any vents or air intakes. 8 Chapter 3 Setting up the computer
Setup procedures
Read this section to learn how to set up your computer. WARNING! To reduce the
risk of electric shock: Plug the power cord into an AC outlet that is easily
accessible at all times. If the power cord has a 3-pin attachment plug, plug
the cord into a grounded (earthed) 3-pin outlet. NOTE: If your computer
requires more than an 1100 W power supply, it might require more than the
typical office power can supply and might require you to check your site
infrastructure for wall connector compatibility. For details, see the Site
Preparation Guide at http://www.hp.com/support. Follow the instructions to
find your product, and then select Manuals. To set up the computer: 1. Connect
the monitor to the computer. 2. Plug the computer power cord and monitor power
cord into an AC outlet. 3. Connect the mouse and keyboard to the computer. 4.
Turn the computer on.
NOTE: Your computer does not turn on if the left cover is open or removed. 5.
Connect a network cable to the network jack or set up a WLAN connection via a
wireless router. 6. Connect other peripheral devices (such as a printer)
according to the instructions included with the
device.
Adding monitors
This section describes how to add monitors to your computer.
Planning for additional monitors
Read this section to learn what you need to know before adding monitors to
your computer. All graphics cards provided with HP Z-series computers support
two simultaneous-display monitors (see Connecting and Configuring monitors on
page 12). Cards that support more than two monitors are available. The process
for adding monitors depends on your graphics cards and the type and number of
monitors that you add. Use this process to plan for adding more monitors. 1.
Assess your monitor needs.
Determine how many monitors you require. Determine the kind of graphics
performance that you want.
Setup procedures 9
Note the type of graphics connector used by each monitor. HP provides graphics cards with DisplayPortTM (DP) and DVI-D interfaces, but you can use adapters and third-party cards to interface to other graphics formats, including DVI-I, HDMI, or VGA. TIP: Some adapters for older hardware might cost more than others. You might want to compare the cost of acquiring adapters with the cost of getting a newer monitor that doesn’t need adapters.
Determine whether you need additional graphics cards. See the graphics card documentation to determine how many monitors you can connect to the card. You might need to acquire adapters to match the card output to the monitor connector. See Matching graphics cards to monitor connectors on page 11. If necessary, acquire a new graphics card to support additional monitors. IMPORTANT: Newer generations of graphics cards support only digital output protocols. Traditional analog outputs (VGA, DVI-A, or DVI-I connected to a DVI-A monitor) can be connected only by using an active adapter. NOTE: Monitors with resolutions above 1920 × 1200 pixels at 60 Hz require a graphics card with either Dual Link DVI (DL-DVI) or DisplayPort output. To get native resolution with DVI, you must use a DL-DVI cable, not standard DVI-I or DVI-D cables.
HP computers do not support all graphics cards. Be sure that a new graphics card is supported before purchasing it. See Finding supported graphics cards on page 11. Some graphics cards support multiple monitors by multiplexing the monitor signal across multiple outputs. This setup might reduce graphics performance. See the graphics card documentation, or look up information about the card according to the procedure in Finding supported graphics cards on page 11. Be sure that the card outputs match the input required by the monitors. (See Identifying monitor connection requirements on page 12.) The different models of HP Z-series computers have different limits on the mechanical size, data speed, and power available for additional graphics cards. See the QuickSpecs for expansion card slot identification to be sure that a new graphics card will work for your computer.
To access the QuickSpecs, go to http://www.hp.com/go/quickspecs/. If you want
to add a new graphics card or cards:Determine which supported graphics card
best fits your needs in terms of number of monitors, compatibility with the
monitors, and performance. b. Be sure that you have the correct drivers for
the card. For HP-qualified drivers, go to http://www.hp.com/support, select
Software and Drivers, and then follow the on-screen instructions. c. Install
the graphics card according to the video instructions for your computer at
https://www.youtube.com/hpsupport.
10 Chapter 3 Setting up the computer
d. Configure the monitor. For details, see Windows® Help, or go to http://www.microsoft.com. For monitor setup in Linux®, you can often use the settings tool for the graphics cards (for example, NVIDIA® nvidia-settings). In some recent Linux releases, you must modify the window manager system (for example, Gnome 3) preferences. TIP: To simplify troubleshooting possible problems, enable the first monitor, and be sure that it works properly before you enable the next monitor.
