Installing Additional Memory  
The computer comes with double data rate 3 synchronous dynamic random access memory (DDR3-  
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 16-GB of memory configured in a high-  
performing dual channel mode.  
DDR3-SDRAM DIMMs  
For proper system operation, the DDR3-SDRAM DIMMs must be:  
industry-standard 240-pin  
unbuffered non-ECC PC3-8500 DDR3-1066 MHz-compliant or PC3-10600 DDR3-1333 MHz-  
compliant  
1.5 volt DDR3-SDRAM DIMMs  
The DDR3-SDRAM DIMMs must also:  
support CAS latency 7 DDR3 1066 MHz (7-7-7 timing) and CAS latency 9 DDR3 1333 MHz (9-9-9  
timing)  
contain the mandatory JEDEC SPD information  
In addition, the computer supports:  
512-Mbit, 1-Gbit, and 2-Gbit 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 DIMM1, DIMM2, DIMM3, and DIMM4. Sockets DIMM1 and DIMM2 operate in memory channel  
A. Sockets DIMM3 and DIMM4 operate in memory channel B.

Black  
White  
White  
White  
NOTE: A DIMM must occupy the black DIMM1 socket. Otherwise, the system will  
display a POST error message indicating that a memory module must be installed in the  
wrong 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 1-GB DIMMs and Channel B is populated with one 2-GB 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  
18 Chapter 2 Hardware Upgrades  
ENWW  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
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 2-GB DIMM, and three 1-GB DIMMs, Channel  
A should be populated with the 2-GB DIMM and one 1-GB DIMM, and Channel B should be  
populated with the other two 1-GB DIMMs. With this configuration, 4-GB will run as dual channel  
and 1-GB 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 compact discs or USB flash drives, 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

Installing and Removing Drives  
When installing additional drives, follow these guidelines:  
The primary Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive must be connected to the dark blue primary SATA  
connector on the system board labeled SATA0.  
Connect a SATA optical drive to the white SATA connector on the system board labeled SATA1.  
Connect devices in order of SATA0, SATA1, then SATA2  
Connect an optional eSATA adapter cable to the black ESATA connector on the system board.  
Connect a media card reader USB cable to the USB connector on the system board labeled MEDIA.  
If the media card reader has a 1394 port, connect the 1394 cable to the 1394 PCI card.  
The system does not support Parallel ATA (PATA) optical drives or PATA hard drives.  
You must install guide screws to ensure the drive will line up correctly in the drive cage and lock  
in place. HP has provided extra guide screws for the external drive bays (five 6-32 standard screws  
and four M3 metric screws), installed in the front of the chassis, under the front bezel. The 6-32  
standard screws are required for a secondary hard drive. All other drives (except the primary hard  
drive) use M3 metric screws. The HP-supplied metric screws are black and the HP-supplied  
standard screws are silver. If you are replacing the primary hard drive, you must remove the four  
silver and blue 6-32 isolation mounting guide screws from the old hard drive and install them in the  
new hard drive.

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  
provider.

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.

Optical Drive Precautions  
Be sure to observe the following guidelines while operating or cleaning the optical drive.  
Operation  
Do not move the drive during operation. This may cause it to malfunction during reading.  
Avoid exposing the drive to sudden changes in temperature, as condensation may form inside the  
unit. If the temperature suddenly changes while the drive is on, wait at least one hour before you  
turn off the power. If you operate the unit immediately, it may malfunction while reading.  
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 USB flash drives. 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. Turn off the computer and external devices.  
4. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet, then from the computer.  
5. Disconnect the system components and external devices from their power sources, then from the  
computer.  
NOTE: Ensure that all boards are seated properly and secured in the board slots before shipping  
the computer.  
6. Pack the system components and external devices in their original packing boxes or similar  
packaging with sufficient packing material to protect them.
