Populating Sodimm Sockets; Installing Sodimms - HP t730 Hardware Reference Manual

●
2 Gb and 4 Gb non-ECC memory technologies
● single-sided and double-sided SODIMMS
●
SODIMMs constructed with x8 and x16 devices; SODIMMs constructed with x4 SDRAM are not supported
NOTE: The system does not operate properly when unsupported SODIMMs are installed.

Populating SODIMM sockets

There are two SODIMM sockets on the system board. The sockets are labeled DIMM1 and DIMM2.
Item Description
1 SODIMM1 socket
2 SODIMM2 socket
The system operates in dual-channel mode.

Installing SODIMMs

CAUTION: You must disconnect the AC 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 thin client 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 thin client or optional cards. 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
When handling a memory module, be careful not to touch any of the contacts. Doing so may damage the
module.
1. Remove/disengage any security devices that prohibit opening the thin client.
2. Remove all removable media, such as USB flash drives, from the thin client.
3. Turn off the thin client properly through the operating system, and then turn off any external devices.
4. Disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet, and disconnect any external devices.
CAUTION:
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 thin client 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.
5. Remove the stand from the thin client.
6. Lay the unit flat on a stable surface with the right side up.
7. Remove the thin client access panel. See
