    4 Removal and replacement procedures preliminary requirements

    Use this information to properly prepare to disassemble and reassemble the computer.

    Tools required

    You need the following tools to complete the removal and replacement procedures:

  • ● Tweezers
  • ● Nonconductive, nonmarking pry tool
  • ● Magnetic Phillips P1 screwdriver
  • Page 32

    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

    Using excessive force during disassembly and reassembly can damage plastic parts.

    Cables and connectors Handle cables with extreme care to avoid damage. IMPORTANT: 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. 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 so that they cannot be caught or snagged as you remove or replace parts. Handle flex cables with extreme care; these cables tear easily.

    | | |---|

    #### Drive handling

    Note the following guidelines when handling drives.

    Tools required 27

    Page 33

    | | |---|

    IMPORTANT: Drives are fragile components. Handle them 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 an optical drive, be sure that a disc is not in the drive, and be sure that the optical drive tray is closed. Handle drives on surfaces covered with at least 2.54 cm (1 inch) of shock-proof foam. Avoid dropping drives from any height onto any surface. After removing a hard drive or an optical 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.”

    Electrostatic discharge information

    A sudden discharge of static electricity from your finger or other conductor can destroy static-sensitive devices or microcircuitry. Often the spark is neither felt nor heard, but damage occurs. An electronic device exposed to electrostatic discharge (ESD) might not appear to be affected at all and can work perfectly throughout a normal cycle. The device might function normally for a while, but it has been degraded in the internal layers, reducing its life expectancy.

    Networks built into many integrated circuits provide some protection, but in many cases, the discharge contains enough power to alter device parameters or melt silicon junctions.

    | | |---|

    IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the device when you remove or install 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 Personal grounding methods and equipment on page 29. 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.

    #### Generating static electricity

    Follow these static electricity guidelines.

  • ● Different activities generate different amounts of static electricity.
  • ● Static electricity increases as humidity decreases. Table 4-1 Static electricity occurrence based on activity and humidity

    #### Preventing electrostatic damage to equipment

    Many electronic components are sensitive to ESD. Circuitry design and structure determine the degree of sensitivity. The following packaging and grounding precautions are necessary to prevent static electricity damage to electronic components.

  • ● To avoid hand contact, transport products in static-safe containers such as tubes, bags, or boxes.
  • ● Protect all electrostatic parts and assemblies with conductive or approved containers or packaging.
  • ● Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free stations.
  • ● Place items on a grounded surface before removing them from their container.
  • ● Always be properly grounded when touching a sensitive component or assembly.
  • ● Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.
  • ● Place reusable electrostatic-sensitive parts from assemblies in protective packaging or conductive foam.
  • #### Personal grounding methods and equipment

    Using certain equipment can prevent static electricity damage to electronic components.

    Page 36

  • ● Wrist straps are flexible straps with a maximum of 1 MΩ ±10% resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, a strap must be worn snug against bare skin. The ground cord must be connected and fit snugly into the banana plug connector on the grounding mat or workstation.
  • ● Heel straps/Toe straps/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 them on both feet with a maximum of 1 MΩ ±10% resistance between the operator and ground. Table 4-2 Static shielding protection levels

    #### Grounding the work area

    To prevent static damage at the work area, follow these precautions.

  • ● Cover the work surface with approved static-dissipative material.
  • ● Use a wrist strap connected to a properly grounded work surface and use properly grounded tools and equipment.
  • ● Use static-dissipative mats, foot straps, or air ionizers to give added protection.
  • ● Handle electrostatic sensitive components, parts, and assemblies by the case or PCB laminate. Handle them only at static-free work areas.
  • ● Turn off power and input signals before inserting and removing connectors or test equipment.
  • ● Use fixtures made of static-safe materials when fixtures must directly contact dissipative surfaces.
  • ● Keep the work area free of nonconductive materials, such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and polystyrene foam.
  • ● Use conductive field service tools, such as cutters, screwdrivers, and vacuums.
  • ● Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.
  • Page 37

    #### Recommended materials and equipment

    HP recommends certain materials and equipment to prevent static electricity.

  • ● Antistatic tape
  • ● Antistatic smocks, aprons, or sleeve protectors
  • ● Conductive bins and other assembly or soldering aids
  • ● Conductive foam
  • ● Conductive tabletop workstations with ground cord of 1 MΩ ±10% resistance
  • ● Static-dissipative table or floor mats with hard tie to ground

    11 Statement of memory volatility

    Page 95

    For general information regarding nonvolatile memory in HP business computers, and to restore nonvolatile memory that can contain personal data after the system has been turned off and the hard drive has been removed, use these instructions.

