Upgrading system memory The memory socket on the system board is populated with one memory module. To achieve the maximum memory support, you can populate the memory socket with up to 16 GB of memory. For proper system operation, the memory module must adhere to the following specifications: ● Industry-standard 260-pin Small Outline DIMM (SODIMM) ● Unbuffered non-ECC PC4-17000 DDR4-1866 MHz ● 1.2 volt DDR4-SDRAM memory module The thin client supports the following: ● Single-Rank and Dual-Rank modules ● Single-sided and double-sided memory modules A higher-speed DDR4 SODIMM module will actually operate at a maximum system memory speed of 1866 MHz. NOTE: The system does not operate properly when a nonsupported memory module is installed. Installing a memory module CAUTION: You must unplug the power cord and wait approximately 30 seconds for the power to drain before adding or removing the memory module. Regardless of the power-on state, voltage is always supplied to the memory module as long as the thin client is plugged into an active AC outlet. Adding or removing the memory module while voltage is present may cause irreparable damage to the memory module or system board. The memory module socket has gold-plated metal contacts. When upgrading the memory, it is important to use a memory module 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 thin client. Before beginning the following procedures, be sure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal object. For more information, refer to Electrostatic discharge on page 46. When handling a memory module, be careful not to touch any of the contacts. Doing so may damage the module. 1. Remove the thin client access panel. See Removing the access panel on page 14. WARNING! To reduce risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the internal system components to cool before you touch them. 2. Locate the memory module on the system board. See Locating internal components on page 17. Hardware changes 21

Upgrading system memory
The memory socket on the system board is populated with one memory module. To achieve the maximum
memory support, you can populate the memory socket with up to 16 GB of memory.
For proper system operation, the memory module must adhere to the following specifications:
●
Industry-standard 260-pin Small Outline DIMM (SODIMM)
●
Unbuffered non-ECC PC4-17000 DDR4-1866 MHz
●
1.2 volt DDR4-SDRAM memory module
The thin client supports the following:
●
Single-Rank and Dual-Rank modules
●
Single-sided and double-sided memory modules
A higher-speed DDR4 SODIMM module will actually operate at a maximum system memory speed of 1866
MHz.
NOTE:
The system does not operate properly when a nonsupported memory module is installed.
Installing a memory module
CAUTION:
You must unplug the power cord and wait approximately 30 seconds for the power to drain
before adding or removing the memory module. Regardless of the power-on state, voltage is always supplied
to the memory module as long as the thin client is plugged into an active AC outlet. Adding or removing the
memory module while voltage is present may cause irreparable damage to the memory module or system
board.
The memory module socket has gold-plated metal contacts. When upgrading the memory, it is important to
use a memory module 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 thin client. Before beginning the following
procedures, be sure 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.
