Quick Setup

Choose Minitower or Desktop Configuration

The Compaq Evo D500 Ultra-Slim Desktop personal computer can

be used in either a minitower or desktop configuration. To use it in the

minitower configuration, align the hole at the base of the personal

computer with the post and thumbscrew in the stand. Tighten the

screw to secure the personal computer to the stand. This adds stability

and helps to ensure proper airflow to the internal components.
