Memory

Intel 955X Express chipset DDR2 SDRAM ECC MEMORY

Only unbuffered DDR2 DIMMs are supported and must be either x8 or x16 width. Memory upgrades are accomplished by adding DIMMs of the same or varied sizes. This chart does not represent all possible memory configurations. The Intel 955X chipset supports ECC 667 MHz (PC2-5300) DDR2 memory or non-ECC and ECC 533 MHz (PC2-4300) DDR2 memory.

For best performance the total amount and type of memory loaded into Channel A and Channel B should be the same. If it is not, your computer will see all the RAM installed but will run the memory controller at a lower performance mode. Although not required, for best performance add the memory in pairs rather than as a single DIMM (two 512 MB DIMMs will have better performance than a single 1 GB DIMM). Also, add the memory into both channels (e.g. one in socket 1 and one in socket 3) to take advantage of dual channel performance. If you have unused slots within a channel, make them socket 2 and socket 4. This provides the best margin for the memory bus.

CAUTION:

Mixing speeds will mean that the memory runs at the speed of the slowest DIMM.

Do not mix ECC and non-ECC memory. The system will not boot if ECC and non-ECC DIMMs are mixed.

Do not mix single-sided and double-sided DIMMs. Both sides of a double-sided DIMM must have the same memory size. Each rank (side) of the DIMM must be the same size.

MAXIMUM MEMORY

Supports up to 8 GB of ECC DDR2 533 MHz or 4 GB of DDR2 667 MHz SDRAM

HP Client Management

HP Client Management Solutions help simplify management of Workstations and significantly reduce

Solutions

total ownership costs. These solutions share a common design and are highly integrated due to the

 

 

extensive work between HP and its partner Altiris.

 

 

HP Client Manager Software is included free with all HP business PCs and Workstations. It enables

 

 

central tracking, monitoring, and management of the hardware aspects of HP client systems:

 

 

Get valuable hardware information such as CPU, memory, video, and security settings

 

 

Monitor system health to fix problems before they occur

 

 

Install drivers and BIOS updates without visiting each PC

 

 

Remotely configure BIOS and security settings

 

 

Automate processes to quickly resolve hardware problems

 

 

Additional Altiris solutions (fee-based) are available to address Workstation management challenges

 

 

through the entire IT lifecycle including:

 

 

Inventory assessment

 

 

Software license compliance

 

 

Personality migration

 

 

Software image deployment

Drive Self Tests (DPS)

SMART Technology

(Self-Monitoring, Analysis

and Reporting Technology)

Drive Protection System (Adaptec and LSI SCSI controllers do not offer DPS)

A diagnostic hard drive self test. It scans critical physical components and every sector of the hard drive for physical faults and then reports any faults to the user.

Running independently of the operating system, it can be accessed through the computer's setup procedure. It produces an evaluation on whether the hard drive is the source of the problem and needs to be replaced.

The system expands on the Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (SMART), a continuously running systems diagnostic that alerts the user to certain types of failures

DPS Access through F10 Setup during Boot (F10 diagnostic access not available with SCSI drives)

Allows hard drives to monitor their own health and to raise flags if imminent failures were predicted Predicts failures before they occur. Tracks fault prediction and failure indication parameters such as reallocated sector count, spin retry count, calibration retry count.

By avoiding actual hard drive failures, SMART hard drives act as "insurance" against unplanned user downtime and potential data loss from hard drive failure.

SMART I – Drive Failure Prediction

SMART II – Off-Line Data Collection

SMART III – Off-Line Read Scanning with Defect Reallocation
