HP Kayak XA Minitower Series 05xx PC Workstations

Upgrading the Processor

The PC Workstation has only one processor slot on the system board and is
supplied with either a Pentium II or Pentium II processor which includes an
integrated heatsink, level-1 and level-2 cache memory.
The processors are contained on a module which is installed in the processor
socket and is held in place by a bracket. To remove the processor, press the two
plastic clips towards each other and pull the processor out of its connector.

Cache Memory

512 KB of level-two cache memory is integrated in the Pentium II Slot 1
processor package.

Main Memory

The PC Workstation has three DIMM slots on the system board for installing
main memory; slots Mem 1, Mem 2 and Mem 3. Models are supplied with 64 MB
of non-ECC main memory. Memory upgrades are only available in single 32 MB,
64 MB, 128 MB or 256 MB unbuffered ECC SDRAM modules.
Memory can be upgraded to a maximum of 768 MB using multiples of
(3 x 256 MB) of unbuffered ECC memory modules.
A serial EEPROM on each DIMM contains data on the memory speed. This
information is read at each power on, and access time settings are set
accordingly.

Video Memory Upgrade

The graphics controller installed on the PC Workstation could be either an
ELSA GLoria Synergy™, a Matrox Millennium G200 or an Accel Galaxy AGP.
The Matrox Millennium G200 has a total of 8 MB of video memory already
supplied on the graphics controller board. Memory may be upgraded to a
maximum of 16 MB by installing a memory module of 8 MB onto the board. No
switch or jumper settings need to be changed.
The ELSA GLoria Synergy includes 4 MB of video SGRAM memory installed on
the graphics board. Added to this, there is a pre-installed 4 MB SO_DIMM video
memory module, giving a total of 8 MB (this is the maximum amount of video
memory possible).
The Accel Galaxy AGP Graphics card has 31 MB of video memory already
supplied on the graphics controller board, which cannot be further upgraded.
This card is supported only on the Windows NT operating system. Drivers do
not exist for Windows 95 nor Windows 98 operating systems.
