1 HP Vectra 500 Series
Introduction
Three group types have been defined to help identify the various system configurations available on the HP 500 Series desktop and minitower packages. Within each group, a product number and the appropriate HP Vectra 500 Series model have been associated with the HP Service Part Number.
The HP Service Part Numbers are:
•D4051-63001
•D3657-63001
•D3661-63001
An HP Service Part Number group contains details of a specific system configuration. For example, if there is a need to perform a check on a certain product number, first determine which group type it belongs to, then refer to System Features, on page 17, for a list of main features.

1.The power supply in the computer continues to supply power to the CMOS memory, even when turned off.
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 considerably extends the lifetime of the power supply. To reach zero power consumption in “off” mode, either unplug the PC from the power outlet or use a power block with a switch.

System Board - (SiS Chipset)
(Part Number: D4051-63001)
This section describes the components and features of the SiS (Silicon Integrated System) chipset-based system board. This system board has the HP Service Part Number: D4051-63001.
27
2 System Board - (SiS Chipset) (Part Number: D4051-63001)
Overview
The type of system board described in this section uses shared memory based on UMA (Unified Memory Architecture), meaning that there is no dedicated frame buffer used by the video controller (SiS 6205). Instead, the controller uses a portion of the system memory as a frame buffer.
The following tables show the models that are associated with the HP Service Part Number: D4051-63001. For further detailed information concerning system features and a comparison between the desktop and minitower models, refer to “System Features” on page 17.
