4 Removal and replacement procedures  
CAUTION: This computer does not have user-replaceable parts. Only HP authorized service  
providers should perform the removal and replacement procedures described here. Accessing the  
internal part could damage the computer or void the warranty.  
Preliminary replacement requirements  
Tools required  
You will need the following tools to complete the removal and replacement procedures:  
Flat-bladed screwdriver  
Magnetic screwdriver  
Phillips P0 and P1 screwdrivers  
Service considerations  
The following sections include some of the considerations that you must keep in mind during  
disassembly and assembly procedures.  
NOTE: As you remove each subassembly from the computer, place the subassembly (and all  
accompanying screws) away from the work area to prevent damage.  
Plastic parts  
CAUTION: Using excessive force during disassembly and reassembly can damage plastic parts.  
Use care when handling the plastic parts. Apply pressure only at the points designated in the  
maintenance instructions.  
Cables and connectors  
CAUTION: When servicing the computer, be sure that cables are placed in their proper locations  
during the reassembly process. Improper cable placement can damage the computer.  
Cables must be handled with extreme care to avoid damage. Apply only the tension required to  
unseat or seat the cables during removal and insertion. Handle cables by the connector whenever  
possible. In all cases, avoid bending, twisting, or tearing cables. Be sure that cables are routed in  
such a way that they cannot be caught or snagged by parts being removed or replaced. Handle flex

Drive handling  
CAUTION: Drives are fragile components that must be handled with care. To prevent damage to  
the computer, damage to a drive, or loss of information, observe these precautions:  
Before removing or inserting a hard drive, shut down the computer. If you are unsure whether  
the computer is off or in Hibernation, turn the computer on, and then shut it down through the  
operating system.  
Before handling a drive, be sure that you are discharged of static electricity. While handling a drive,  
avoid touching the connector.  
Before removing a diskette drive or optical drive, be sure that a diskette or disc is not in the drive and  
be sure that the optical drive tray is closed.  
Handle drives on surfaces covered with at least one inch of shock-proof foam.  
Avoid dropping drives from any height onto any surface.  
After removing a hard drive, an optical drive, or a diskette drive, place it in a static-proof bag.  
Avoid exposing an internal hard drive to products that have magnetic fields, such as monitors  
or speakers.  
Avoid exposing a drive to temperature extremes or liquids.  
If a drive must be mailed, place the drive in a bubble pack mailer or other suitable form of protective  
packaging and label the package “FRAGILE.”  
Grounding guidelines  
Electrostatic discharge damage  
Electronic components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Circuitry design and structure  
determine the degree of sensitivity. Networks built into many integrated circuits provide some  
protection, but in many cases, ESD contains enough power to alter device parameters or melt  
silicon junctions.  
A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor can destroy static-sensitive devices or  
microcircuitry. Even if the spark is neither felt nor heard, damage may have occurred.  
An electronic device exposed to ESD may not be affected at all and can work perfectly throughout a  
normal cycle. Or the device may function normally for a while, then degrade in the internal layers,  
reducing its life expectancy.  
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the computer when you are removing or installing internal  
components, observe these precautions:  
Keep components in their electrostatic-safe containers until you are ready to install them.  
Before touching an electronic component, discharge static electricity by using the guidelines  
described in this section.  
Avoid touching pins, leads, and circuitry. Handle electronic components as little as possible.  
If you remove a component, place it in an electrostatic-safe container.  
The following table shows how humidity affects the electrostatic voltage levels generated by  
different activities.  
CAUTION: A product can be degraded by as little as 700 V.

Packaging and transporting guidelines  
Follow these grounding guidelines when packaging and transporting equipment:  
To avoid hand contact, transport products in static-safe tubes, bags, or boxes.  
Protect ESD-sensitive parts and assemblies with conductive or approved containers or  
packaging.  
Keep ESD-sensitive parts in their containers until the parts arrive at static-free workstations.  
Place items on a grounded surface before removing items from their containers.  
Always be properly grounded when touching a component or assembly.  
Store reusable ESD-sensitive parts from assemblies in protective packaging or  
nonconductive foam.  
Use transporters and conveyors made of antistatic belts and roller bushings. Be sure that  
mechanized equipment used for moving materials is wired to ground and that proper materials  
are selected to avoid static charging. When grounding is not possible, use an ionizer to dissipate  
electric charges.  
Workstation guidelines  
Follow these grounding workstation guidelines:  
Cover the workstation with approved static-shielding material.  
Use a wrist strap connected to a properly grounded work surface and use properly grounded  
tools and equipment.  
Use conductive field service tools, such as cutters, screwdrivers, and vacuums.  
When fixtures must directly contact dissipative surfaces, use fixtures made only of static-  
safe materials.  
Keep the work area free of nonconductive materials, such as ordinary plastic assembly aids  
and Styrofoam.  
Handle ESD-sensitive components, parts, and assemblies by the case or PCM laminate. Handle  
these items only at static-free workstations.  
Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.  
Turn off power and input signals before inserting or removing connectors or test equipment.  
Preliminary replacement requirements 29

