3.2 System Recovery

The computer system recovery process provides several ways to recover optimal system functionality. For best results, attempt to recover optimal computer functionality by using the following procedures in the order described here.

Safeguarding Your Data

Software or devices added to the computer can cause your system to become unstable. To safeguard your documents, store personal files in the My Documents folder and periodically create a backup copy of the My Documents folder.
Using Altiris Local Recovery
Altiris Local Recovery is a preloaded application that protects the files on your computer by storing copies of files, called snapshots. If files on your computer are accidentally deleted or corrupted, you can easily restore the files yourself. You can also restore your complete file system to a previous state. Altiris Local Recovery provides protection of files by backing up files to a hidden Altiris recovery partition. When you install the software, the Recovery Agent Partition Wizard guides you through the process of creating the recovery partition. After the partition is created, the computer restarts and creates the first snapshot. After the snapshot is created, the computer restarts, making the snapshot available for recovery through Windows. By default, Local Recovery automatically takes snapshots of your files on a regular basis. You can change the snapshot schedule. For more information, refer to the Altiris Local Recovery Help. To access your snapshots in the Altiris Recovery Agent folder: 1. Right-click the Altiris Recovery Agent icon on your desktop. 2. Click Open. To restore one of the listed snapshots, drag the snapshot file to the appropriate location on your hard drive. For more information on configuring and using Altiris Local Recovery, visit the HP Web site at http://www.hp.com/go/easydeploy, or open the software and click Help on the menu bar.

Removal and Replacement Preliminaries
This chapter provides essential information for proper and safe removal and replacement service.

5.1 Tools Required

You will need the following tools to complete the removal and replacement procedures: Magnetic screwdriver Phillips P0 screwdriver Torx T8 screwdriver 5.0-mm socket for system board locks Flat-bladed screwdriver Tool kitincludes connector removal tool, loopback plugs, and case utility tool
5.2 Service Considerations
The following sections include some of the considerations that you should keep in mind during disassembly and assembly procedures.

As you remove each subassembly from the computer, place the subassembly (and all accompanying screws) away from
the work area to prevent damage.

Plastic Parts

Using excessive force during disassembly and reassembly can damage plastic parts. Use care when handling the plastic parts. Apply pressure only at the points designated in the maintenance instructions.

Cables and Connectors

CAUTION: When servicing the computer, ensure that cables are placed in their proper locations during the reassembly process. Improper cable placement can damage the computer.
Cables must be handled with extreme care to avoid damage. Apply only the tension required to unseat or seat the cables during removal and insertion. Handle cables by the connector whenever possible. In all cases, avoid bending, twisting, or tearing cables. Ensure that cables are routed in such a way that they cannot be caught or snagged by parts being removed or replaced. Handle flex cables with extreme care; these cables tear easily.
5.3 Preventing Damage to Removable Drives
Removable drives are fragile components that must be handled with care. To prevent damage to the computer, damage to a removable drive, or loss of information, observe the following precautions: Before removing or inserting a hard drive, shut down the computer. If you are unsure whether the computer is off or in hibernation, turn the computer on, and then shut it down through the operating system. Before removing a diskette drive or optical drive, ensure that a diskette or disc is not in the drive and ensure that the optical drive tray is closed. Before handling a drive, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity. While handling a drive, avoid touching the connector. Handle drives on surfaces covered with at least one inch of shock-proof foam. Avoid dropping drives from any height onto any surface. After removing a hard drive, an optical drive, or a diskette drive, place it in a static-proof bag. Avoid exposing a hard drive to products that have magnetic fields, such as monitors or speakers. Avoid exposing a drive to temperature extremes or liquids. If a drive must be mailed, place the drive in a bubble pack mailer or other suitable form of protective packaging and label the package FRAGILE: Handle With Care.
5.4 Preventing Electrostatic Damage
Many electronic components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Circuitry design and structure determine the degree of sensitivity. Networks built into many integrated circuits provide some protection, but in many cases, the discharge contains enough power to alter device parameters or melt silicon junctions. A sudden discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor can destroy static-sensitive devices or microcircuitry. Often the spark is neither felt nor heard, but damage occurs. An electronic device exposed to electrostatic discharge may not be affected at all and can work perfectly throughout a normal cycle. Or the device may function normally for a while, then degrade in the internal layers, reducing its life expectancy.