Finding supported graphics cards
This section describes where information about graphics cards you can use is
located. To find information about graphics cards that are supported for your
computer: 1. Go to http://www.hp.com/go/quickspecs. 2. Select Search active
QuickSpecs, and then select Desktops & Workstations. 3. Choose your model to
view the specifications. 4. Select the link for Technical Specifications-
Graphics to display expanded technical information for

*For the USB Type-C port that your computer supports, see Computer features on page 4. NOTE: HP graphics cards typically do not include monitor cable adapters. DisplayPort connections have the highest performance; VGA connections have the lowest.
Identifying monitor connection requirements
Be sure that you meet these requirements before connecting monitors to your
computer. If the graphics card has four DisplayPort connectors, you can
connect a monitor to each connector. Use the proper adapters, if required. See
Matching graphics cards to monitor connectors on page 11 for more information
about the different graphics cards. MultiStream Transport (MST) is a method
used to connect multiple monitors to a single DisplayPort connector. Although
many NVIDIA graphics cards provide more than four monitor outputs, you can use
only four at a time. To connect to multiple ports simultaneously, you can use
MST. AMD® graphics cards support all available monitor outputs.
The maximum number of displays depends on the particular graphics card. Consult documentation for the graphics card and monitor for additional details. NOTE: You must use MST-capable displays or an MST-capable hub to connect displays in an MST configuration. See documentation for the graphics card and monitor for additional details.
Connecting and configuring monitors
Read this section to learn how to connect and configure monitors. NOTE: The
supported graphics cards typically allow at least two monitors, as shown in
this section; some supported cards allow more monitors. See the graphics card
documentation for details. NOTE: Your computer might look slightly different
from the illustration in this section.
Chapter 3 Setting up the computer
1. Connect the monitor cable adapters (if required) to the computer, and then
connect the appropriate monitor cables to the adapters or directly to the
graphics card.
2. Connect the other ends of the monitor cables to the monitors.
3. Connect one end of the monitor power cord to the monitor and the other end
to an AC outlet. 4. Configure the monitor. For details, see Windows Help or go
to http://www.microsoft.com.
For monitor setup in Linux, you can often use the settings tool for the
graphics cards (for example, NVIDIA nvidia-settings). In some recent Linux
releases, you must modify the window manager system (for example, Gnome 3)
preferences.
Using a third-party graphics configuration utility
Third-party graphics cards might include a monitor configuration utility. Upon
installation, this utility is integrated into the operating system. You can
select the utility and use it to configure multiple monitors with your
computer. See your graphics card documentation for details. NOTE: Some third-
party configuration utilities require that you enable the monitors in Windows
before using the configuration tool. See your graphics card documentation for
more information, and for graphics card drivers, go to
http://www.hp.com/support.

Open source graphics drivers
Most distributions of the Linux operating system support graphics hardware
through combinations of software technologies built into the kernel and
higher-level graphics applications such as display servers (Xorg, Wayland) and
display managers (Gnome, KDE). Graphics hardware performance depends upon
setup by the running kernel and timing information obtained by attached
display hardware. When the kernel cannot correctly calibrate its
initialization of graphics hardware to available display hardware, the results
can yield distorted or blank display screens. Interaction with open source
graphics drivers can occur during: Graphical interactive installation sessions
from downloaded Linux distribution media Use of Linux installations not
supplemented with vendor-proprietary graphics drivers In cases of unusable
display screens, HP recommends adding the nomodeset option to the kernel boot
parameters to suppress mode-setting driver behavior and prioritize the use of
alternate compatible display drivers. You can usually edit the persistent
inclusion of this parameter (in cases of the grub family of boot loaders) into
kernel boot parameters in configuration files usually found in:
/etc/default/grub. See your distribution’s documentation for boot loader
settings parameters.
NOTE: Some computer configurations might have graphics cards and CPUs with
native integrated graphics support. Some recent systems might enable
integrated graphics simultaneously with discrete graphics cards instead of
hiding the integrated options (a previously common operational mode). In this
case, some Linux installations might select the integrated graphics ports as
the default while consoles and displays that are connected to graphics cards
might look blank when started. To disable use of integrated graphics when
additional graphics cards are present, clear the Integrated Video option in
the Advanced / Built-In Device Options menu for the F10 Setup Menu of system
BIOS options.
