C Mounting the Thin Client HP Quick Release This thin client incorporates four mounting points on each side of the unit. These mounting points follow the VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) standard, which provides industrystandard mounting interfaces for Flat Displays (FDs), such as flat panel monitors, flat displays, and flat TVs. The HP Quick Release connects to the VESA-standard mounting points, allowing you to mount the thin client in a variety of orientations.
2. Using four screws included in the mounting device kit, attach the other side of the HP Quick Release to the device to which you will mount the thin client. Make sure the release lever points upward. Figure C-3 Connecting the HP Quick Release to another device 3. Slide the side of the mounting device attached to the thin client (1) over the other side of the mounting device (2) on the device on which you want to mount the thin client. An audible 'click' indicates a secure connection.
Supported Mounting Options The following illustrations demonstrate some of the supported and not supported mounting options for the mounting bracket.

Supported Orientations HP supports the following orientations for the thin client. CAUTION: You must adhere to HP-supported orientations to ensure your thin clients function properly.
Non-supported Orientation HP does not support the following orientation for the thin client. CAUTION: Non-supported placement of thin clients could result in operation failure and/or damage to the devices. CAUTION: Thin clients require proper ventilation to maintain operating temperature. Do not block the vents. Do not put thin clients in drawers or other sealed enclosures. Do not place a monitor or other object on top of the thin client.
E Electrostatic Discharge A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device. Preventing Electrostatic Damage 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.
