks.  
Data show that people who work for long periods of time without a  
break may be more prone to ergonomic injury.  
Changing tasks frequently will help prevent muscle stiffness. Examples:  
alternating between keyboarding, reading, writing, filing, and moving  
around in your work environment, helps you maintain a relaxed  
posture. Occasionally stretch the muscles in your hands, arms,  
shoulders, neck and back. You should stretch at least as often as you  
take brief task breaks—at least once every hour.  
Discomfort may be alleviated by using alternative ergonomic designs  
and accessories such as ergonomically personalized chairs, palm rests,  
keyboard trays, alternative input devices, prescription eyeglasses, anti-  
glare screens, and more. Seek additional information from the sources  
available to you, including your employer, doctor, local office supply  
store, and the Information Sources listed in the online version of  
Working in Comfort, preloaded on the hard disk of your HP computing  
equipment or available on the HP web site: www.hp.com/ergo.

My HP Brio Detects an Error at Startup  
My HP Brio Detects an Error at Startup  
When your PC starts up, it tests your hardware configuration for any  
problems. Your PC may emit a series of distinct loud beeps if a problem is  
found during the very early stages of startup.  
The BIOS in your PC then performs a Power-on SelfTest (POST). If a  
problem is detected during POST, an error is displayed on your monitor.  
If you hear a series of beeps, you should count them as this will help you  
detect the cause of the problem. Here are some examples:  
1 = absent or incorrectly connected processor  
2 = power supply in protected mode  
3 = memory failure detection  
4 = video card failure  
If you miss the beep code, turn off the PC, then press and hold in the  
On/Off button for a few seconds and listen for the signal again.  
This section describes what to do if your PC encounters a startup error.

HP Setup Program  
HP Setup Program  
The HP Setup program allows you to view and change the configuration of  
your HP Brio PC. Sometimes you may also need to enter the Setup  
program to reconfigure your PC after installing new hardware  
components. The Setup program has online help to guide you through any  
changes you have to make.  
Entering the Setup Program  
To enter the Setup program, press F2 when the Hewlett-Packard logo  
appears on screen.  
Setup Program Menus  
Your PC’s Setup program contains a series of menus, which are selected  
with the right and left arrow keys on your keyboard. You can select an item  
within a menu with the up and down arrow keys. When an item is selected,  
Setup displays a description of its function on the right of the screen.  
The Setup program contains the following menus:  
Main - for basic information on your configuration including processor  
speed, the amount of installed RAM, installed drives, time and date.  
Advanced - for setting Advanced Features.  
Security - for setting a password to restrict access to your computer.  
It is possible to set a Supervisor or a User password. The Supervisor can  
change all settings and the User can only change the date and time.  
Setting a password will, by preventing access to the Setup menus,  
protect your computer's configuration.  
You can also disable the floppy, hard drive and CD-ROM drive from  
within this menu page to prevent unauthorized use.  
Power - for selecting power-management modes to reduce the amount of  
energy used after specified periods of inactivity.  
If your computer stays idle for a certain amount of time, your system  
switches from Full Power Mode to Sleep Mode in order to reduce power  
consumption.  
In Sleep Mode, graphics, the processor and hard disks are stopped. A  
user event, such as from the keyboard, can cause the system to resume  
to Full Power Mode within a few seconds.  
Other events may also wake up the system: a ring on an external  
modem, a signal sent by an expansion card (network card etc.).

HP Setup Program  
Boot - for choosing your boot device order and priority.  
You can select the order of the devices from which the BIOS (Basic  
Input Output System) attempts to boot the operating system. During  
the POST (Power On Self-Test), if the BIOS is unsuccessful at booting  
from one device, it will try the next one on the Boot Device Priority list  
until an operating system is found. The default boot device is the floppy  
disk.  
Exit: for leaving the Setup program.  
Setting System Defaults  
The Setup program changes system behavior by modifying the power-on  
initialization parameters. Setting incorrect values may cause system boot  
failure. If this occurs, press the F9 key while you are in the Setup program  
to load the Setup program's default values or select Load default values in  
the Exit menu of the Setup program. This should enable the computer to  
boot properly.  
Note If a Supervisor password is set, you need to enter the password to set system defaults.  
HP strongly recommends you make a note of any changes you make while in the Setup program.

Clearing Your PC’s CMOS (BIOS) Settings  
Clearing Your PC’s CMOS (BIOS) Settings  
CMOS is a chip that keeps a record of installed components when your PC  
is turned off. Clearing CMOS settings may help you resolve some common  
problems. For example:  
when you need to clear passwords to have full access to your PC’s BIOS  
Setup program  
when your PC cannot detect an expansion card or other device  
when you are having problems booting the PC.  
You can clear CMOS settings:  
by using your PC’s BIOS Setup program  
by opening your PC and clearing CMOS manually.  
Clearing CMOS Using the Setup Program  
If you are able to gain access to your PC’s Setup program, use the  
following simple method to clear CMOS settings:  
1 Restart your PC and press F2 when the message Press F2 to enter Setup  
appears on screen. Refer to page 72.  
2 From within the Setup program, press F9 to load Setup defaults.

