1 Product features
Standard features
Thank you for purchasing an HP Compaq thin client. We hope you have years of use from our t5135 or t5530 thin clients. Our goal is to provide you with award-winning clients that are easy to deploy and manage with the power and reliability you expect.
HP has partnered with Altiris to manage HP Compaq thin clients. Altiris Deployment Solution is a leadingedge tool to help with quick deployment and for ongoing management of the thin clients in your organization. Each HP Compaq thin client is recognized by the Altiris Deployment Solution as a supported device. As a result, you need not track license compliancy for each device. For additional information about the Altiris Deployment Solution tool, refer to the Altiris Deployment Solution insert that shipped with the thin client and the Deployment Solution User Guide that is available at http://www.altiris.com/documentation.
The next sections describe the features of the thin client. For a complete list of the hardware and software installed on a specific model, visit http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/thinclients/index.html and search for a specific thin client model.
The following features are common to all HP thin clients:
- no moving parts
- no hard drives or diskette drives
- 5-minute setup time
- central deployment and management using Altiris Deployment Solution
Various options are available for your thin client. For more information about available options, visit the HP Web site at http://h30143.www3.hp.com/configure2.cfm

5 Mounting the thin client
HP Quick Release
The HP Compaq t5135/t5530 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 industry-standard 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.
NOTE: When mounting, use the 10 mm screws supplied with the Quick Release Kit.
Figure 5-1 HP Quick Release
To use the HP Quick Release with a VESA-configured thin client:
-
Using four 10 mm screws included in the mounting device kit, attach one side of the HP Quick Release to the thin client as shown in the following illustration.
Figure 5-2 Connecting the HP Quick Release to the thin client -
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 5-3 Connecting the HP Quick Release to another device
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.
Figure 5-4 Connecting the thin client NOTE: When attached, the HP Quick
Release automatically locks in position. You only need to slide the lever to
one side to remove the thin client.
CAUTION: To ensure proper function of the HP Quick Release and a secure connection of all components, make sure both the release lever on one side of the mounting device and the rounded opening on the other side face upward.

7 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.
- Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
- Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
- Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.
Grounding methods
There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:
- Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded Thin Client chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm +/- 10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper grounding, wear the strap snug against the skin.
- Use heelstraps, toestraps, or bootstraps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.
- Use conductive field service tools.
- Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.
If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, contact an HP authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider.
NOTE: For more information about static electricity, contact an HP authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider.
8 Shipping information
Shipping preparation
Follow these suggestions when preparing to ship the thin client:
- Turn off the thin client and external devices.
- Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet, then from the thin client.
- Disconnect the system components and external devices from their power sources, then from the thin client.
- Pack the system components and external devices in their original packing boxes or similar packaging with sufficient packing material to protect them.
NOTE: For environmental nonoperating ranges, see Specifications on page 13.
Important service repair information
In all cases, remove and safeguard all external options before returning the thin client to HP for repair or exchange.
In countries that support customer mail-in repair by returning the same unit to the customer, HP makes every effort to return the repaired unit with the same internal memory and flash modules that were sent.
In countries that do not support customer mail-in repair by returning the same unit to the customer, all internal options should be removed and safeguarded in addition to the external options. The thin client should be restored to the original configuration before returning it to HP for repair.
