Audio-out (headphone)/Audio-in (microphone) combo jack (disabled from factory, enabled through system BIOS) HP Video Ingest Module The Video Ingest Module is required for the Microsoft SRS. This module enables a video source to be connected to the SRS. The Video Ingest Module does not support Intel Unite software.
HP Wireless Display Module (optional) The Elite Slice G2 may be ordered with the optional Wireless Display Module. The wireless receiver transceiver included with the module can be attached to a display. The Wireless Display Module can transmit a signal up to 10 meters to the transceiver in the room.
HP Optical Disc Drive (ODD) Module (optional) The ODD Module (available as an after-market option) may be ordered to add optical drive functionality. Additional optical drive modules may be connected to an Elite Slice G2 configuration, depending upon the power supply and the total number of powered modules.
Regulatory information and serial number location Each computer has a unique serial number and a product ID number laser-etched on the base cover of the Elite Slice G2. A copy of these labels is inside the case. Keep these numbers available for use when contacting support for assistance.
Setup Connecting or removing modules Additional modules may be connected to the Elite Slice G2. Modules should be attached to the base module in the following order, from top to bottom: Video Ingest Module (required for the Microsoft SRS only) ●...
Align the module connection port on the underside of the Elite Slice G2 with the module expansion connector on the new module and press the computer down firmly. You should hear a quiet click when the modules lock together. The module locks into place and hides the release latch of the module above it.

Slide the quick release latch on the back of the VESA Plate to the locked position to lock all modules together. CAUTION: There are four tabs in the VESA Plate. When you position the Elite Slice G2 configuration correctly onto the VESA Plate and slide the quick release latch to the locked position, the four tabs lock the VESA Plate to the Elite Slice G2 assembly.
Removing modules CAUTION: Before disconnecting modules, turn off the Elite Slice G2 and disconnect it from any AC power source. Modules cannot be “hot-plugged” or “hot-swapped.” Modules must be removed one at a time, starting at the bottom. Removing the bottom module exposes the release latch of the module above it.
NOTE: HP highly recommends that you secure the Elite Slice G2 assembly by attaching a security cable to the rear of the VESA Plate. This stops the quick release latch from being moved to the unlocked position and prevents accidental release of the modules.
The security cable is designed to act as a deterrent, but it may not prevent the computer from being mishandled or stolen. Connecting AC power The Elite Slice G2 employs the HP Cable and Port Cover to supply power to the elements of the conferencing solution. Connect the Cable and Port Cover to the Elite Slice G2: Pull the port cover down (1) to expose the cable connectors.
Microsoft Skype Room System (SRS) conferencing solution The SRS ships with Microsoft SRS software, HP Elite Slice G2, HP Center of Room Control (CoRC), HP Video Ingest Module, and HP Cable and Port Cover. The HP Wireless Display Module and HP VESA mount are optional.

TIP: When routing cables under a table or other surface, cable guides, shown in red above, should be used to minimize stress on the cables. Connect the Video Ingest Module (required) to the Elite Slice G2. Connect additional modules, if desired, to the Elite Slice G2. Place the Elite Slice G2 in a central location.

Insert a rubber plug at the cable exit point (3) to secure the cable. Remove the CoRC back cover from the shipping box (4) and attach it to the back of the CoRC (5). If the Wireless Display Module is installed, perform the following steps to install the wireless receiver transceiver: NOTE: The transceiver must face the front of the Wireless Display Module.
Page 22
Connect the transceiver to the HDMI port and a powered USB port on the display (3). Alternatively, use the two included screws to mount the transceiver VESA plate (1) onto a wall or table, and then press the transceiver firmly onto the plate (2) until it clicks into place. To remove the transceiver from the VESA plate, slide the release button on the VESA plate.

Connect the wireless receiver transceiver to the HDMI port and a powered USB port on the display (3). TIP: For the best performance, be sure the line of sight between the wireless receiver transceiver and the Wireless Display Module is optimal. To connect a display without the Wireless Display Module, perform the following steps: Connect a display power cord to an AC outlet (1).

Removing and replacing the access panel Removing the access panel The Elite Slice G2 access panel must be removed to access the solid state drive (SSD) and system memory modules. Remove the Elite Slice G2 from any additional modules. For instructions, see Removing modules on page Place the computer upside down on a flat surface covered with a soft cloth to protect the computer from scratches or other damage.
Replacing the access panel Place the Elite Slice G2 upside down on a flat surface covered with a soft cloth. Align the access panel with the computer so that the module connection port is clearly visible through the opening in the access panel. Tighten the four captive screws to secure the access panel to the computer.
SODIMMs constructed with x8 and x16 devices ● NOTE: To avoid compatibility issues, HP recommends that you use only HP memory modules in this computer. The system will not operate properly if you install unsupported DIMM memory. DIMMs constructed with x4 SDRAM are not supported.
Populating memory module slots There are two memory module slots, one slot per channel. The slots are labeled DIMM1 and DIMM3. The DIMM1 slot operates in memory channel B. The DIMM3 slot operates in memory channel A. Item Description System Board Label Slot Color Memory 1 slot, Channel B DIMM1...
Installing system memory modules IMPORTANT: You must disconnect the AC power cord and wait approximately 30 seconds for the power to drain before adding or removing memory modules. Regardless of the power-on state, voltage is always supplied to the memory modules as long as the computer is plugged into an active AC outlet. Adding or removing memory modules while voltage is present may cause irreparable damage to the memory modules or system board.

Insert the new memory module into the slot at approximately a 30° angle (1), and then press the memory module (2) into the slot so that the latches lock it in place. NOTE: A memory module can be installed in only one way. Match the notch on the module with the tab on the memory module slot.
Removing and replacing an SSD NOTE: Back up the SSD before you remove it so that you can transfer the data to the new SSD. To add an SSD instead of replacing one, purchase a 4-screw after-market option kit to obtain the screws required to mount the drive.

Set the new SSD (1) into the cage. Be sure the label side of the SSD is visible. Fasten the four screws (2) to secure the SSD in the cage. Connect the power-and-data cable (1) to the SSD. Set the drive cage (2) in the chassis. Be sure that the SSD connectors are facing the back of the chassis. Align the drive cage tabs with the screw posts in the chassis and fasten the four screws (3) to secure the SSD.
● 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 on static electricity, contact an HP authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider.
