Main Memory
The PC has four banks on the system board for installing main memory; banks
A, B, C and D. Each bank consists of two sockets. The PC is supplied with 16
MB of main memory (two 8-MB memory modules installed in any bank).
Memory modules must be installed in identical pairs, so that each bank with
memory installed contains two memory modules of the same size and type.
The PC is supplied with one bank of memory modules. This can be a pair of
modules of type “interleave 8” or a pair of type “interleave 16”. These can be
replaced or extended with memory modules of the same type.
Main memory on an “interleave 8” type of PC can be extended to a maximum of
128 MB by replacing the 16 MB base memory with four D3555B kits (32 MB
each). Main memory can be extended to a maximum of 112 MB without
replacing the base memory
Main memory on an “interleave 16” type of PC can be extended to a maximum
of 256 MB by replacing the 32 MB base memory with four D3554B kits (64 MB
each). Main memory can be extended to a maximum of 224 MB without
replacing the base memory.
To order the appropriate main memory upgrade kit, check the PC memory
configuration using the “HP Vectra XU 6/xxx & VT 6/xxx Memory Configuration
Utility”. This utility will indicate the supported accessories.
