Installing Additional Memory  
The computer comes with double data rate 2 synchronous dynamic random access memory (DDR2-  
SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).  
DIMMs  
The memory sockets on the system board can be populated with up to four industry-standard DIMMs.  
These memory sockets are populated with at least one preinstalled DIMM. To achieve the maximum  
memory support, you can populate the system board with up to 4GB of memory configured in a high-  
performing dual channel mode.  
DDR2-SDRAM DIMMs  
For proper system operation, the DDR2-SDRAM DIMMs must be:  
industry-standard 240-pin  
unbuffered PC2-5300 667 MHz-compliant or PC2-6400 800 MHz-compliant  
1.8 volt DDR2-SDRAM DIMMs  
The DDR2-SDRAM DIMMs must also:  
support CAS latency 5 DDR2 667 Mhz (5-5-5 timing), CAS latency 5 DDR2 800 Mhz (5-5-5 timing),  
and CAS latency 6 DDR2 800 Mhz (6-6-6 timing)  
contain the mandatory JEDEC SPD information  
In addition, the computer supports:  
512Mbit and 1Gbit non-ECC memory technologies  
single-sided and double-sided DIMMs  
DIMMs constructed with x8 and x16 DDR devices; DIMMs constructed with x4 SDRAM are not  
supported  
NOTE: The system will not operate properly if you install unsupported DIMMs.

Populating DIMM Sockets  
There are four DIMM sockets on the system board, with two sockets per channel. The sockets are  
labeled XMM1, XMM2, XMM3, and XMM4. Sockets XMM1 and XMM2 operate in memory channel A.  
Sockets XMM3 and XMM4 operate in memory channel B.

NOTE: A DIMM must occupy the XMM1 socket.  
The system will automatically operate in single channel mode, dual channel mode, or flex mode,  
depending on how the DIMMs are installed.  
The system will operate in single channel mode if the DIMM sockets are populated in one channel  
only.  
The system will operate in a higher-performing dual channel mode if the total memory capacity of  
the DIMMs in Channel A is equal to the total memory capacity of the DIMMs in Channel B. The  
technology and device width can vary between the channels. For example, if Channel A is  
populated with two 512MB DIMMs and Channel B is populated with one 1GB DIMM, the system  
will operate in dual channel mode.  
The system will operate in flex mode if the total memory capacity of the DIMMs in Channel A is not  
equal to the total memory capacity of the DIMMs in Channel B. In flex mode, the channel populated

with the least amount of memory describes the total amount of memory assigned to dual channel  
and the remainder is assigned to single channel. For optimal speed, the channels should be  
balanced so that the largest amount of memory is spread between the two channels. If one channel  
will have more memory than the other, the larger amount should be assigned to Channel A. For  
example, if you are populating the sockets with one 1GB DIMM, and three 512MB DIMMs, Channel  
A should be populated with the 1GB DIMM and one 512MB DIMM, and Channel B should be  
populated with the two 512MB DIMMs. With this configuration, 2GB will run as dual channel and  
512MB will run as single channel.  
In any mode, the maximum operational speed is determined by the slowest DIMM in the system.  
Installing DIMMs  
CAUTION: You must disconnect the 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. If you see an LED light on the system board, voltage is still present.  
The memory module sockets have gold-plated metal contacts. When upgrading the memory, it is  
important to use memory modules with gold-plated metal contacts to prevent corrosion and/or oxidation  
resulting from having incompatible metals in contact with each other.  
Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer or optional cards. Before  
beginning these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a  
grounded metal object. For more information, refer to Appendix D, Electrostatic Discharge  
When handling a memory module, be careful not to touch any of the contacts. Doing so may damage  
the module.  
1. Remove/disengage any security devices that prohibit opening the computer.  
2. Remove all removable media, such as diskettes or compact discs, from the computer.  
3. Turn off the computer properly through the operating system, then turn off any external devices.  
4. Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet and disconnect any external devices.  
CAUTION: You must disconnect the 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. If you see an LED light on the system  
board, voltage is still present.  
5. Remove the computer access panel.

