RAID Redundant Array of Independent Drives
RAID 0,1 are the RAID configurations that HP Elite 7100 Microtower PC products offer as factory
configurations. The pre-configured systems:
Are complete RAID systems and have both drives installed.
Have the necessary Option ROM configuration.
Are pre-loaded and pre-installed with all required Intel software.
Include a preinstalled operating system that is in mirrored mode out of the box.
SMART Technology *
(Self-Monitoring, Analysis
and Reporting Technology)
Allows hard drives to monitor their own health and to raise flags if imminent failures were predicted
Predicts failures before they occur. Tracks fault prediction and failure indication parameters such as
re-allocated sector count, spin retry count, calibration retry count
By avoiding actual hard drive failures, SMART hard drives act as "insurance" against unplanned user
downtime and potential data loss from hard drive failure
IOEDC: I/O Error Detection Circuitry
Detects errors in Read/Write buffers on HDD cache RAM
Interface in F10 setup provides confirmation of SMART support.
* This feature is inoperable when a RAID configuration is enabled.

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.

C/Hr for MT and 10 deg C/Hr for SFF. The upper limit may be limited by the type and number of options
installed.

DDR3 SYNCH DRAM NON-ECC MEMORY
The Intel H57 chipset supports non-ECC DDR3 memory up to PC3-16000 (1333-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: 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 or 4GB DDR3 SYNCH DRAM
OPTIONAL MEMORY UPGRADES
Supports up to 16-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.

Power Management PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification (PCI-PM) Revision 1.2,
Appendix A. D0, D3hot, and D3cold. Wake on Ring state when in D3cold. If the
power management event (PME) feature is enabled in D3cold, a modem can
wake the system via WAKE# (WAKEN) or beacon. Meets PCI Express 1.1
standard.
Upgradeability Driver upgradeable for future enhancements
Video ITU-T V.80 video ready interface
Other TIA/EIA 602 standard AT command set
Integrated DTE interface with speeds of up to 115.2 Kbps, parallel 16550a
UART-compatible interface
Optional ring wakeup signal
Operating Temperature 32° to 158° F (0° to 70° C)
Operating Humidity 20% to 90%, non-condensing
Power Requires a 3.3-V auxiliary power rail on PCI express bus
Uses only one PCI express load (i.e., one grant/request pair), one shared IRQ,
one electrical load
