Removing, Replacing and Upgrading Memory on Kayak
XM600 Models
IMPORTANT NOTEThis text was updated in December 2000 and replaces all earlier
information on memory replacement in the HP Kayak XM600.
Replacing SDRAM
SDRAM was available on some XM600 models shipped before May 2000.
Following an announcement made by the Intel Corporation that SDRAM
memory should not be used with the Intel 820 chipset (the chipset used in
the Kayak XM600) HP is replacing all SDRAM memory shipped with
RDRAM (RAMBUS DRAM) memory.
To determine whether you have SDRAM or RDRAM memory installed,
remove the cover of the PC. SDRAM models of the HP Kayak XM600 carry a
Memory Expansion Card supporting one or two Synchronized Dynamic
RAM (SDRAM) 100 MHz memory modules .
If a memory Expansion Card is installed, as shown below, then the PC
contains SDRAM memory.
To carry out the conversion, you should contact HP Support. You will then
be able to upgrade with RDRAM memory as described below.
The Memory Expansion Card is installed in a reserved memory socket on
the system board (the third socket, furthest from the processor(s)). The
two remaining memory sockets on the system board, RIMM0 and RIMM1
each contain a continuity module.

Installing Mass Storage Devices
The PC has an integrated Ultra ATA-66 controller that supports up to four
IDE devices. Removable media IDE devices, such as CD-ROM drives, DVD
drives, tape drives and Zip drives, require front access. In addition to the
floppy disk drive, your PC can support another 3.5-inch internal device plus
two front-access 5.25-inch devices. Note that one front-access shelf may
already have a CD-ROM drive installed in it.
Refer to the drive’s manual to see if you must set jumpers or if there is a
special installation procedure to follow.
If you add an IDE Zip drive, hard disk drive, DVD drive, CD-ROM drive, CDRW drive, or tape drive, you need to connect it to power and data cables.
The data cables and connectors provided are shown below:

Which IDE Data
Connectors to Use
There are three data cables inside your PC Workstation. Two of these are
for IDE devices.
•The ATA IDE cable supports two IDE devices. This cable is connected
to the Primary IDE connector on the system board. The bootable hard
disk drive is connected to this cable via the MASTER connector. A
second hard disk drive could be installed by using the SLAVE connector.
•A second IDE drive cable supports two IDE devices. If you install a CD-
ROM drive, a DVD drive or a Zip drive, connect it to this cable.
•The third cable has one connector for a floppy drive.
The following table explains which data connectors you should use when
you install additional devices.

Before Installing a
SCSI Hard Disk
(Selected Models
Only)
NOTEYou do not need to select a SCSI ID for Plug and Play SCSI hard disks
If you are installing an additional SCSI drive, you should configure an
unused SCSI ID to this accessory. SCSI IDs range from 0 to 15 for
Ultrawide 16-bit SCSI. SCSI ID 0 is used by the first SCSI hard disk drive
and SCSI ID 7 is reserved for the integrated SCSI controller (the default for
narrow and wide SCSI devices).
(SCSI hard disks that support the SCAM protocol).
The total length of the external SCSI cables should not exceed 3 meters
(approximately 10 feet).
You should assign an unused SCSI ID to the second SCSI hard disk drive
(for example, SCSI ID 1).
The SCSI ID is usually configured with jumpers on the SCSI hard disk drive.
Refer to the installation guide supplied with the drive for information on
selecting a SCSI ID.
Some internal SCSI disk drives may have termination resistors that must be
removed or disabled before installation in your PC Workstation. Refer to
the drive’s installation guide for more details and to see if there is a special
installation procedure to follow.

Working in Comfort
Thank you for selecting HP computing equipment.
To optimize your comfort and productivity, it is important that you set up
your work area correctly and use your HP equipment properly. With that
in mind, we have developed some set-up and use recommendations for
you to follow based on established ergonomic principles.
Improper and prolonged use of keyboards and input devices are among
those tasks that have been associated with repetitive strain injury (RSI)
to soft tissues in the hands and arms. If you experience discomfort or
pain while using any computing equipment, discontinue use immediately
and consult your physician as soon as possible.
In addition to the information on RSI given in this chapter, you may also
consult the online version of Working in Comfort preloaded on the hard
disk of your HP computing equipment, or visit HP’s Working in Comfort
web site at:

