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 userserviceable 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

are able to hear comfortably and clearly, without distortion, leave the volume in that
position.

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
Thigh
Clearance
≥6cm
Keyboard
Height
64-76 cm
•
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
6
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.
•
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.
Overall
7
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, antiglare 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.

uncompressed digital audio. For example, one
minute of stereo sound recorded at a
resolution of 44 kHz will occupy about 10.5
MB.
How
• Before recording, check that there is enough free
space on your hard disk.
• Data compression can reduce the space required.
The A-law and m-law hardware compression used
by the audio interface enables the sampling of
sound at a resolution of 16-bits, but it generates
the same quantity of data as an 8-bit sample.

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 Self Test (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.

HP Hardware Diagnostics (e-DiagTools)
HP Hardware Diagnostics (e-DiagTools)
Note
HP strongly recommends you use e-DiagTools. It provides the most effective way of solving
most hardware problems. It can also help you distinguish between a hardware and a software
problem.
What Is e-DiagTools For?
With e-DiagTools, you can:
• check the configuration of your PC and see whether it is functioning
correctly
• diagnose hardware-related problems
• provide precise information to support personnel so that they can solve
your problems quickly and efficiently.
How Do I Run e-DiagTools?
You can run e-DiagTools from:
• The Utility Partition on your PC’s hard drive.
To run diagnostics from the hard drive, restart the PC and press F10
when the message Press F10 to start hardware
diagnostics...or any other key to proceed appears on
screen.
• Your PC’s HP Brio Assist CD-ROM - Drivers & Utilities. Refer to “HP
Brio Assist CD-ROM” below.

HP Brio Assist CD-ROM
HP Brio Assist CD-ROM
Your PC comes with two HP Brio Assist CD-ROMs (Windows 98 version)
or three (Windows 2000 version):
• HP Brio Assist CD-ROM - System Recovery (1 or 2 CDs)
• HP Brio Assist CD-ROM - Drivers & Utilities (1 CD)
HP Brio Assist CD-ROM - System Recovery
Use this CD-ROM to:
• perform a full system recovery
• replace Windows 2000 with Windows NT 4.0 (feature available in some
countries only)
HP Brio Assist CD-ROM - Drivers & Utilities
Use this CD-ROM to:
• reinstall individual device drivers or utilities
• run e-DiagTools hardware diagnostics.
Using the HP Brio Assist CD-ROMs
To use the HP Brio Assist CD-ROMs, you must either:
• boot the PC from the CD-ROM
• browse the CD-ROM while the PC is running.
Note
If the PC does not boot from the HP Brio Assist CD-ROM - System Recovery, you must change
the order of devices from which your PC tries to start up. To do so, restart your PC and press
F2 when prompted to enter the HP Setup program. Change the Boot Device Priority in the
Setup program Boot menu so that ATAPI CD-ROM Drive appears before Hard Drive (refer to
“Support and Information Services” on page 45).
Performing a Full System Recovery or Alternative OS Installation
You can use the HP Brio Assist CD-ROM - System Recovery to recover
the PC’s factory supplied configuration by restoring the operating system
(OS), drivers and HP supplied applications. This will return the PC’s
software configuration to a state similar to when the PC was originally
shipped.
In some countries on Windows 2000 models, you can also replace the
preloaded Windows 2000 operating system with Windows NT 4.0.
43
HP Brio Assist CD-ROM
Note
Restoring the original factory configuration or downgrading will completely erase the main hard
drive partition. It is highly recommended to (a) back up all your data before proceeding, (b)
remove all devices you have added, (c) update your PC’s BIOS (refer to page 76) and (d) have
driver software to hand for any add-on hardware. The whole process normally takes about half
an hour.
If you intend to replace your Windows 2000 operating system with Windows NT 4.0, you
should check that you will still be able to use your system as intended. For example, Windows
NT 4.0 does not support Power Management or USB. If you need to use a USB device, then you
should not perform this operation.
1 Insert the HP Brio Assist CD-ROM - System Recovery in your CD-ROM
drive and restart your PC.
2 From the main menu, select the operating system you want to install.
3 Follow the onscreen instructions.
When the copy operation is complete a message will appear. Remove
the CD-ROM and restart the PC.
4 Reinstall drivers for any devices that were not part of your PC’s original
configuration. All data files and software applications that were not part
of your PC’s original configuration PC must also be restored.
Manually Reinstalling Drivers
1 Insert the HP Brio Assist CD-ROM - Drivers & Utilities in the CD-ROM
drive while your operating system is running.
2 Using Windows Explorer, select the driver(s) you need to reinstall.
3 Follow the installation instructions contained in the README file
accompanying the driver.

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.).
72
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.
73
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

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.
