When you unbox the HP EliteBoard G1a Next Gen AI PC, you can expect a straightforward set of standard components plus several optional accessories you may choose to add.

Included as standard:

• The HP EliteBoard G1a Next Gen AI PC
• A mouse
• A 40 Gbps USB-C cable for high-speed connectivity

Shown in the video but sold separately (optional accessories):

• Protective sleeve
• USB-C power cable
• USB-C power adapter
• HDMI hub
• USB-C to USB-A adapter
• USB-C to DisplayPort adapter

These optional accessories help you reimagine how you connect the EliteBoard to different displays and peripherals, but they are not required for basic setup.

The setup video walks through three main configuration scenarios for the HP EliteBoard G1a Next Gen AI PC. You can choose the one that best fits your workspace and devices:

1. Direct connect via USB-C Power Delivery (PD)
   Use the included 40 Gbps USB-C cable to connect the EliteBoard directly to a compatible monitor or device that supports USB-C Power Delivery. This can handle power, data, and video over a single cable, helping you simplify your desk setup.
2. Connect via a docking station
   If you use multiple peripherals (keyboard, mouse, external drives, wired network, multiple displays), a USB-C docking station can centralize all connections. The EliteBoard connects to the dock with one USB-C cable, and the dock connects to everything else.
3. Connect via the HP Universal USB-C MultiPort Hub
   The HP Universal USB-C MultiPort Hub is another way to expand ports when you need more flexibility than a direct USB-C connection but don’t require a full docking station. It’s useful for adding HDMI, USB-A, and other ports through a single USB-C connection.

All three options are designed to help you reshape your workspace around a single compact AI PC, depending on how many external devices and displays you use.
