2 Hardware Upgrades
Serviceability Features
The computer includes features that make it easy to upgrade and service. No tools are needed for most of the installation procedures described in this chapter.
Warnings and Cautions
Before performing upgrades be sure to carefully read all of the applicable instructions, cautions, and warnings in this guide.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury from electrical shock, hot surfaces, or fire:
Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet and allow the internal system components to cool before touching.
Do not plug telecommunications or telephone connectors into the network interface controller (NIC) receptacles.
Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.
Plug the power cord in a grounded (earthed) outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the Safety & Comfort Guide. It describes proper workstation, setup, posture, and health and work habits for computer users, and provides important electrical and mechanical safety information. This guide is located on the Web at http://www.hp.com/ergo.
WARNING! Energized and moving parts inside.
Disconnect power to the equipment before removing the enclosure.
Replace and secure the enclosure before re-energizing the equipment.
CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electrical components of the computer or optional equipment. Before beginning these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal object. See Appendix D, Electrostatic Discharge on page 51 for more information.
When the computer is plugged into an AC power source, voltage is always applied to the system board. You must disconnect the power cord from the power source before opening the computer to prevent damage to internal components.

Removing the Computer Access Panel
1.Remove/disengage any security devices that prohibit opening the computer.
2.Remove all removable media, such as compact discs or USB flash drives, from the computer.
3.Turn off the computer properly through the operating system, then turn off any external devices.
4.Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet and disconnect any external devices.
CAUTION: Regardless of the power-on state, voltage is always present on the system board as long as the system is plugged into an active AC outlet. You must disconnect the power cord to avoid damage to the internal components of the computer.
5.Loosen the two captive thumbscrews (1) that secure the access panel to the computer chassis.
6.Use the handle located between the thumbscrews to lift the access panel off the unit (2).
NOTE: You may want to lay the computer on its side to install internal parts. Be sure the side with the access panel is facing up.

Installing Additional Memory
The computer comes with double data rate 3 synchronous dynamic random access memory (DDR3SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).
DIMMs
The memory sockets on the system board can be populated with up to four industry-standard DIMMs. These memory sockets are populated with at least one preinstalled DIMM. To achieve the maximum memory support, you can populate the system board with up to 16-GB of memory configured in a highperforming dual channel mode.
DDR3-SDRAM DIMMs
For proper system operation, the DDR3-SDRAM DIMMs must be:
●industry-standard 240-pin
●unbuffered non-ECC PC3-8500 DDR3-1066 MHz-compliant or PC3-10600 DDR3-1333 MHzcompliant
NOTE: 1333 MHz DIMMS will only run at a speed of 1066 MHz.
●1.5 volt DDR3-SDRAM DIMMs The DDR3-SDRAM DIMMs must also:
●support CAS latency 7 DDR3 1066 MHz (7-7-7 timing) and CAS latency 9 DDR3 1333 MHz (9-9-9 timing)
●contain the mandatory JEDEC SPD information
In addition, the computer supports:
●512-Mbit, 1-Gbit, and 2-Gbit non-ECC memory technologies
●single-sided and double-sided DIMMs
●DIMMs constructed with x8 and x16 DDR devices; DIMMs constructed with x4 SDRAM are not supported
NOTE: The system will not operate properly if you install unsupported DIMMs.
