Installation Sequence

It is very important that you follow this sequence of steps to ensure the proper installation of any optional equipment.

For more information about Computer Setup, refer to the Computer

Setup (F10) Utility Guide.

1. If your computer includes the Smart Cover Lock feature and you have set the lock, use Computer Setup to unlock the lock and disable the Smart Cover Sensor.

2. For more information about Computer Setup, refer to the

Computer Setup Utility (F10) Guide.

3. If the computer is already on, turn it off and disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from electrical shock

and/or hot surfaces, be sure to disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet, and allow the internal system components to cool before touching.

Hardware Upgrades

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire, or damage to the

equipment, do not plug telecommunications or telephone connectors into the network interface controller (NIC) receptacles.

CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic 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 E, “Electrostatic Discharge,” for more information.

4. Open the computer by removing its outside cover. See the procedures for removing the computer cover later in this chapter.

5. Install any optional equipment. See the applicable sections of this guide or refer to the documentation provided with the optional equipment for instructions.

6. Replace the computer cover.

7. Turn on the monitor, computer, and any devices you want to test.

8. Reconfigure the computer, if necessary. Refer to the Computer Setup (F10) Utility Guide for instructions about using Computer Setup.

Drawer Installation Method

When installing the computer chassis in a drawer, the following conditions must be met to ensure proper air flow:

■ At least 3 inches (7.6 cm) of clear space between the back of the

drawer and anything behind it, such as a wall or the back panel of a desk.

■ At least two 2-inch (5.1-cm) diameter holes in the back of the

drawer. One hole must be immediately behind the power supply for exhaust air, and the other should be used for routing the cables.

CAUTION: Cables should not be run through the exhaust air hole.

■ At least nine holes in the front drawer panel or in the bottom

of the drawer in front of the chassis for fresh air intake. The diameter of the holes must be between 0.38 and 0.5 inch (1.0 and 1.3 cm).

■ At least 1 inch (2.54 cm) of clear space below the drawer to

ensure proper air flow, if vent holes are located in the bottom of the mounting drawer.

■ At least 1 inch (2.54 cm) of clear space above the top of the

chassis.

Smart Cover Lock

The Smart Cover Lock is an optional feature and is available on select

✎

models only.

The Smart Cover Lock is a software-controllable cover lock, controlled by the setup password. This lock prevents unauthorized access to the internal components. The computer ships with the Smart Cover Lock in the unlocked position. For more information about locking the Smart Cover Lock, refer to the Desktop Management guide.

Using the Smart Cover FailSafe Key

If you enable the Smart Cover Lock and cannot enter your password to disable the lock, you will need a Smart Cover FailSafe Key to open the computer cover. You will need the key in any of the following circumstances:

■ Power outage

■ Startup failure

Hardware Upgrades

■ PC component (for example, processor or power supply) failure

■ Forgotten password

CAUTION: The Smart Cover FailSafe Key is a specialized tool available

from Compaq. Be prepared; order this key before you need one.

To obtain a FailSafe Key:

■ Contact your authorized Compaq reseller or service provider.

■ Refer to the Compaq Web site (www.compaq.com) for ordering

information.

■ Call the appropriate number listed in the warranty.

2–6 Hardware Reference Guide

Installing Additional Memory

The computer comes with double data rate synchronous dynamic random access memory (DDR-SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).

DIMMs

The memory sockets on the system board can be populated with industry-standard DIMMs. These memory module slots are populated with at least one preinstalled memory module. To achieve the maximum memory support, you may be required to replace the preinstalled DIMM with a higher capacity DIMM.

DDR-SDRAM DIMMs

For proper system operation, if your system supports DDR-SDRAM DIMMs, the DIMMs must be industry-standard 184-pin, unbuffered PC 1600 200 Mhz- or PC2100 266 Mhz-compliant, 2.5 volt DDR-SDRAM DIMMs. The DDR-SDRAM DIMMs must support CAS latency 2 or 2.5 (CL = 2 or CL = 2.5). They must also contain the mandatory JEDEC SPD information. DIMMs constructed with x4 SDRAM are not supported; the system will not start using unsupported DIMMs.

Hardware Upgrades

The Intel 845-G chipset does not support ECC memory.
