Installing an Optional HP Retail RP7 VFD Customer Display 39
Installing Additional Memory
The computer comes with double data rate 3 synchronous dynamic random access memory (DDR3SDRAM) small outline dual inline memory modules (SODIMMs).
SODIMMs
The memory sockets on the system board can be populated with up to two industry-standard
SODIMMs. These memory sockets are populated with at least one preinstalled SODIMM. To achieve
the maximum memory support, you can populate the system board with up to 8-GB of memory.
DDR3-SDRAM SODIMMs
CAUTION: This product DOES NOT support DDR3 Ultra Low Voltage (DDR3U) memory. The
processor is not compatible with DDR3U memory and if you plug DDR3U memory into the system
board, it can cause the physical damage to the SODIMM or invoke system malfunction.
For proper system operation, the SODIMMs must be:
industry-standard 204-pin
●
unbuffered non-ECC PC3-12800 DDR3-1600 MHz-compliant
●
1.5 volt DDR3-SDRAM SODIMMs
●
The DDR3-SDRAM SODIMMs must also:
support CAS latency 11 DDR3 1600 MHz (11-11-11 timing)
●
contain the mandatory Joint Electronic Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) specification
●
In addition, the computer supports:
512-Mbit, 1-Gbit, 2-Gbit, 4-Gbit, and 8-Gbit non-ECC memory technologies
●
single-sided and double-sided SODIMMS
●
SODIMMs constructed with x8 and x16 devices; SODIMMs constructed with x4 SDRAM are not
●
supported
NOTE: The system will not operate properly if you install unsupported SODIMMs.
40 Chapter 2 Hardware Upgrades
Populating SODIMM Sockets
There are two SODIMM sockets on the system board, with one socket per channel. The sockets are
labeled DIMM1 and DIMM3. The DIMM1 socket operates in memory channel A. The DIMM3 socket
operates in memory channel B.
The system will automatically operate in single channel mode, dual channel mode, or flex mode,
depending on how the SODIMMs are installed.
The system will operate in single channel mode if the SODIMM sockets are populated in one
●
channel only.
The system will operate in a higher-performing dual channel mode if the memory capacity of the
●
SODIMM in Channel A is equal to the memory capacity of the SODIMM in Channel B.
The system will operate in flex mode if the memory capacity of the SODIMM in Channel A is not
●
equal to the memory capacity of the SODIMM in Channel B. In flex mode, the channel populated
with the least amount of memory describes the total amount of memory assigned to dual
channel and the remainder is assigned to single channel. If one channel will have more memory
than the other, the larger amount should be assigned to channel A.
In any mode, the maximum operational speed is determined by the slowest SODIMM in the
●
system.
Installing SODIMMs
CAUTION: You must disconnect the power cord and wait approximately 30 seconds for the power
to drain 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 into an active AC outlet.
Adding or removing memory modules while voltage is present may cause irreparable damage to the
memory modules or system board.
The memory module sockets have gold-plated metal contacts. When upgrading the memory, it is
important to use memory modules with gold-plated metal contacts to prevent corrosion and/or

B Electrostatic Discharge
A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other
static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.
Preventing Electrostatic Damage
To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:
Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
●
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
●
Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
●
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
●
Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.
●
Grounding Methods
There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling
or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:
Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis.
●
Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm +/- 10 percent resistance in the
ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.
Use heelstraps, toestraps, or bootstraps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet
●
when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.
Use conductive field service tools.
●
Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.
●
If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, contact an HP authorized
dealer, reseller, or service provider.
NOTE: For more information on static electricity, contact an HP authorized dealer, reseller, or
service provider.
68 Appendix B Electrostatic Discharge
C Computer Operating Guidelines,
Routine Care and Shipping Preparation
Computer Operating Guidelines and Routine Care
Follow these guidelines to properly set up and care for the computer and monitor:
● Although the display is water resistant, it is best to keep it away from excessive moisture, direct
sunlight, and extremes of heat and cold.
Never restrict the airflow into the computer by blocking any vents or air intakes.
●
● Never operate the computer with the cover or side panel removed.
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.
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.
● Keep liquids away from the computer vents.
● Never cover the ventilation slots on the monitor with any type of material.
Install or enable power management functions of the operating system or other software,
●
including sleep states.
● Turn off the computer before you do either of the following:
Wipe the exterior of the computer with a soft, damp cloth as needed. Using cleaning
◦
products may discolor or damage the finish.
Occasionally clean the air vents on all vented sides of the computer. Lint, dust, and other
◦
foreign matter can block the vents and limit the airflow.
Touch Screen Maintenance
Keep your display and touch sensor clean. The touch sensor requires very little maintenance. HP
recommends that you periodically clean the glass touch sensor surface. Be sure to turn off your
display before cleaning. Typically, an isopropyl alcohol and water solution ratio of 50:50 is the best
cleaning agent for your touch sensor. It is important to avoid using any caustic chemicals on the touch
sensor. Do not use any vinegar-based solutions.
Apply the cleaner with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using gritty cloths. Always dampen the cloth and
then clean the sensor. Be sure to spray the cleaning liquid onto the cloth, not the sensor, so that drips
do not seep inside the display or stain the bezel.
Computer Operating Guidelines and Routine Care 69
Shipping Preparation
Follow these suggestions when preparing to ship the computer:
1. Back up the hard drive files. Be sure that the backup media is not exposed to electrical or
magnetic impulses while stored or in transit.
NOTE: The hard drive locks automatically when the system power is turned off.
2. Remove and store all removable media.
3. Turn off the computer and external devices.
4. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet, then from the computer.
5. Disconnect the system components and external devices from their power sources, then from
the computer.
6. Pack the system components and external devices in their original packing boxes or similar
packaging with sufficient packing material to protect them.