Proprietary graphics drivers
Read this section to learn about proprietary graphics drivers. Most HP
computers can be ordered with graphics cards that have been through extensive
verification by HP. For a list of supported cards, see Linux Hardware Matrix
for HP Workstations at http://www.hp.com/support/linux_hardware_matrix. NOTE:
Not all graphics cards are supported on every computer. Limitations generally
occur for cards that consume large amounts of power in lower-power computers.
HP supports third-party proprietary graphics drivers. For drivers that have
been tested, go to http://www.hp.com/support, and follow the on-screen
instructions to find your product and locate the documentation.
Setting up Ubuntu 19
These proprietary drivers are not a standard part of the RHEL, SLED, or Ubuntu distributions because they are not open source. Driver revisions more recent than those at the HP support website are supported directly by the vendor. 20 Chapter 5 Setting up Linux

9 Computer operating guidelines, routine care, and shipping preparation
Follow these guidelines to ensure the best performance and useful life of your
computer.
Operating guidelines and routine care
HP has developed guidelines to help you properly set up and care for the
computer and monitor. Keep the computer away from excessive moisture, direct
sunlight, and extreme heat and cold. Operate the computer on a sturdy, level
surface. Leave a 10.2 cm (4 inch) clearance on all vented sides of
the computer and above the monitor to permit the required airflow. Never
restrict the airflow into the computer by blocking any vents or air intakes.
Do not place the
keyboard, with the keyboard feet down, directly against the front of the
desktop unit because this also restricts airflow. Never operate the computer
with the access panel or any of the expansion card slot covers removed.
Do not stack computers on top of each other or place computers so near each other that they are subject to each other’s recirculated or preheated air. To operate a computer within a separate enclosure, intake and exhaust ventilation must be provided on the enclosure, and the previous operating guidelines still apply. Keep liquids away from the computer and keyboard. Never cover the ventilation slots on the monitor with any type of material. Install or enable power management functions of the operating system or other software, including sleep states. Turn off the computer before you do either of the following tasks: Wipe the exterior of the computer with a soft, damp cloth as needed.
Cleaning products might
discolor or damage the finish. See Removing dirt and debris from your computer
on page 35 for the recommended steps to clean the high-touch, external
surfaces on your computer. After you remove the dirt and debris, you can also
clean the surfaces with a disinfectant. See Cleaning your computer with a
disinfectant on page 35 for guidelines to help prevent the spread of harmful
bacteria and viruses. Occasionally clean the air vents on all vented sides
of the computer. Lint, dust, and other foreign matter can block the vents and
limit the airflow.
Cleaning your computer
Cleaning your computer regularly removes dirt and debris so that your device
continues to operate at its best. Use the following information to safely
clean the external surfaces of your computer.
34 Chapter 9 Computer operating guidelines, routine care, and shipping
preparation

1. Wear disposable gloves made of latex (or nitrile gloves, if you are latex-
sensitive) when cleaning the surfaces.
2. Turn off your device and unplug the power cord and other connected
external devices. Remove any installed batteries from items such as wireless
keyboards. CAUTION: To prevent electric shock or damage to components, never
clean a product while it is turned on or plugged in.
3. Moisten a microfiber cloth with water. The cloth should be moist, but not
dripping wet. IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the surface, avoid abrasive cloths,
towels, and paper towels.
4. Wipe the exterior of the product gently with the moistened cloth.
IMPORTANT: Keep liquids away from the product. Avoid getting moisture in any
openings. If liquid makes its way inside your HP product, it can cause damage
to the product. Do not spray liquids directly on the product. Do not use
aerosol sprays, solvents, abrasives, or cleaners containing hydrogen peroxide
or bleach that might damage the finish.
5. Start with the display (if applicable). Wipe carefully in one direction,
and move from the top of the display to the bottom. Finish with any flexible
cables, like power cord, keyboard cable, and USB cables.
6. Be sure that surfaces have completely air-dried before turning the device
on after cleaning. 7. Discard the gloves after each cleaning. Clean your hands
immediately after you remove the gloves. See Cleaning your computer with a
disinfectant on page 35 for recommended steps to clean the high-touch,
external surfaces on your computer to help prevent the spread of harmful
bacteria and viruses.
Cleaning your computer with a disinfectant
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends cleaning surfaces, followed by
disinfection, as a best practice for preventing the spread of viral
respiratory illnesses and harmful bacteria.
