Introduction
1.3 Model Numbering Convention
The model numbering convention or HP systems is as follows:
1-2 361834-002 Technical Reference Guide
1.4 Serial Number
The unit's serial number is located on a sticker placed on the exterior cabinet. The serial number
is also written into firmware and may be read with HP Diagnostics or Insight Manager utilities.
1.5 Notational Conventions
The notational guidelines used in this guide are described in the following subsections.
1.5.1 Values
Hexadecimal values are indicated by a numerical or alpha-numerical value followed by the letter
“h.” Binary values are indicated by a value of ones and zeros followed by the letter “b.”
Numerical values that have no succeeding letter can be assumed to be decimal unless otherwise
stated.
1.5.2 Ranges
Ranges or limits for a parameter are shown using the following methods:
Example A: Bits <7..4> = bits 7, 6, 5, and 4.
Introduction
Example B: IRQ3-7, 9 = IRQ signals 3 through 7, and IRQ signal 9
1.5.3 Register Notation and Usage
This guide uses standard Intel naming conventions in discussing the microprocessor's (CPU)
internal registers. Registers that are accessed through programmable I/O using an indexing
scheme are indicated using the following format:
03C5.17h
In the example above, register 03C5.17h is accessed by writing the index port value 17h to the
index address (03C4h), followed by a write to or a read from port 03C5h.
1.5.4 Bit Notation and Byte Values
Bit designations are labeled between brackets (i.e., “bit <0 >”). Binary values are shown with the
most significant bit (MSb) on the far left, least significant bit (LSb) at the far right. Byte values in
hexadecimal are also shown with the MSB on the left, LSB on the right.

System Overview
2.3 Mechanical Design
This guide covers six form factors:
■ Ultra Slim Desktop (USDT)—Very slim design that can be used in a tradition desktop
(horizontal) orientation or as a small tower mounted in the supplied tower stand.
■ Small Form Factor (SFF)—A small-footprint desktop requiring minimal desk space.
■ Slim Tower (ST)—Slim design that can be used in a tradition desktop (horizontal)
orientation or as a small tower mounted in the supplied tower stand.
■ Microtower (MT)- A low-height tower that requires less vertical space than a minitower.
■ Convertible Minitower (CMT) —an ATX-type unit providing the most expandability and
being adaptable to desktop (horizontal) or floor-standing (vertical) placement.
The following subsections describe the mechanical (physical) aspects of models.
CAUTION: Voltages are present within the system unit whenever the unit is plugged into a live AC outlet,
Ä
regardless of the system's “Power On” condition. Always disconnect the power cable from the power
outlet and/or from the system unit before handling the system unit in any way.
The following information is intended primarily for identification purposes only. Before servicing these systems,
refer to the applicable Service Reference Guide. Service personnel should review training materials also
