●
the OS. Default is enabled.
NIC PXE Option ROM Download (PXE, iSCSI, disabled). The BIOS contains an embedded
●
NIC option ROM to allow the unit to boot through the network to a PXE server. This is
typically used to download a corporate image to a hard drive. The NIC option ROM takes up
memory space below 1MB commonly referred to as DOS Compatibility Hole (DCH) space.
This space is limited. This F10 option will allow users to disable the downloading of this
embedded NIC option ROM thus giving more DCH space for additional PCI cards which may
need option ROM space. The default will be to have the NIC option-ROM-enabled. Default is
PXE.

SATA Hard Drive Cables
SATA Data Cable
Always use an HP approved SATA 3.0 Gb/s cable as it is fully backwards compatible with the SATA
1.5 Gb/s drives.
Current HP desktop products ship with SATA 3.0 Gb/s hard drives.
SATA data cables are susceptible to damage if overflexed. Never crease a SATA data cable and
never bend it tighter than a 30 mm (1.18 in) radius.
The SATA data cable is a thin, 7-pin cable designed to transmit data for only a single drive.
SATA Hard Drives33
SMART ATA Drives
The Self Monitoring Analysis and Recording Technology (SMART) ATA drives for the HP Personal
Computers have built-in drive failure prediction that warns the user or network administrator of an
impending failure or crash of the hard drive. The SMART drive tracks fault prediction and failure
indication parameters such as reallocated sector count, spin retry count, and calibration retry count. If
the drive determines that a failure is imminent, it generates a fault alert.
Hard Drive Capacities
The combination of the file system and the operating system used in the computer determines the
maximum usable size of a drive partition. A drive partition is the largest segment of a drive that may
be properly accessed by the operating system. A single hard drive may therefore be subdivided into a
number of unique drive partitions in order to make use of all of its space.
Because of the differences in the way that drive sizes are calculated, the size reported by the
operating system may differ from that marked on the hard drive or listed in the computer specification.
Drive size calculations by drive manufacturers are bytes to the base 10 while calculations by
Microsoft are bytes to the base 2.

6Routine Care and Disassembly
Preparation
This chapter provides general service information for the computer. Adherence to the procedures and
precautions described in this chapter is essential for proper service.
CAUTION: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 system board or component damage.
Electrostatic Discharge Information
A sudden discharge of static electricity from your finger or other conductor can destroy static-sensitive
devices or microcircuitry. Often the spark is neither felt nor heard, but damage occurs. An electronic
device exposed to electrostatic discharge (ESD) may not appear to be affected at all and can work
perfectly throughout a normal cycle. The device may function normally for a while, but it has been
degraded in the internal layers, reducing its life expectancy.
Networks built into many integrated circuits provide some protection, but in many cases, the
discharge contains enough power to alter device parameters or melt silicon junctions.
Generating Static
The following table shows that:
Different activities generate different amounts of static electricity.

Preventing Electrostatic Damage to Equipment
Many electronic components are sensitive to ESD. Circuitry design and structure determine the
degree of sensitivity. The following packaging and grounding precautions are necessary to prevent
damage to electric components and accessories.
To avoid hand contact, transport products in static-safe containers such as tubes, bags, or
●
boxes.
Protect all electrostatic parts and assemblies with conductive or approved containers or
●
packaging.
Keep electrostatic sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free stations.
●
Place items on a grounded surface before removing them from their container.

Operating Guidelines
To prevent overheating and to help prolong the life of the computer:
Keep the computer away from excessive moisture, direct sunlight, and extremes of heat and
●
cold.
Operate the computer on a sturdy, level surface. Leave a 10.2-cm (4-inch) clearance on all
●
vented sides of the computer and above the monitor to permit the required airflow.
Never restrict the airflow into the computer by blocking any vents or air intakes. Do not place the
●
keyboard, with the keyboard feet down, directly against the front of the desktop unit as this also
restricts airflow.
Occasionally clean the air vents on all vented sides of the computer. Lint, dust, and other foreign
●
matter can block the vents and limit the airflow. Be sure to unplug the computer before cleaning
the air vents.
Never operate the computer with the cover or side panel removed.
●
Do not stack computers on top of each other or place computers so near each other that they
●
are subject to each other’s re-circulated or preheated air.
If the computer is to be operated within a separate enclosure, intake and exhaust ventilation
●
must be provided on the enclosure, and the same operating guidelines listed above will still
apply.
Keep liquids away from the computer and keyboard.
●
Never cover the ventilation slots on the monitor with any type of material.
●
Install or enable power management functions of the operating system or other software,
●
including sleep states.

The computer comes with double data rate 3 synchronous dynamic random access memory (DDR3SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).
DDR3-SDRAM DIMMs
The system board offers two memory sockets.
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 8-GB of memory.
For proper system operation, the DDR3-SDRAM DIMMs must be:
support 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.
Memory45
Populating DIMM Sockets
Populate the DIMM sockets in the following order: XMM1, XMM2 or Channel A, Channel B.

