System Overview

Specifications

Physical Characteristics

NOTE Operating temperature and humidity ranges may vary depending on the mass storage devices installed. High humidity

levels can cause improper operation of disk drives. Low humidity ranges can aggravate static electricity problems and

cause excessive wear of the disk surface.

The power consumption and acoustics figures given in the tables above are valid for the standard configuration as shipped.

For more information, refer to the product’s data sheet at HP’s web site: www.hp.com/desktops.

When the computer is turned off with the power button on the front panel, the power consumption falls below 10W, but

it is not zero. The special on/off method used by these computers considerably extends the lifetime of the power supply.

To reach zero power consumption in “off” mode, either unplug the power outlet or use a power block with a switch.