After cleaning the external surfaces of your computer using the steps in
Removing dirt and debris from your computer on page 35, you might also choose
to clean the surfaces with a disinfectant. A disinfectant that is within HP’s
cleaning guidelines is an alcohol solution consisting of 70% isopropyl alcohol
and 30% water. This solution is also known as rubbing alcohol and is sold in
most stores. Follow these steps when disinfecting high-touch, external
surfaces on your computer: 1. Wear disposable gloves made of latex (or nitrile
gloves, if you are latex-sensitive) when cleaning the
surfaces. 2. Turn off your device and unplug the power cord and other
connected external devices. Remove any
installed batteries from items such as wireless keyboards. CAUTION: To prevent
electric shock or damage to components, never clean a product while it is
turned on or plugged in.
Removing dirt and debris from your computer 35
3. Moisten a microfiber cloth with a mixture of 70% isopropyl alcohol and 30%
water. The cloth should be moist, but not dripping wet. CAUTION: Do not use
any of the following chemicals or any solutions that contain them, including
spray-based surface cleaners: bleach, peroxides (including hydrogen peroxide),
acetone, ammonia, ethyl alcohol, methylene chloride, or any petroleum-based
materials, such as gasoline, paint thinner, benzene, or toluene. IMPORTANT: To
avoid damaging the surface, avoid abrasive cloths, towels, and paper towels.
4. Wipe the exterior of the product gently with the moistened cloth.
IMPORTANT: Keep liquids away from the product. Avoid getting moisture in any
openings. If liquid makes its way inside your HP product, it can cause damage
to the product. Do not spray liquids directly on the product. Do not use
aerosol sprays, solvents, abrasives, or cleaners containing hydrogen peroxide
or bleach that might damage the finish.
5. Start with the display (if applicable). Wipe carefully in one direction,
and move from the top of the display to the bottom. Finish with any flexible
cables, like power cord, keyboard cable, and USB cables.
6. Be sure that surfaces have completely air-dried before turning the device
on after cleaning. 7. Discard the gloves after each cleaning. Clean your hands
immediately after you remove the gloves.
Shipping preparation
If you have to ship your computer, follow these tips to keep your equipment
safe.
1. Back up the hard drive files to an external storage device. Be sure that
the backup media is not exposed to electrical or magnetic impulses while
stored or in transit. NOTE: The hard drive locks automatically when the system
power is turned off.
2. Remove and store all removable media. 3. Turn off the computer and
external devices. 4. Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet, and then
from the computer. 5. Disconnect the system components and external devices
from their power sources and then from the
computer. NOTE: Be sure that all boards are seated properly and secured in the

10 Electrostatic discharge
Electrostatic discharge is the release of static electricity when two objects
come into contact–for example, the shock you receive when you walk across the
carpet and touch a metal door knob. A discharge of static electricity from
fingers or other electrostatic conductors may damage electronic components.
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the computer, damage to a drive, or loss of
information, observe these precautions: If removal or installation
instructions direct you to unplug the computer, first be sure that it is
properly
grounded. Keep components in their electrostatic-safe containers until you are
ready to install them. Avoid touching pins, leads, and circuitry. Handle
electronic components as little as possible. Use nonmagnetic tools. Before
handling components, discharge static electricity by touching an unpainted
metal surface. If you remove a component, place it in an electrostatic-safe
container.

11 Accessibility
HP’s goal is to design, produce, and market products, services, and
information that everyone everywhere can use, either on a stand-alone basis or
with appropriate third-party assistive technology (AT) devices or
applications.
HP and accessibility
Because HP works to weave diversity, inclusion, and work/life into the fabric
of the company, it is reflected in everything HP does. HP strives to create an
inclusive environment focused on connecting people to the power of technology
throughout the world.
Finding the technology tools you need
Technology can unleash your human potential. Assistive technology removes
barriers and helps you create independence at home, at work, and in the
community. Assistive technology helps increase, maintain, and improve the
functional capabilities of electronic and information technology. For more
information, see Finding the best assistive technology on page 39.
The HP commitment
HP is committed to providing products and services that are accessible for
people with disabilities. This commitment supports the company’s diversity
objectives and helps ensure that the benefits of technology are available to
all. The HP accessibility goal is to design, produce, and market products and
services that can be effectively used by everyone, including people with
disabilities, either on a stand-alone basis or with appropriate assistive
devices. To achieve that goal, this Accessibility Policy establishes seven key
objectives to guide HP actions. All HP managers and employees are expected to
support these objectives and their implementation in accordance with their
roles and responsibilities: Raise the level of awareness of accessibility
issues within HP, and provide employees with the training
they need to design, produce, market, and deliver accessible products and
services. Develop accessibility guidelines for products and services, and hold
product development groups
accountable for implementing these guidelines where competitively,
technically, and economically feasible. Involve people with disabilities in
the development of accessibility guidelines and in the design and testing of
products and services. Document accessibility features, and make information
about HP products and services publicly available in an accessible form.
