Hardware Upgrades
Serviceability Features
This computer includes features that make it easy to upgrade and
service. No tools are needed for most of the installation procedures
described in this chapter.
✎If the computer is in the desktop configuration, ensure at least 4
inches (10.2 cm) of space on all sides remains clear and free of
obstructions.
Warnings and Cautions
Before performing upgrades be sure to carefully read all of the
applicable instructions, cautions, and warnings in this guide.
ÅWARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from electrical shock
and/or hot surfaces, be sure to disconnect the power cord from the wall
outlet, and allow the internal system components to cool before touching.
ÅWARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire, or damage to the
equipment, do not plug telecommunications/telephone connectors into
the network interface controller (NIC) receptacles.
ÄCAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of
the computer or optional equipment. Before beginning these procedures,
ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a
grounded metal object. Refer to Appendix F, “Electrostatic Discharge” in
this guide for additional information on preventing electrostatic discharge.

ÄCAUTION: Before removing the computer access panel ensure that the
computer is turned off and that the power cord is disconnected from the
electrical outlet.
Unlocking the Smart Cover Lock
✎The Smart Cover Lock is an optional feature and is available on select
models only.
The Smart Cover Lock is a software-controllable cover lock,
controlled by the setup password. This lock prevents unauthorized
access to the internal components. The computer ships with the Smart
Cover Lock in the unlocked position. For more information about
locking the Smart Cover Lock, refer to the Desktop Management
guide.
Using the Smart Cover FailSafe Key
If you enable the Smart Cover Lock and cannot enter your password
to disable the lock, you will need a Smart Cover FailSafe Key to open
the computer cover. You will need the key in any of the following
circumstances:
■Power outage
■Startup failure
■PC component (for example, processor or power supply) failure
■Forgotten password
ÄCAUTION: The Smart Cover FailSafe Key is a specialized tool available
from HP. Be prepared; order this key before you need one.
To obtain a FailSafe Key:
■Contact an authorized HP reseller or service provider. Order
PN 166527-001 for the wrench-style key or PN 166527-002 for
the screwdriver bit key.
■Refer to the HP Web site (www.hp.com) for ordering information.
■Call the appropriate number listed in the warranty.

Hardware Upgrades
Installing Additional Memory
The computer comes with double data rate synchronous dynamic
random access memory (DDR-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.
DDR-SDRAM DIMMs
For proper system operation, if the computer supports DDR-SDRAM
DIMMs, the DIMMs must be:
■industry-standard 184-pin
■unbuffered PC2100 266 MHz-, PC2700 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 JEDEC SPD information
In addition, the computer supports:
■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
The following processor bus frequencies are required for the system
to run at the supported memory frequencies.

Hardware Reference Guide www.hp.com 2-9
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 if you install unsupported DIMMs.
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.
■In single channel mode, the maximum operational speed is
determined by the slowest DIMM in the system. For example, if
the system is populated with a DIMM that is 266 MHz and a
second DIMM that is 333 MHz, the system will run at the slower
of the two speeds.
■In dual channel mode, all DIMMs must be identically matched.
DIMMs in the XMM1 and XMM3 black sockets must be
identical; DIMMs in the XMM2 and XMM4 blue sockets must
also be identical. Therefore, if you have one preinstalled DIMM
in socket XMM1 and are adding a second DIMM, it is
recommended that you install an identical DIMM into the XMM3
socket. If you are populating all four DIMM sockets, use identical
DIMMs in each socket. Otherwise, the system will not operate in
dual channel mode.
Memory Frequency Required Processor Bus Frequency
266 MHz 400 MHz, 533 MHz, or 800 MHz
333 MHz 533 MHz or 800 MHz
400 MHz 800 MHz

2-10 www.hp.com Hardware Reference Guide
Hardware Upgrades
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.
