Introduction
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.

NOTEThe figures given below are valid for both the minitower and desktop computers
with a standard configuration—no expansion cards and no CD-ROM drive. For
other configurations, the power consumption values will be higher.

The power supply in the computer continues to supply power to the
CMOS memory, even when turned off.

NOTEWhen 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.

Overview
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.