Establish relationships with leading assistive technology and solution
providers. Support internal and external research and development that
improves assistive technology relevant to HP products and services. Support
and contribute to industry standards and guidelines for accessibility.
38 Chapter 11 Accessibility
International Association of Accessibility Professionals (IAAP)
IAAP is a not-for-profit association focused on advancing the accessibility
profession through networking, education, and certification. The objective is
to help accessibility professionals develop and advance their careers and to
better enable organizations to integrate accessibility into their products and
infrastructure. As a founding member, HP joined to participate with other
organizations to advance the field of accessibility. This commitment supports
HP’s accessibility goal of designing, producing, and marketing products and
services that people with disabilities can effectively use. IAAP will make the
profession strong by globally connecting individuals, students, and
organizations to learn from one another. If you are interested in learning
more, go to http://www.accessibilityassociation.org to join the online
community, sign up for newsletters, and learn about membership options.
Finding the best assistive technology
Everyone, including people with disabilities or age-related limitations,
should be able to communicate, express themselves, and connect with the world
using technology. HP is committed to increasing accessibility awareness within
HP and with our customers and partners. Whether it’s large fonts that are easy
on the eyes, voice recognition that lets you give your hands a rest, or any
other assistive technology to help with your specific situation–a variety of
assistive technologies make HP products easier to use. How do you choose?
Assessing your needs
Technology can unleash your potential. Assistive technology removes barriers and helps you create independence at home, at work, and in the community. Assistive technology (AT) helps increase, maintain, and improve the functional capabilities of electronic and information technology. You can choose from many AT products. Your AT assessment should allow you to evaluate several products, answer your questions, and facilitate your selection of the best solution for your situation. You will find that professionals qualified to do AT assessments come from many fields, including those licensed or certified in physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech/language pathology, and other areas of expertise. Others, while not certified or licensed, can also provide evaluation information. You will want to ask about the individual’s experience, expertise, and fees to determine if they are appropriate for your needs.

Standards and legislation
Countries worldwide are enacting regulations to improve access to products and
services for persons with disabilities. These regulations are historically
applicable to telecommunications products and services, PCs and printers with
certain communications and video playback features, their associated user
documentation, and their customer support.
Standards
The US Access Board created Section 508 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation
(FAR) standards to address access to information and communication technology
(ICT) for people with physical, sensory, or cognitive disabilities. The
standards contain technical criteria specific to various types of
technologies, as well as performancebased requirements which focus on
functional capabilities of covered products. Specific criteria cover software
applications and operating systems, web-based information and applications,
computers, telecommunications products, video and multimedia, and self-
contained closed products.
Mandate 376 EN 301 549
The European Union created the EN 301 549 standard within Mandate 376 as an
online toolkit for public procurement of ICT products. The standard specifies
the accessibility requirements applicable to ICT products and services, with a
description of the test procedures and evaluation methodology for each
requirement.
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) from the W3C’s Web Accessibility
Initiative (WAI) helps web designers and developers create sites that better
meet the needs of people with disabilities or age-related limitations. WCAG
advances accessibility across the full range of web content (text, images,
audio, and video) and web applications. WCAG can be precisely tested, is easy
to understand and use, and allows web developers flexibility for innovation.
WCAG 2.0 has also been approved as ISO/IEC 40500:2012. WCAG specifically
addresses barriers to accessing the web experienced by people with visual,
auditory, physical, cognitive, and neurological disabilities, and by older web
users with accessibility needs. WCAG 2.0 provides characteristics of
accessible content: Perceivable (for instance, by addressing text alternatives
for images, captions for audio, adaptability of
presentation, and color contrast) Operable (by addressing keyboard access,
color contrast, timing of input, seizure avoidance, and
navigability) Understandable (by addressing readability, predictability, and
input assistance) Robust (for instance, by addressing compatibility with
assistive technologies)
Legislation and regulations
Accessibility of IT and information has become an area of increasing
legislative importance. These links provide information about key legislation,
regulations, and standards.
