Unit Environment and

Operating Conditions

General Unit Operating Guidelines

Keep the computer away from excessive moisture, direct moisture and the extremes of heat and cold, to ensure that unit is operated within the specified operating range.

Leave a 4 in (10.2 cm) clearance on all vented sides of the computer to permit the required airflow.

Never restrict airflow into the computer by blocking any vents or air intakes.

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.

Occasionally clean the air vents on the front, back, and any other vented side of the computer. Lint, dust and other foreign matter can block the vents and limit the airflow.

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.

NOTE:Operating temperature is de-rated 1.0 deg C per 1000 ft (300 m) to 10,000 ft (3000 m) above sea level, no direct sustained sunlight. Maximum rate of change is 10 deg C/Hr. The upper limit may be limited by the type and number of options installed.

Memory

DDR SYNCH DRAM NON-ECC MEMORY

The Intel G41 Express chipset supports non-ECC DDR3 memory up to PC3-10600 (1333 MHz). However, the chipset runs this memory at a maximum clock rate of 1066 MHz. Memory upgrades are accomplished by adding single or dual DIMMs of the same or varied sizes. This chart does not represent all possible memory configurations.

CAUTION: You must shut down the computer and disconnect the power cord 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 in to an active AC outlet. Adding or removing memory modules while voltage is present may cause irreparable damage to the memory modules or system board.

HP recommends dual-channel symmetric configurations for maximum performance.

For best performance, add the same amount of total memory to each channel and do not mix speeds. For dual-channel symmetric performance, the total amount of memory in each channel must be equal. If speeds are mixed, speed will default to the slowest DIMM.

STANDARD MEMORY

1-GB, 2-GB, 3-GB or 4-GB DDR3 SYNCH DRAM

OPTIONAL MEMORY UPGRADES

Supports up to 4 GB of DDR3 SYNCH DRAM. Not all memory configurations possible are represented below.

NOTE: For systems configured with more than 3 GB of memory and a 32-bit operating system, all memory may not be available due to system resource requirements. Addressing memory above 4 GB requires a 64-bit operating system.