About Repetitive
Strain Injury
What is RSI?Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI—also known as cumulative trauma disorder
Because your comfort and safety are our primary concern, we strongly
recommend that you use HP computing equipment in accordance with
established ergonomic principles and recommendations. Scientific
literature suggests that there may be a relationship between injury to soft
tissues—especially in the hands and arms—and prolonged improper use
of keyboards or other equipment requiring repeated motions of the hands
and forearms. This literature also suggests that there are many other risk
factors that may increase the chance of such injury, commonly called
Repetitive Strain Injury.
or repetitive motion injury) is a type of injury where soft tissues in the
body, such as muscles, nerves, or tendons, become irritated or inflamed.
RSI has been a reported problem for those who perform repetitive tasks
such as assembly line work, meatpacking, sewing, playing musical
instruments, and computer work. RSI also has been observed in those
who frequently engage in activities such as carpentry, knitting,
housework, gardening, tennis, windsurfing and lifting children.
Page 64
4 Working in Comfort
What causes RSI?The specific causes of RSI have not been established. Nevertheless, the
incidence of RSI has been associated with a variety of risk factors,
including:
•Too many uninterrupted repetitions of an activity or motion.
•Performing an activity in an awkward or unnatural posture.
•Maintaining static posture for prolonged periods.
•Failing to take frequent short breaks.
•Other environmental and psychosocial factors.
In addition, there have been reports associating the occurrence of RSI
with the use of computer keyboards, mice, and other input devices. Also,
certain medical conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, obesity and
diabetes, may predispose some people to this type of injury.
What can I do to avoid
RSI?
What if I experience
discomfort?
Preparing Your
Work Environment
Some people who use computers may experience physical discomfort
during their use. This discomfort may be a symptom of a repetitive strain
injury. Properly setting up and using computing equipment can help to
minimize your chances of experiencing this discomfort. Well-designed
and properly adjusted equipment alone may not be sufficient to eliminate
all potential problems. Maintaining good posture and positioning when
working on computers also has a significant bearing on your comfort.
If you are experiencing any discomfort, seek professional medical advice
immediately. Typically, the earlier a problem is diagnosed and treated,
the easier it is to resolve.
When using HP computing equipment, it is important that your work
environment contributes to your comfort and productivity.
Your ChairIt's very important that your chair provides a comfortable sitting position
and offers the following features:
•A stable base, such as five legs with casters. Make sure the
casters are designed for the type of floor you have in your workspace,
whether it is bare or carpeted.
•A height- and tilt-adjustment feature. It should be easy to adjust
your chair height from 40 cm to 52 cm (15.5 inches to 20.5 inches) as
measured from the top of the seat pan to the floor. If you are much
taller or shorter than average, you may need a chair that can be
adjusted beyond this range. Adjust your chair so that the work surface
or keyboard tray is at elbow height and your feet are flat on the floor
with your knees slightly bent below your hips. Ideally, the seat pan
should be able to tilt both forward (minimum of 5 degrees) and
backward (minimum of 10 degrees). If the chair has an adjustable seat
pan, inclining the seat slightly forward will transfer some of the
pressure from the spine to the thighs and feet. This will relieve
pressure on your back.
64 English
Page 65
4 Working in Comfort
•A curved seat edge. The front of the seat should be curved and
finished in a “waterfall” edge.
•An adjustable back support in both height and forward and
backward tilt. It is important that the backrest correctly supports the
lower part, or lumbar curve, of the back.
•A freely rotating swivel so you can move easily from side-to-side.
•Fully adjustable and padded armrests. The chair arms should not
interfere with adjusting the chair or moving it close to your work
surface.