Equipment guidelines  
Grounding equipment must include either a wrist strap or a foot strap at a grounded workstation.  
When seated, wear a wrist strap connected to a grounded system. Wrist straps are flexible  
straps with a minimum of one megohm ±10% resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper  
ground, wear a strap snugly against the skin at all times. On grounded mats with banana-plug  
connectors, use alligator clips to connect a wrist strap.  
When standing, use foot straps and a grounded floor mat. Foot straps (heel, toe, or boot straps)  
can be used at standing workstations and are compatible with most types of shoes or boots. On  
conductive floors or dissipative floor mats, use foot straps on both feet with a minimum of one  
megohm resistance between the operator and ground. To be effective, the conductive must be  
worn in contact with the skin.  
The following grounding equipment is recommended to prevent electrostatic damage:  
Antistatic tape  
Antistatic smocks, aprons, and sleeve protectors  
Conductive bins and other assembly or soldering aids  
Nonconductive foam  
Conductive tabletop workstations with ground cords of one megohm resistance  
Static-dissipative tables or floor mats with hard ties to the ground  
Field service kits  
Static awareness labels  
Material-handling packages  
Nonconductive plastic bags, tubes, or boxes  
Metal tote boxes

7 Backup and recovery  
Your computer includes tools provided by the operating system and HP to help you safeguard your  
information and restore it if ever needed.  
This chapter provides information on the following topics:  
Creating a set of recovery discs or a recovery flash drive (HP Recovery Manager software  
feature)  
Performing a system restore (from the partition, recovery discs, or a recovery flash drive)  
Backing up your information  
Recovering a program or driver  
Restoring the system  
If the computer hard drive fails, you must use a set of recovery discs or a recovery flash drive to  
restore your system to its factory image. Ideally, you have already used HP Recovery Manager to  
create these tools immediately after software setup.  
NOTE: All references to the hard disk drive in this guide refer to the solid-state (SSD) drive  
For issues other than hard drive failure, you can restore your system by using the HP Recovery  
partition, rather than by using recovery discs or a recovery flash drive. To check for the presence of a  
recovery partition, click Start, right-click Computer, click Manage, and then click Disk Management.  
If the recovery partition is present, a Recovery drive is listed in the window.  
CAUTION: HP Recovery Manager (partition or discs/flash drive) restores only software that was  
preinstalled at the factory. Software not provided with this computer must be reinstalled manually.  
Creating restore media  
HP recommends that you create either a set of recovery discs or a recovery flash drive so that you  
can restore your computer to its original factory state if the hard drive fails, or if for any reason you  
cannot restore using the recovery partition tools. Create these discs or the flash drive after setting up  
the computer for the first time.  
NOTE: HP Recovery Manager allows the creation of only one set of recovery discs or one recovery  
flash drive. Handle these recovery tools carefully, and keep them in a safe place.  
NOTE: You can use an optional external optical drive (purchased separately) to create recovery  
discs, or you can purchase recovery discs for your computer from the HP website. If you use an  
external optical drive, it must be connected directly to a USB port on the computer, not to a USB port  
on an external device, such as a USB hub.  
Guidelines:  
Purchase high-quality DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-R DL, or DVD+R DL discs.  
NOTE: Read-write discs, such as CD-RW, DVD±RW, double-layer DVD±RW, and BD-RE  
(rewritable Blu-ray) discs, are not compatible with the HP Recovery Manager software.  
The computer must be connected to AC power during this process.  
78 Chapter 7 Backup and recovery  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
         
Only one set of recovery discs or one recovery flash drive can be created per computer.  
NOTE: If you are creating recovery discs, number each disc before inserting it into an optional  
external optical drive (purchased separately).  
If necessary, you can exit the program before you have finished creating the recovery discs or  
recovery flash drive. The next time you open HP Recovery Manager, you will be prompted to  
continue the backup creation process.  
To create a set of recovery discs or a recovery flash drive:  
1. Select Start > All Programs > Security and Protection > HP Recovery Manager > HP  
Recovery Media Creation.  
2. Follow the on-screen instructions.  
Performing a system recovery  
HP Recovery Manager software allows you to repair or restore the computer to its original factory  
state. HP Recovery Manager works from recovery discs, a recovery flash drive, or from a dedicated  
recovery partition on the hard drive.  
NOTE: A system restore must be performed if the computer hard drive fails or if all attempts to  
correct any functional computer issues fail. A system restore should be used as a final attempt to  
correct computer issues.  
Note the following when performing a system restore:  
You can restore only the system that you have previously backed up. HP recommends that you  
use HP Recovery Manager to create either a set of recovery discs or a recovery flash drive as  
soon as you set up the computer.  
Windows has its own built-in repair features, such as System Restore. If you have not already  
tried these features, try them before using HP Recovery Manager to restore your system.  
HP Recovery Manager restores only software that was installed at the factory. For software not  
provided with this computer, you must either download the software from the manufacturer's  
website or reinstall the software from the disc provided by the manufacturer using an optional  
external optical drive (purchased separately).  
Using the dedicated recovery partition  
When using the dedicated recovery partition, there is an option to back up pictures, music and other  
audio, videos and movies, recorded TV shows, documents, spreadsheets and presentations, e-mails,  
Internet favorites and settings during this process.

It is very important to back up your files and keep any new software in a safe place. As you add new  
software and data files, continue to create backups on a regular basis.  
How completely you are able to recover your system depends on how recent your backup is.  
NOTE: A recovery from your most recent backup needs to be performed if the computer has a virus  
attack or if any major system components fail. In order to correct computer issues, a recovery should  
first be attempted before a system restore is attempted.  
You can back up your information to an optional external hard drive, a network drive, or discs. Back  
up your system at the following times:  
At regularly scheduled times  
TIP: Set reminders to back up your information periodically.