Your PC’s BIOS  
Your PC’s BIOS  
The BIOS (Basic Input Output System) in your PC has the following roles:  
It tests and configures your PC’s hardware components during the  
POST (Power On Self-Test).  
It lets you configure your PC by using the Setup program. See “HP  
Setup Program” on page 72.  
It provides the link between the software running on your PC and your  
PC’s hardware.  
The BIOS is stored in a chip on the system board. A PC’s BIOS is specific  
to that PC.  
Updating Your PC’s BIOS  
Many problems with your PC can be solved by updating (flashing) the PC’s  
BIOS.  
Updating (flashing) your BIOS is a simple procedure that involves booting  
your PC from a floppy disk containing the new BIOS.  
The latest BIOS for your PC along with instructions on updating can be  
downloaded from HP’s Brio Support Web site at:

TELECOM REGULATORY STATEMENTS  
PART 68 FCC Compliance Statement (USA)  
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. A label is attached to the equipment that contains, among  
other information, its FCC registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN). If requested, this information  
must be provided to the telephone company.  
An FCC compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this equipment. This equipment is designed to be  
connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using a compatible modular jack, which is FCC part 68  
compliant.  
Connection to the telephone network should be made by using standard modular telephone jack of type RJ11.  
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices that may be connected to the telephone line and still have all of  
those devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs should not  
exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to the line, as determined by the total  
RENs, contact the telephone company to determine the maximum REN for the calling area.  
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may discontinue your service  
temporarily. If advance notice is not practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible.  
Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.  
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the  
operation of the equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to  
make the necessary modifications in order to maintain uninterrupted service.  
In the event this equipment should fail to operate properly, disconnect the unit from the telephone line. Try using  
another FCC approved telephone in the same telephone jack. If the trouble persists, call the telephone company repair  
service bureau. If the trouble does not persist and appear s to be with this unit, disconnect the unit from the telephone  
line and discontinue use of the unit until it is repaired. Please note that the telephone company may ask that you  
disconnect the equipment from the telephone network until the problem has been corrected or until you are sure that  
the equipment is not malfunctioning.

Industry of Canada Notice  
The Industry of Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain  
telecommunications network prospective, operational and safety requirements. The department does not guarantee  
the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.  
Before installing this equipment, make sure you are permitted to connect it to the facilities of the local  
Telecommunications Company. You must install the equipment using an acceptable method of connection. In some  
cases you may also extend the company's inside wiring for single line individual service by means of certified  
connector assembly (telephone extension cord). You should be aware, however, that compliance with the above  
conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.  
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designed by the  
supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by a user to this equipment or equipment malfunctions, may give the  
telephone communications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.  
For your own protection, make sure that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and  
internal metallic water pipes systems, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly  
important in rural areas.  
Caution: Do not attempt to make electrical ground connections yourself, contact the appropriate electric inspection  
authority or an electrician.

Regulatory Information  
This equipment has been approved in accordance with Council Decision 98/482/EC for Pan European single terminal  
connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). However, due to differences between individual  
PSTNs provided in different countries the approval does not, of itself, give an unconditional assurance of successful  
operation on every PSTN network termination point.  
In the event of problems, you should contact your equipment supplier in the first instance.  
Dieses Geraet wurde gemaess der Entscheidung 98/482/EG des Rates europaweit zur Anschaltung als einzelne  
Endeinrichtung an das oeffentliche Fernsprechnetz zugelassen. Aufgrund der zwischen den oeffentlichen

Cet équipement a reçu l'agrément, conformément à la décision 98/482/CE du Conseil, concernant la connexion  
paneuropéenne de terminal unique aux Réseaux Téléphoniques Publics Commutés (RTPC). Toutefois, comme il existe  
des différences d'un pays à l'autre entre les RTPC, l'agrément en soi ne constitue pas une garantie absolue de  
fonctionnement optimal à chaque point de terminaison du réseau RTPC.  
En cas de problème, vous devez contacter en premier lieu votre fournisseur.  
La presente apparecchiatura terminale è stata approvata in conformità della decione 98/482/CE del Consigho per la

condicional de funcionamiento satisfactorio en todos los puntos de terminación de la red de una RTPC.  
En caso de surgir algún problema, procede ponerse en contacto en primer lugar el proveedor de equipo.  
Dit apparaat is goedgekeurd volgens Beschikking 98/482/EG van de Raad voor de pan-europese aansluiting van  
enkelvoudige eindapparatuur op het openbare geschakelde telefoonnetwerk (PSTN). Gezien de verschillen tussen de  
individuele PSTN's in de verschillende landen, biedt deze goedkeuring op zichzelf geen onvoorwaardelijke garantie voor  
een succesvolle werking op elk PSTN-netwerkaansluitpunt.

HP Hardware Warranty  
Obtaining On-Site Service  
If your product is eligible for on-site warranty service, you must either contact an HP  
Customer Care Center, an HP Sales and Service Office or a participating HP Authorized  
Support Provider. You may be required to supply proof of the purchase date.  
On-site visits resulting from defects in non-HP products—whether internal or external to the  
central processor unit—are subject to standard per-incident travel and labor charges.  
On-site service visits are subject to the following conditions:  
You must verify that the latest version of the BIOS is installed on your product. You may  
be asked to install the latest version of the BIOS before an HP Sales and Service Center  
representative or HP Authorized Support Provider representative is dispatched to your  
site.  
You must provide: access to the product; adequate working space and facilities within a  
reasonable distance of the product; access to and use of all information and facilities  
determined necessary by HP to service the product; and operating supplies and  
consumables such as you would use during normal operation.  
You, or a representative for you, must be present at all times. You must state if the  
product is being used in an environment which poses a potential health hazard to repair  
personnel. HP or the servicing dealer may require that the product be maintained by

day (excluding HP holidays) for HP Travel Zones 1-3 (generally 100 miles or 160 km

you will not be billed for the call.If you are asked to return the entire bundled product  
for repair, the necessary parts will be provided free of charge; however, you will be billed  
for labor to repair your product.  
HP reserves the right to validate any claims of defective parts before sending  
replacements for any such parts.  
You must verify that the latest version of the BIOS is installed on your product. You may  
be asked to install the latest version of the BIOS before a free replacement part is sent to

part(s).
