Adding System Memory


DIMMs
The memory sockets on models equipped with the Intel Pentium 4 processor must be populated with double data rate SDRAM (DDR-SDRAM) DIMMs. To achieve the maximum memory support, you can populate the system board with up to 2GB of memory configured in a high-performing dual channel mode.

DDR DIMMs
For proper system operation, the DIMMs must be industry-standard 184-pin, unbuffered PC 2100 266 Mhz-, PC 2700 333 Mhz-, or PC3200 400 Mhz-compliant 2.5 volt DDR-SDRAM DIMMs. The DDR-SDRAM DIMMs must also:

support CAS Latency 2 or 2.5 (CL = 2 or CL = 2.5) contain the mandatory Joint Electronic Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) Serial Presence Detect (SPD) information 128Mbit, 256Mbit, and 512Mbit 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.

In addition, the system supports:


The following processor bus frequencies are required for the system to run at the supported memory frequencies.
Memory Frequency 266 MHz 333 MHz 400 MHz Required Processor Bus Frequency 400 MHz, 533 MHz, or 800 MHz 533 MHz or 800 MHz 800 MHz

24

www.hp.com

Hardware Reference Guide

Hardware Upgrades

If a memory frequency is paired with an unsupported processor bus frequency, the system will run at the highest supported memory speed. For example, if a 333 MHz DIMM is paired with a 400 MHz processor bus, the system will run at 266 MHz, the highest supported memory speed.

The system will not start using unsupported DIMMs.


Refer to the Computer Setup (F10) Utility Guide for information on how to determine the processor bus frequency of a specific computer.

DIMM Sockets
The system will automatically operate in single channel mode or a higher-performing dual channel mode, depending on how the DIMMs are installed.

If only one DIMM is installed, the system will operate in a single channel mode. If two DIMMs are installed, the system will operate in a dual channel mode. The maximum operating speed will be determined by the slowest DIMM. For example, if the system is populated with a 256 MHz DIMM and a 333 MHz DIMM, the system will run at only 256 MHz. For maximum performance improvement, install identical high-performance DIMMs.

Adding or Removing a Memory Module

CAUTION: 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.

CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer. Before beginning these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal object. See Appendix C, Electrostatic Discharge for more information.

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.

Electrostatic Discharge

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 authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider.

For more information on static electricity, contact an authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider.

Routine Computer Care
Follow these suggestions to take care of the computer and monitor:

Operate the computer on a sturdy, level surface. Leave a 3-inch (7.6-cm) clearance at the back of the system unit and above the monitor to permit the required airflow. Never operate the computer with the cover or side panel removed. Never restrict the airflow into the computer by blocking the front vents or air intake. Do not place the keyboard, with the keyboard feet down, directly against the front of the desktop unit as this also restricts airflow. Keep the computer away from excessive moisture, direct sunlight, and extremes of heat and cold. For information about the recommended temperature and humidity ranges for the computer, refer to Appendix A, Specifications in this guide. Keep liquids away from the computer and keyboard. Never cover the ventilation slots on the monitor with any type of material. 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 the front and back of the computer. Lint and other foreign matter can block the vents and limit the airflow.

MultiBay Precautions
Be sure to observe the following guidelines while operating or cleaning the MultiBay.

Operation

Before handling a drive, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity. While handling a drive, avoid touching the connector. Before traveling with, shipping, storing, or removing a drive other than a hard drive, make sure that no media, such as a diskette, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM, is in the drive and that the media tray is closed. Handle a drive carefully: do not use excessive force when inserting it, do not drop it, and do not press on the top cover. Avoid exposing a hard drive to liquids, temperature extremes, or products that have magnetic fields such as monitors or speakers. If a drive must be mailed, place the drive in a bubble-pack mailer or other suitable protective packaging and label the package Fragile: Handle with Care. To prevent damage to the computer, the drive, and any data stored on the drive: If you are inserting or removing a hard drive, shut down the computer. Never remove a hard drive while the computer is on or on standby. To ensure that the computer is not on standby, turn the computer on, then shut it down. Before removing an optical or diskette drive, stop the drive by using the Safely Remove Hardware icon on the Windows XP task bar or the Unplug or Eject Hardware icon on the Windows 2000 task bar. Restart the system to ensure the optical drive functions correctly with the software applications.

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.
