be a minimum of 1.00 mm2 or 18 AWG, and the length of the cord must be between 1.8 m (6
ft) and 3.6 m (12 ft). If you have questions about the type of power cord to use, contact an
HP-authorized service provider.
NOTE:
Route power cords so that they will not be walked on and cannot be pinched by items
placed upon or against them. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point
where the cords exit from the product.
Japanese Power Cord notice
Electrostatic discharge
To prevent damage to the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting
up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor
could damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage could reduce
the life expectancy of the device.
Preventing electrostatic discharge
To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:
•
Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
•
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
•
Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
•
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
•
Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.
Grounding methods
There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling
or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:
•
Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis.
Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm 10 percent resistance in the
ground cords. To provide proper grounding, wear the strap snug against the skin.
•
Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both
feet when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.
•
Use conductive field service tools.
•
Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.
If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an authorized
reseller install the part.