Your Work SurfaceIdeally, you should be able to adjust the height of your work surface.
A simple way to ensure your work surface is at the correct height is to
first adjust the height of the seat-pan of your chair. With your chair
properly adjusted and your feet firmly on the floor, adjust the work
surface height until your forearms are parallel to the floor when you have
your fingers on the keyboard or other input device.
Your Work PostureSitting in one position for long periods can be uncomfortable. To
minimize the potential for physical discomfort or injury, it's important
that you maintain proper posture.
•Back - While sitting at your work surface, make sure your back is
supported by the chair's backrest in an erect position or angled
slightly backwards.
•Arms - Your arms should be relaxed and loose, elbows close to your
sides, with forearms and hands approximately parallel to the floor.
English 65
Page 66
4 Working in Comfort
•Wrists - Your wrists should be as straight as possible while using the
keyboard, mouse or trackball. They should not be bent sideways, or
more than 10 degrees up or down.
•Legs - Your thighs should be horizontal or angled slightly downward.
Your lower legs should be near a right angle to your thighs. Your feet
should rest flat on the floor. If necessary, use a footrest, but double
check that you have your seat height adjusted correctly before getting
a footrest.
•Head - Your head should be upright or tilted slightly forward. Avoid
working with your head or trunk twisted.
•Overall - Change your position frequently and take regular breaks to
avoid fatigue.
Setting Up Your
HP Computing
Equipment
Make sure that all the elements of your HP computer system—monitor,
document holder, keyboard, mice and other input devices, and
headphones and speakers—are optimally arranged and adjusted to meet
your personal requirements. The recommendations that follow will help
you achieve this.
Your HP MonitorIt is important that your monitor screen be clean and positioned correctly
to improve readability and help you work comfortably. Glare, high
contrast, reflections, dirt and dust will interfere with what you see on the
screen. The recommendations that follow can help you achieve a
comfortable arrangement.
•The top of your monitor screen should be at or slightly below eye level.
Most HP monitors come with a tilt-and-swivel feature that makes it
easy to adjust the screen position.
•To avoid obscuring your view, the screen should be positioned
perpendicular to your line of sight; that is, straight on.
•To avoid glare or reflection, try to position the monitor so the screen
is at a right angle to your window rather than in front of it. If reflection
or glare persists, tilting the screen forward may help.
66 English
Page 67
4 Working in Comfort
•Maintain a comfortable viewing distance to the screen. Most people
prefer a viewing distance of approximately 46 to 76 cm (18 to
30 inches), depending on monitor size. Character size and the amount
of space available on the work surface can affect this distance.
•Text should be easy to read. To help ease eyestrain, adjust text
attributes such as character size, spacing, and color. In addition, you
will need to use the controls provided with your monitor to adjust the
visual settings so that contrast and brightness levels are comfortable
for you. High contrast and low brightness is usually the preferable
combination.
•The monitor should be free from flicker. If the image on your screen is
not stable, the monitor may require repair or adjustment.
•When possible, use a program that has a simple user interface, such as
easily identifiable icons and pull-down menus. Also, screen
information should be displayed in a structured and well-organized
way.
Monitor Use
Specifications

•When viewing your monitor, your head should not be tilted more than
15 degrees forward.
•You should not have to look up more than 5 degrees above horizontal
or down more than 30 degrees below horizontal for normal work tasks,
such as typing or reading.
English 67
Page 68
4 Working in Comfort
Document HoldersWhen keying in data from a hard-copy document, placing it in a
document holder rather than on a flat surface will make it easier to read.
The following recommendations should be observed when using a
document holder:
•The document holder should be at approximately the same height and
distance from your eyes as the screen, and as close to the monitor as
possible to prevent neck twisting. Some users prefer a document
holder mounted to the monitor while others prefer the document
holder positioned between the screen and keyboard.
•If the primary task is to view documents rather than using the monitor,
the document holder may be placed directly in front of the keyboard
with the monitor slightly to the side.
•To help reduce stress on your neck and prevent eye fatigue, try to
minimize the movement of your head and eyes while using a document
holder.

