Answers and Explanations

1 Can you use a non-Ultra ATA cable with an Ultra ATA device?
b No, you must use an Ultra ATA cable with an Ultra ATA device. Using a
non-ATA cable may give unpredictable results and may lead to data loss.
Refer to "HP PC Product Comparison" on page 7 for more information about
the data cables used in the PC.
2 What must you check before you change the system board?
a Check that the latest driver versions are installed.
b Check that the latest BIOS has been flashed.
c Check that the problem you are trying to solve isn't described in the
product bug-list.

3 What type of BIOS is in the HP Small PC 20 / HP Net PC 20?
d An Award BIOS.

4 The client wishes to accelerate the processing throughput of the PC. Which of
the following options are viable:
b Replacing the current processor by a faster processor (if available).
c Installing more main memory modules.
Unless it is an official overdrive version of the original processor, HP does not
support the replacement of a processor by a faster one, even when models
exist that use the faster processor. Installing more main memory increases
the performance of the virtual memory system. Changing the processor speed
jumpers to use a faster processor speed than that for which the installed
processor has been qualified is not supported by HP and may lead to data
loss.
Refer to "Installing Memory Modules" on page 23 for more information about
upgrading the main memory.
