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.

Memory
DDR SYNCH DRAM NON-ECC MEMORY
The Intel G41 Express chipset supports non-ECC DDR3 memory up to PC3-10600 (1333 MHz). However, the chipset runs
this memory at a maximum clock rate of 1066 MHz. Memory upgrades are accomplished by adding single or dual DIMMs of
the same or varied sizes. This chart does not represent all possible memory configurations.
CAUTION:
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, 3-GB or 4-GB DDR3 SYNCH DRAM
OPTIONAL MEMORY UPGRADES
Supports up to 4 GB of DDR3 SYNCH DRAM. Not all memory configurations possible are represented below.
NOTE:
available due to system resource requirements. Addressing memory above 4 GB requires a 64-bit operating system.
You must shut down the computer
For systems configured with more than 3 GB of memory and a 32-bit operating system, all memory may not be

RoHS Compliance
Material Usage
Packaging
Hewlett-Packard is committed to compliance with all applicable environmental laws and
regulations, including the European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive.
HP's goal is to exceed compliance obligations by meeting the requirements of the RoHS Directive
on a worldwide basis. By July 1, 2006, RoHS substances will be virtually eliminated (virtually = to
levels below legal limits) for all HP electronic products subject to the RoHS Directive, except
where it is widely recognized that there is no technically feasible alternative (as indicated by an
exemption under the EU RoHS Directive).
This product does not contain any of the following substances in excess of regulatory limits (refer
to the HP General Specification for the
Environment at
supplychain/gen_specifications.html
Asbestos
Certain Azo Colorants
Certain Brominated Flame Retardants – may not be used as flame retardants in plastics
Cadmium
Chlorinated Hydrocarbons
Chlorinated Paraffins
Formaldehyde
Halogenated Diphenyl Methanes
Lead carbonates and sulfates
Lead and Lead compounds
Mercuric Oxide Batteries
Nickel – finishes must not be used on the external surface designed to be frequently
handled or carried by the user.
Ozone Depleting Substances
Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBBs)
Polybrominated Biphenyl Ethers (PBBEs)
Polybrominated Biphenyl Oxides (PBBOs)
Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB)
Polychlorinated Terphenyls (PCT)
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) – except for wires and cables, and certain retail packaging has
been voluntarily removed from most applications.
Radioactive Substances
Tributyl Tin (TBT), Triphenyl Tin (TPT), Tributyl Tin Oxide (TBTO)
HP follows these guidelines to decrease the environmental impact of product packaging:
Eliminate the use of heavy metals such as lead, chromium, mercury and cadmium in
packaging materials.
Eliminate the use of ozone-depleting substances (ODS) in packaging materials.
Design packaging materials for ease of disassembly.
Maximize the use of post-consumer recycled content materials in packaging materials.
Use readily recyclable packaging materials such as paper and corrugated materials.
Reduce size and weight of packages to improve transportation fuel efficiency.
Plastic packaging materials are marked according to ISO 11469 and DIN 6120 standards.
Hewlett-Packard offers end-of-life HP product return and recycling programs in many geographic
areas. To recycle your product, please go to:
HP sales office. Products returned to HP will be recycled, recovered or disposed of in a
responsible manner.
The EU WEEE directive (2002/95/EC) requires manufacturers to provide treatment information for
each product type for use by treatment facilities. This information (product disassembly