The system will automatically operate in single channel mode, dual channel mode, or flex mode,
depending on how the DIMMs are installed.
The system will operate in single channel mode if the DIMM sockets are populated in one
●
channel only.
●The system will operate in a higher-performing dual channel mode if the total memory capacity
of the DIMMs in Channel A is equal to the total memory capacity of the DIMMs in Channel B.
The technology and device width can vary between the channels. For example, if Channel A is
populated with one 1-GB DIMM and Channel B is populated with one 2-GB DIMM, the system
will operate in dual channel mode.
46Chapter 7 Removal and Replacement Procedures – Microtower Chassis
The system will operate in flex mode if the total memory capacity of the DIMMs in Channel A is
●
not equal to the total memory capacity of the DIMMs in Channel B. In flex mode, the channel
populated with the least amount of memory describes the total amount of memory assigned to
dual channel and the remainder is assigned to single channel. For optimal speed, the channels
should be balanced so that the largest amount of memory is spread between the two channels.
If one channel will have more memory than the other, the larger amount should be assigned to
Channel A. For example, if you are populating the sockets with one 2-GB DIMM, and one 1-GB
DIMM, Channel A should be populated with the 2-GB DIMM, and Channel B should be
populated with the 1-GB DIMM. With this configuration, 2 GB will run as dual channel and 1 GB
will run as single channel.
In any mode, the maximum operational speed is determined by the slowest DIMM in the system.
●
The system will automatically operate in single channel mode, dual channel mode, or flex mode,
depending on how the DIMMs are installed.
Removing Memory Modules
CAUTION:You must disconnect the power cord and wait approximately 30 seconds for the power
to drain before adding or removing memory modules. Regardless of the power-on state, voltage is
always supplied to the memory modules as long as the computer is plugged into an active AC outlet.
Adding or removing memory modules while voltage is present may cause irreparable damage to the
memory modules or system board.
The memory module sockets have gold-plated metal contacts. When upgrading the memory, it is
important to use memory modules with gold-plated metal contacts to prevent corrosion and/or
oxidation resulting from having incompatible metals in contact with each other.
Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer or optional cards. Before
beginning these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a
grounded metal object.
When handling a memory module, be careful not to touch any of the contacts. Doing so may damage
the module.

2-GB, PC3-10600635803-001
1-GB, PC3-10600635802-001
The computer comes with double data rate 3 synchronous dynamic random access memory (DDR3SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).
DDR3-SDRAM DIMMs
The memory sockets on the system board can be populated with up to two 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 8 GB of memory:
For proper system operation, the DDR3-SDRAM DIMMs must be:
support 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.
Memory83
Populating DIMM Sockets
There are two DIMM sockets on the system board, with one socket per channel.
Populate the DIMM sockets in the following order: Channel A then Channel B
Figure 8-5 DIMM Socket Locations
Table 8-1 DIMM Socket Locations
DescriptionSocket ColorInsertion Order
Channel A (populate first)Blue1
Channel BBlue2
NOTE: A DIMM must occupy the Channel A socket.
The system will operate in single channel mode if the DIMM sockets are populated in one
●
channel only.
The system will operate in a higher-performing dual channel mode if the total memory capacity
●
of the DIMM in Channel A is equal to the total memory capacity of the DIMM in Channel B. The
technology and device width can vary between the channels. For example, if Channel A is
populated with one 2-GB DIMMs and Channel B is populated with one 2-GB DIMM, the system
will operate in dual channel mode.
The system will operate in flex mode if the total memory capacity of the DIMM in Channel A is
●
not equal to the total memory capacity of the DIMM in Channel B. In flex mode, the channel
populated with the least amount of memory describes the total amount of memory assigned to
dual channel and the remainder is assigned to single channel. For optimal speed, the channels
should be balanced so that the largest amount of memory is spread between the two channels.
If one channel will have more memory than the other, the larger amount should be assigned to
Channel A. For example, if you are populating the sockets with one 2-GB DIMM, and one 1-GB
DIMMs, Channel A should be populated with the 2-GB DIMM, and Channel B should be
84Chapter 8 Removal and Replacement Procedures – Small Form Factor (SFF) Chassis
populated with the 1-GB DIMM. With this configuration, 2 GB will run as dual channel and 1 GB
will run as single channel.
In any mode, the maximum operational speed is determined by the slowest DIMM in the system.
●
The system will automatically operate in single channel mode, dual channel mode, or flex mode,
depending on how the DIMMs are installed.
Removing DIMMs
CAUTION:You must disconnect the power cord and wait approximately 30 seconds for the power
to drain before adding or removing memory modules. Regardless of the power-on state, voltage is
always supplied to the memory modules as long as the computer is plugged into an active AC outlet.
Adding or removing memory modules while voltage is present may cause irreparable damage to the
memory modules or system board.
The memory module sockets have gold-plated metal contacts. When upgrading the memory, it is
important to use memory modules with gold-plated metal contacts to prevent corrosion and/or
oxidation resulting from having incompatible metals in contact with each other.
Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer or optional cards. Before
beginning these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a
grounded metal object. For more information, refer to
When handling a memory module, be careful not to touch any of the contacts. Doing so may damage
the module.
