The HP Compaq Elite 8300 and the HP Compaq Pro 6300 are equipped with either a tilt/swivel
stand or with a height adjustable and reclining stand.
With the tilt/swivel stand, you can tilt the computer away from you and toward you, and you
can swivel the computer left and right.
With the height adjustable and reclining stand, you can adjust the height, the swivel, the
tilt, and you can rotate the computer from landscape to portrait.
This video describes how to use each type of stand.
To prevent computer cables from interfering with the stand, you can route them through
the cable guide attached to the stand.
With the computer turned off, remove the rear port cover located on the back of the computer.
Put your fingers inside the open edge of the cover and place your thumbs on the ridges.
Pull down with your thumbs and out with your fingers.
Locate the opening on the bottom of the stand.
Put the cables together, route them through the stand opening, and plug them into the
ports.
A cable management cover hooks to slots on the stand and holds the cables in place.
Make sure the cables are between the cable management cover and the stand. Align the
cover hooks with the slots in the stand, and then insert the cover and slide it down into
place.
You can swivel your computer up to 360 degrees left or right.
To swivel your computer, hold each side of the computer and press left or right until
the computer is at the best viewing angle.
You can set your computer at a comfortable angle by adjusting the tilt.
To tilt the computer, hold the top and the bottom and push to adjust the computer until the
tilt is where you want it.
To keep the computer cables out of the way, you can route them through the cable guide
designed for this stand.
The cable guide is attached to the side of the stand.
Put the cables together and route them through the guide.
Pull the cables along the lower front of the stand and plug them into the rear ports.
You can swivel your computer up to 360 degrees left or right.
To swivel your computer, hold each side of the computer and push left or right until
the computer is at the best viewing angle.
You can adjust the height of your computer up to 110 millimeters.
To lower the computer, hold the sides of the computer and push down.
To raise the computer, hold the sides of the computer and lift up.
You can set your computer at a comfortable angle by adjusting the tilt.
To tilt the computer, hold the top and bottom, and push to adjust the computer

You can lock the position of the computer.
Start with the computer in an upright position.
Hold the top left and right sides. Lift the computer to the maximum height, push the top
of the computer away from you, and then push down until the position
locks.
To unlock from this position, hold the top of the computer and pull until it stops. Now
the tilt is unlocked.
You can also tilt your computer to a reclining position.
Start with the computer in an upright position and lift it as high as it will go.
Place your hands on the top left and right side of the computer.
In one smooth motion, begin pushing the top of the computer away from you and downward
until the computer is in the reclining position. The bottom of the computer will recline toward
you as the stand folds down.
You can adjust the tilt to get even closer to the table. To do this, place one hand on
the bottom of the computer and push the computer downward toward the table until it stops.
To return to the previous recline position, place your hand on the bottom of the computer
and pull upward.
To release the recline position, pull the computer upward out of the recline.
You can rotate your computer from a landscape orientation to portrait.
For most computing tasks, the landscape view works well.
However, some tasks are easier to perform when the computer is in portrait view, such
as when viewing long documents.
To rotate your computer from landscape to portrait, raise it as high as it will go.
Slightly tilt the computer to keep it from hitting the base of the stand as you rotate
it. Then, rotate the computer counterclockwise until it is in the portrait position.
The image on the screen will automatically adjust to the new orientation.
To return to landscape, rotate the computer clockwise until it is in the landscape position.