The proper positioning and use of your HP keyboard is important when
using HP computing equipment. Be sure to observe the following
recommendations to optimize your comfort and safety:
•We recommend you place your keyboard in front of the screen or
document holder, whichever is viewed the most. Your HP keyboard
has long cables so you can place it in the position that is most
comfortable for you while you are using your system.
•Because HP keyboards vary in depth, you'll want to be sure that your
work surface or keyboard tray has sufficient room to accommodate
your model. The keyboard tray should be wide enough to hold both
the keyboard and mouse or trackball: 66 to 71 cm (26 to 28 inches).
•Your HP keyboard may have a kickstand that can be opened or closed
to raise or lower the keyboard angle. If you are in the correct sitting
position with your elbows at about the same level as the work surface,
you may not need to use it. However, if your elbows are below the
work surface, you may wish to use the kickstand to raise the back of
the keyboard.
68 English
Page 69
4 Working in Comfort
•An adjustable keyboard tray may be useful if you cannot adjust your
chair or work surface to the proper height for typing. It should adjust
in height from 64 to 76 cm (25 to 30 inches) above the floor and tilt
forward and backward to help you find the most comfortable position.
Note that research has shown that there may be less muscle tension in
shoulders and forearms with the keyboard tilted away from you.
•When using your HP keyboard, remember it takes very little pressure
or force from your fingers to activate the keys. Improper typing style—
the use of too much force—can place unnecessary stress on the
tendons and muscles in your hands, wrists, and forearms.
•Make sure that your hands are in a neutral position when you use your
keyboard. This means that your forearms, wrists, and hands should be
in a straight line.
•The keyboard has a low profile to help prevent excessive bending of
your wrists while typing. Literature suggests that you should not bend
your wrists sideways or more than 10 degrees up or down. Keep your
wrists straight by moving your entire hand and forearm over to use the
function keys or numeric keypad.
•You may use a palm rest to help keep your hands and wrists in a
comfortable and neutral position when you are not typing. Some HP
keyboards come with an integrated palm rest. If you use a palm rest,
see that it is rounded and padded, and flush in height with the front
edge of the keyboard. Note that your palms—not your wrists—should
rest on the palm rest. If you don't have a palm rest, try not to rest your
wrists on a sharp edge, such as a work surface edge.
Mice and Other
Input Devices
Various aspects of using mice and other input devices may increase your
risk of discomfort or injury. Observing the following recommendations
may reduce that risk:
•As with the keyboard, try to keep your hand, wrist and forearm in a
neutral position while using your mouse or other input device.
English 69
Page 70
4 Working in Comfort
Headphones and
Speakers
•When using a stylus or light pen with a graphics tablet, don't grip the
stylus tightly. Keep your hand and fingers relaxed and try to maintain
a neutral posture in your hand, wrist and forearm.
•If you use your thumb to rotate the ball on a trackball or spaceball,
keep it in a relaxed, natural shape, and maintain a neutral posture in
your hand, wrist and forearm.
•Hold the mouse gently by draping your fingers over it. Keep your hand
relaxed and fingers loose. Do not grip the mouse tightly.
•It takes very little pressure or force from your fingers to activate the
buttons or scroll wheel on your mouse, scrolling mouse, trackball or
other input device. Using too much force can place unnecessary stress
on the tendons and muscles in your hands, wrists and forearms.
•If you are using a scrolling mouse, be sure to keep your fingers and
hand in a relaxed, neutral position when activating the scroll wheel.
Also, this type of mouse features software that can minimize the
number of mouse movements or button clicks.
•When using a mouse, trackball, stylus and graphics tablet, or other
input device, position it as close to the keyboard as possible, and keep
it at the same level so you do not have to stretch while using it.
•Use a good quality mouse pad to enable the mouse to work most
effectively and reduce unnecessary hand and wrist movements.
•Be sure to keep your mouse and trackball clean. Regular removal of
accumulated dust and dirt helps ensure proper tracking and reduces
unnecessary hand and wrist motions.
Listening to loud sounds for prolonged periods may permanently damage
your hearing. To avoid discomfort from unexpected noise, always turn
down the volume before connecting headphones or speakers to your HP
equipment.
When you put on the headphones, slowly increase the volume until you
find a comfortable listening level, then leave the volume control in that
position.

are using both a mouse and keyboard, place them both at the same
work surface height and close together. If a palm rest is used, the
height should be flush with the front edge of the keyboard. Other
items, such as your telephone or notepad, also should be considered.
•Monitor - Place your monitor so that the top of the screen is at, or
slightly below, eye level (up to 15 degrees).
•Head - Do not tilt your head forward by more than 15 degrees, and try
not to turn your head toward the side.
•Back - While sitting at your work surface, make sure your back is
supported by the chair's backrest in an erect position or angled
slightly backwards.
•Arms - Make sure your arms and elbows are relaxed and loose, with
your upper arm perpendicular to the floor or slightly forward. Keep
your forearms and hands approximately parallel with the floor with
elbows bent between 70 and 115 degrees. Keep your elbows close to
your sides (less than 20 degrees away from your body).
•Legs - Your thighs should be horizontal or angled slightly downward.
Your lower legs should be near a right angle to your thighs. Make sure
there is sufficient room under the work surface for your legs.
•Feet - If after adjusting your chair you cannot rest your feet
comfortably on the floor, use a footrest, preferably one that can be
adjusted in height and angle.

4 Working in Comfort
Overall•Look away from the screen from time-to-time to help reduce
eyestrain. Focus on distant objects briefly, and blink periodically to
lubricate your eyes. You also should have your eyes checked on a
regular basis and ensure your eyeglass prescription is suitable for
working on a monitor screen.
•Remember to occasionally shift position and move your body. Keeping
your body in one position for long periods is unnatural and stressful.
When prolonged work is required, take frequent short breaks. As a
rule of thumb, a five or ten minute break every hour is a good idea.
Short frequent breaks are more beneficial than longer less frequent
breaks. Data show that people who work for long periods of time
without a break may be more prone to injury.
•Changing tasks frequently will help prevent muscle stiffness.
Examples: alternating between keyboarding, reading, writing, filing,
and moving around in your work environment, helps you maintain a
relaxed posture. Occasionally stretch the muscles in your hands, arms,
shoulders, neck and back. You should stretch at least as often as you
take brief task breaks—at least once every hour.
•Discomfort may be alleviated by using alternative ergonomic designs
and accessories such as ergonomically personalized chairs, palm rests,
keyboard trays, alternative input devices, prescription eyeglasses,
anti-glare screens, and more. Seek additional information from the
sources available to you, including your employer, doctor, local office
supply store, and the Information Sources listed in the online version
of Working in Comfort, preloaded on the hard disk of your HP
computing equipment.
