Quick Setup

Step 1: Unpack the Computer

ÅWARNING: 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 and on the hard drive or on the Documentation

and Diagnostics CD that is included with the product.

Step 2: Confirm the Voltage Setting

Ensure that the voltage select switch for the power supply is set to

the correct voltage for your region (115 volts or 230 volts).

ÄCAUTION: You should not need to change the voltage setting; however,

you should verify that the voltage selection is compatible with your local

power specifications. Failure to do so could result in damage to the

computer.

Step 3: Connect External Devices

Connect the monitor, mouse, keyboard, and network cables.

✎Arrangement and number of connectors may vary by model.

ÄCAUTION: Do not add optional hardware or third-party devices to the

computer until the operating system is successfully installed. Doing so may

cause errors and may prevent the operating system from installing properly.

Step 5: Connect the Power Cords

Connect the power cords and monitor cord as shown. Turn on the

monitor, then turn on the computer.

ÅWARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the

equipment:

■Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding

plug is an important safety feature.

■Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet

that is easily accessible at all times.

■Disconnect power from the computer by unplugging the power

cord from either the electrical outlet or the computer.

ÄCAUTION: Be sure there is a 4-inch (10.2 cm) clearance on all vented

sides of the computer and monitor to permit the required airflow.

Step 6: Turn On the Computer and

Install the Windows Operating System

✎If the computer was not shipped with a Microsoft Windows XP

Professional/Home operating system, some portions of this

documentation do not apply. Refer to the operating system

documentation and online Help for operating instructions.

ÄCAUTION: Do not add optional hardware or third-party devices to the

computer until the operating system is successfully installed. Doing so may

cause errors and may prevent the operating system from installing properly.

Press the power button to turn on the computer.

The first time you turn on the computer, the operating system is

installed automatically. This process takes about 5 to 10 minutes,

depending on which operating system is being installed.

Carefully read and follow the instructions on the screen to

complete the installation.

ÄCAUTION: Once the automatic installation has begun, DO NOT TURN

OFF THE COMPUTER UNTIL THE PROCESS IS COMPLETE. Turning off the

computer during the installation process may damage the software that

runs the computer or prevent its proper installation. In the event that you

lose power during the installation process, run the Restore Plus! CD to

install the operating system. Refer to the “Restoring the Software” section

for more information on the Restore Plus! CD.

When the Welcome to Windows screen is displayed, the

Windows installation process is complete.

Step 7: Turn Off the Computer

To properly turn off the computer, first shut down the operating

system software. In Microsoft Windows XP Professional, click

Start > Shut Down. In Microsoft Windows XP Home, click

Start > Turn Off Computer. The computer automatically shuts

down.

Depending on the operating system, pressing the power button

causes the computer to enter a low-power or “standby” state

instead of automatically turning the power off. This allows you to

conserve energy without closing software applications; later, you

can start using the computer immediately without having to

restart the operating system and without losing any data.

To force the computer off manually and bypass the “standby”

state, press and hold the power button for four seconds.

ÄCAUTION: Manually forcing the computer off will cause the loss of any

unsaved data.

On some models, you can use the Computer Setup utility to

reconfigure the power button to work in on/off mode instead of

standby mode. Refer to the Computer Setup (F10) Utility Guide

on the Documentation and Diagnostics CD for more information

about using Computer Setup.
