Before removing the stand

To avoid injury and equipment damage when opening the HP TouchSmart PC, always complete the

following steps in order:

1. Remove any media and external devices (such as any CD, DVD, memory cards, USB devices, or

external hard disk drives) from the HP TouchSmart PC.

CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the HP TouchSmart PC or

optional equipment. Ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a

grounded metal object.

2. Tap the Windows Start button and then tap Shut Down.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury from electrical shock or hot surfaces,

disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet, and allow the internal system components to cool

before touching them.

3. After the system has completely shut down, disconnect the power adapter from the back of the

HP TouchSmart PC.

4. Disconnect all other attached cables from the back and side of the HP TouchSmart PC.

4. Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the recessed two brake screws (for the rails) on the computer.

It should take about 5–10 turns of the screwdriver to secure the screws. Take care not to

overtighten the screws.

that the computer does not slide down once it is mounted on a wall. These screws must be tighten

before placing the VESA adapter plate on the back of the computer.

5. While the stand is still on the computer, use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the four screws

attaching the VESA adapter plate to the bottom of the computer stand. Save the screws.