    HP business computer products that use Intel®-based or AMD®-based system boards contain volatile DDR memory. The amount of nonvolatile memory present in the system depends upon the system configuration. Intel-based and AMD-based system boards contain nonvolatile memory subcomponents as originally shipped from HP, with the following assumptions:

  • ● No subsequent modifications were made to the system.
  • ● No applications, features, or functionality were added to or installed on the system.
  • Following system shutdown and removal of all power sources from an HP business computer system, personal data can remain on volatile system memory (DIMMs) for a finite period of time and also remains in nonvolatile memory. Use the following steps to remove personal data from the computer, including the nonvolatile memory found in Intel-based and AMD-based system boards.

    Questions and answers

    Use this section to answer your questions about nonvolatile memory.

  • 1. How can the BIOS settings be restored (returned to factory settings)?
  • IMPORTANT: The restore defaults feature does not securely erase any information on your hard drive. See question and answer 6 for steps to securely erase information. The restore defaults feature does not reset the Custom Secure Boot keys. See question and answer 7 for information about resetting the keys.

    a. Turn on or restart the computer, and then quickly press esc. b. Select Main, and then select Apply Factory Defaults and Exit. c. Follow the on-screen instructions. d. Select Main, select Save Changes and Exit, and then follow the on-screen instructions.

  • 2. What is a UEFI BIOS, and how is it different from a legacy BIOS?
  • The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) BIOS is an industry-standard software interface between the platform firmware and an operating system (OS). It replaces the older BIOS architecture but supports much of the legacy BIOS functionality.

    Like the legacy BIOS, the UEFI BIOS provides an interface to display the system information and configuration settings and to change the configuration of your computer before an OS is loaded. BIOS provides a secure runtime environment that supports a Graphic User Interface (GUI). In this environment, you can use either a pointing device (touch screen, touchpad, pointing stick, or USB mouse) or the keyboard to navigate and make menu and configuration selections. The UEFI BIOS also contains basic system diagnostics.

    The UEFI BIOS provides functionality beyond that of the legacy BIOS. In addition, the UEFI BIOS works to initialize the computer’s hardware before loading and executing the OS; the runtime environment allows the loading and execution of software programs from storage devices to provide more functionality, such as advanced hardware diagnostics (with the ability to display more detailed system information) and advanced firmware management and recovery software.

    HP has provided options in Computer Setup (BIOS) to allow you to run in legacy BIOS, if required by the operating system. Examples of this requirement would be if you upgrade or downgrade the OS.

  • 3. Where is the UEFI BIOS located? The UEFI BIOS is located on a flash memory chip. You must use a utility to write to the chip.
  • 4. What kind of configuration data is stored on the DIMM Serial Presence Detect (SPD) memory module? How would this data be written?
  • Page 104

    The DIMM SPD memory contains information about the memory module, such as size, serial number, data width, speed and timing, voltage, and thermal information. This information is written by the module manufacturer and stored on an EEPROM. You cannot write to this EEPROM when the memory module is installed in a computer. Third-party tools do exist that can write to the EEPROM when the memory module is not installed in a computer. Various third-party tools are available to read SPD memory.

  • 5. What is meant by “Restore the nonvolatile memory found in Intel-based system boards”?
  • This message relates to clearing the Real Time Clock (RTC) CMOS memory that contains computer configuration data.

  • 6. How can the BIOS security be reset to factory defaults and erase the data?

    IMPORTANT: Resetting results in the loss of information.

    These steps do not reset Custom Secure Boot Keys. See question and answer 7 for information about resetting the keys.

    a. Turn on or restart the computer, and then quickly press esc. b. Select Main, and then select Reset Security to Factory Defaults. c. Follow the on-screen instructions. d. Select Main, select Save Changes and Exit, and then follow the on-screen instructions.

    ###### 7. How can the Custom Secure Boot Keys be reset?

    Page 105

    Secure Boot is a feature to ensure that only authenticated code can start on a platform. If you enabled Secure Boot and created Custom Secure Boot Keys, disabling Secure Boot does not clear the keys. You must also select to clear the Custom Secure Boot Keys. Use the same Secure Boot access procedure that you used to create the Custom Secure Boot Keys, but select to clear or delete all Secure Boot Keys.

  • a. Turn on or restart the computer, and then quickly press esc.
  • b. Select the Security menu, select Secure Boot Configuration, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
  • c. At the Secure Boot Configuration window, select Secure Boot, select Clear Secure Boot Keys, and then follow the on-screen instructions to continue.
  • Using HP Sure Start (select products only)

    Select computer models are configured with HP Sure Start, a technology that continuously monitors your computer's BIOS for attacks or corruption.

    If the BIOS becomes corrupted or is attacked, HP Sure Start restores the BIOS to its previously safe state, without user intervention. Those select computer models ship with HP Sure Start configured and enabled. HP Sure Start is configured and already enabled so that most users can use the HP Sure Start default configuration. Advanced users can customize the default configuration.
