Using the Small Form Factor Computer in a
Minitower Configuration
The Small Form Factor computer can be used in either a minitower or
desktop configuration. To use it in the minitower configuration, you
must purchase a tower stand from HP (part number 316593-001).
Ä
CAUTION: If the computer is in the desktop configuration, ensure at
least 4 inches (10.2 cm) of space on all sides of the computer remains
clear and free of obstructions.
To install the tower stand:
1. Rotate the computer into the tower position 1 and align the hole
at the base of the computer with the post and thumbscrew in the
stand 2.
2. Tighten the screw to secure the computer to the stand 3. This
adds stability and helps to ensure proper airflow to the internal
components.