7. Open both latches of the memory module socket (1), and insert the memory module into the socket  
(2).  
Figure 2-7 Installing a DIMM  
NOTE: A memory module can be installed in only one way. Match the notch on the module with  
the tab on the memory socket.  
A DIMM must occupy the XMM1 socket. Always populate the black sockets before blue sockets in  
each channel.  
In order to create a dual-channel memory configuration, the memory capacity of Channel A must  
equal the memory capacity of Channel B. Refer to Populating DIMM Sockets on page 15 for more  
information.  
8. Push the DIMM module down firmly into the socket, ensuring that the module is fully inserted and  
properly seated. The DIMM must be pushed all the way down into the socket and sit evenly in the  
socket to avoid memory corruption. Make sure the latches are in the closed position (3).  
9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 to install any additional modules.  
10. Replace the computer access panel.  
11. Reconnect the power cord and any external devices, then turn on the computer. The computer

D Electrostatic Discharge  
A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other  
static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.  
Preventing Electrostatic Damage  
To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:  
Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.  
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.  
Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.  
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.  
Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.  
Grounding Methods  
There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or  
installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:  
Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis. Wrist  
straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm +/- 10 percent resistance in the ground  
cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.  
Use heelstraps, toestraps, or bootstraps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet  
when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.  
Use conductive field service tools.  
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

E Computer Operating Guidelines,  
Routine Care and Shipping Preparation  
Computer Operating Guidelines and Routine Care  
Follow these guidelines to properly set up and care for the computer and monitor:  
Keep the computer away from excessive moisture, direct sunlight, and extremes of heat and cold.  
Operate the computer on a sturdy, level surface. Leave a 10.2-cm (4-inch) clearance on all vented  
sides of the computer and above the monitor to permit the required airflow.  
Never restrict the airflow into the computer by blocking any vents or air intakes. Do not place the  
keyboard, with the keyboard feet down, directly against the front of the desktop unit as this also  
restricts airflow.  
Never operate the computer with the access panel or any of the expansion card slot covers  
removed.  
Do not stack computers on top of each other or place computers so near each other that they are  
subject to each other’s re-circulated or preheated air.  
If the computer is to be operated within a separate enclosure, intake and exhaust ventilation must  
be provided on the enclosure, and the same operating guidelines listed above will still apply.  
Keep liquids away from the computer and keyboard.  
Never cover the ventilation slots on the monitor with any type of material.  
Install or enable power management functions of the operating system or other software, including  
sleep states.  
Turn off the computer before you do either of the following:  
Wipe the exterior of the computer with a soft, damp cloth as needed. Using cleaning products  
may discolor or damage the finish.  
Occasionally clean the air vents on all vented sides of the computer. Lint, dust, and other  
foreign matter can block the vents and limit the airflow.

Avoid placing the drive in a location that is subject to high humidity, extreme temperatures,  
mechanical vibration, or direct sunlight.  
Cleaning  
Clean the panel and controls with a soft, dry cloth or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild  
detergent solution. Never spray cleaning fluids directly on the unit.  
Avoid using any type of solvent, such as alcohol or benzene, which may damage the finish.  
Safety  
If any object or liquid falls into the drive, immediately unplug the computer and have it checked by an  
authorized HP service provider.  
Shipping Preparation  
Follow these suggestions when preparing to ship the computer:  
1. Back up the hard drive files on PD discs, tape cartridges, CDs, or diskettes. Be sure that the backup  
media is not exposed to electrical or magnetic impulses while stored or in transit.  
NOTE: The hard drive locks automatically when the system power is turned off.  
2. Remove and store all removable media.  
3. Insert a blank diskette into the diskette drive to protect the drive while in transit. Do not use a diskette  
on which you have stored or plan to store data.  
4. Turn off the computer and external devices.  
5. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet, then from the computer.  
6. Disconnect the system components and external devices from their power sources, then from the  
computer.
