Memory DDR2 SYNCH DRAM NON-ECC MEMORY
Memory upgrades are accomplished by adding single or multiple DIMMs of the same or varied sizes. This
chart does not represent all possible memory configurations. The AMD 780V chipset supports non-ECC
DDR2 PC2-6400 (800-MHz) memory.
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.
Microtower and Small Form Factor
Maximum Memory Supports up to 16-GB of DDR2 SYNCH DRAM. Slot 4 is black and must always be populated. Next populate
slots 3, 2, and 1 in that order. 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.

Unit Environment and Operating
Conditions
Microtower Small Form Factor
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 10.2 cm (4 in) 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.
Temperature Range Operating: 50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C)*
Non-operating: -22° to 140° F(-30° to 60° C)
Relative Humidity Operating: 10% to 90% (non-condensing at ambient)
Non-operating: 5% to 95% (non-condensing at ambient)
Maximum Altitude (unpressurized) Operating: 10,000 ft (3048 m)
Non-operating: 30,000 ft (9144 m)
* NOTE: Operating temperature is de-rated 1.0 deg C per 300 m (1000 ft) to 3000 m (10,000 ft) 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.

ROM BIOS Information
Key features of the HP BIOS in the dc5850 include:
Deployment and manageability – HP BIOS provides several technologies that help integrate the HP Business desktop computer
into the enterprise, such as PXE, remote configuration, remote control, and F10 Setup support for 12 languages.
Stability – HP BIOS supports the HP stable product roadmap by releasing only critical BIOS changes to the factory and advanced
change notification.
Security – HP BIOS offers a robust and flexible set of security features to help the system administrator secure their systems
from removal of sensitive data, and help prevent access by unauthorized users.
Tracking and tracing capabilities in case of theft available in select countries (subscription sold separately).
Thermal and power management – The HP BIOS provides and enables thermal and power management technologies to assist in
operating the HP Business Desktop computer in any enterprise environment.
Serviceability – HP BIOS provides diagnostic and detailed service information.
Upgrades and recovery – HP BIOS provides numerous ways to upgrade HP Business Desktop computers, including BIOS updates
from within DOS (Flashlite), BIOS updates from within Windows (HPQFlash, SSM), HP Client Manager, and fail-safe recovery. In
addition, the HP Business Desktop BIOS Utilities tool enables replicated BIOS setup throughout the Enterprise; it is available from
within the BIOS software and from the support website.

configuration. If the administrator password is not known, the BIOS version cannot be changed and changes cannot be made to
BIOS settings using F10 setup or under the OS.
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) – Represents a significant innovation in power and configuration
management, allowing operating systems and applications to manage power based on activity and usage. Provides power
conservation features under Windows XP.
Ability to mute the internal speaker
Other Features Description
ACPI-Ready Hardware Advanced Configuration and Power Management Interface (ACPI).
Allows the system to wake from a low power mode.
