General Unit Operating Guidelines
General Unit Operating GuidelinesGeneral Unit Operating Guidelines
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.

DDR SYNCH DRAM NON-ECC MEMORYDDR SYNCH DRAM NON-ECC MEMORY
DDR SYNCH DRAM NON-ECC MEMORY
The Intel G45 Express chipset supports non-ECC DDR2 memory up to PC2-6400 (800-MHz). 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.
CAUTION:
CAUTION:CAUTION:
CAUTION: You must shut down the computer and disconnect the power cord
and disconnect the power cordand disconnect the power cord
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.
HP recommends dual-channel symmetric configurations for maximum performance.HP recommends dual-channel symmetric configurations for maximum performance.
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.
