HP Vectra XA 5/xxx PC Installing Main Memory Modules Installing Main Memory Modules • Each memory bank that you use must contain a pair of identical memory modules, installed in the pair of sockets for that bank. • The three memory banks (A, B, C) may be filled in any order, but it is advisable, for performance reasons, to fill them in the order A then B then C. • Memory can be upgraded in increments of 8 MB, 16 MB, 32 MB or 64 MB (by installing pairs of 4 MB, 8 MB, 16 MB or 32 MB modules). • HP does not support PCs in which the user has installed non-HP memory modules.

The main memory capacity can be extended to 144 MB or 160 MB by installing a further two pairs of 32 MB memory modules. This can be further extended to 192 MB by removing the original pair of modules, and replacing them with a pair of 32 MB modules. Banks may be filled in any order, but it is recommended to fill them in the order of A then B then C. Any banks which are occupied must always be filled with a pair of modules of identical capacity, type and speed. Different banks can be occupied by different capacities of modules, such as a pair of 32 MB modules, a pair of 16 MB modules, and a bank of 32 MB modules. 32 MB 32 MB 32 MB 32 MB 8 MB or 16 MB 8 MB or 16 MB 32 MB 32 MB 4 MB 4 MB 8 MB or 16 MB 8 MB or 16 MB 3
