Hardware Upgrades ■ DIMMs constructed with x8 and x16 DDR devices with four banks; DIMMs constructed with x4 SDRAM are not supported ✎ The system may not boot if you install unsupported DIMMs. The following processor bus frequencies are required for the system to run at the supported memory frequencies. DIMM If Processor Bus Frequency is Memory Frequency is PC2100 400 MHz 266 MHz PC2100 533 MHz 266 MHz PC2700 400 MHz 266 MHz PC2700 533 MHz 333 MHz PC3200 400 MHz 266 MHz PC3200 533 MHz 333 MHz If a memory frequency is paired with an unsupported processor bus frequency, the system will run at the highest supported memory speed. For example, if a 333 MHz DIMM is paired with a 400 MHz processor bus, the system will run at 266 MHz, the highest supported memory speed. Installing DDR1-SDRAM DIMMs Ä CAUTION: The memory module sockets have gold metal contacts. When upgrading the memory, it is important to use memory modules with gold metal contacts to prevent corrosion and/or oxidation resulting from having incompatible metals in contact with each other. Ä CAUTION: 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. Refer to Appendix F, "Electrostatic Discharge" for more information. Hardware Reference Guide www.hp.com 2-5
