specifications
both platforms power consumption
As an ENERGY STAR partner, HP has determined that this product meets the
ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency (standard base models).
These are “typical” values given for the standard base models.
NOTE When the PC is turned off with the power button on the front panel, the power
consumption falls below 5 Watts, but is not zero. The special on/off method
used by this PC extends the lifetime of the power supply. To reach zero power
consumption in “off” mode, unplug the AC adapter from the power outlet or
unplug the AC adapter from the HP e-pc. If the PC is turned off, the time
settings are maintained by the battery indefinitely (until the battery runs out
of power).
acoustic noise emission
The values are given for the standard configuration as shipped and can vary
depending on the actual components used.

environmental specifications
Operating temperature and humidity ranges may vary depending upon the
mass storage devices installed. High humidity levels can cause improper
operation of disk drives. Low humidity levels can aggravate static electricity
problems and cause excessive wear of the disk surface.

Operating Temperature 5oC - 35oC
Storage Temperature -40oC to 70oC
Operating Humidity 15% to 80% (relative)
Storage Humidity 8% to 85% (relative), non-condensing at 40°C (104°F)
Acoustic Noise Emission: (as defined ISO 7779)

main memory
main memory
There is one 168-pin DIMM slot on the system board for installing main
memory. All HP e-pc models are supplied with a memory module of at least
64 MB non-ECC SDRAM. Only HP memory modules are supported. Memory
upgrades are not supported.
processors
The HP e-pc is equipped with either a single Socket 370 Intel Celeron or
socket 370 Intel Pentium III processor. Socket 370 is a conversion of Slot 1
(used previously by Celerons and Pentium Is) to a socket, running at the
same bus protocol as the Pentium II (the GTL+ bus protocol). The processor
is connected to the system board through a Plastic Pin Grid Array (PPGA)
370 Socket. The reduction in size achieved by the Socket 370 Celeron is due
to the integration of the L2 cache on the processor die. Like the Celeron
processor, the Pentium III comes in a 370-pin socket (PGA370) package.
To find out more about Socket 370 Celeron technology, refer to the Tec hn ica l
Reference Manual - HP PC Technology.
