Location and ventilation

Proper ventilation for the system is important for workstation operation. To ensure adequate ventilation:

●

Operate the workstation on a sturdy, level surface.

●

Provide at least:

◦

12 cm (4.7 in) clearance at the front, back, top, and bottom of the workstation

◦

16 cm (6.3 in) clearance on the right side for the optical drive

●

Ensure that the ambient air temperature surrounding the workstation falls within the specified limits

(see

Environmental specifications on page 10).

●

Never restrict the incoming or outgoing airflow of the workstation by blocking any vents or air

intakes.

Setting up the workstation

Setup procedure

1. The HP Z1 Workstation weighs 21.3 kg (47.0 lbs.) and must be removed from the box by two

people.

WARNING! If a product is shipped in packaging marked with this icon , the product must

always be lifted by two people to avoid personal injury due to product weight.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment:

— Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) AC power outlet.

— Do not disable the power cord grounding pin (for example, by attaching a two-pin adapter).

The grounding pin is an important safety feature.

— To disconnect power from the workstation, unplug the power cord from the grounded AC

outlet.

2. Push the unit down firmly to the lowest horizontal position to release the green button in the stand.

CAUTION: Never open the unit unless it is in the lowest horizontal position. Otherwise, system

components may be damaged.

Figure 3-1 Push down to release green button
