Installing Additional Memory; Sodimms; Ddr2-Sdram Sodimms - HP dc7900 series Hardware Reference Manual

Installing Additional Memory

The computer comes with double data rate 2 synchronous dynamic random access memory (DDR2-
SDRAM) small outline dual inline memory modules (SODIMMs).

SODIMMs

The memory sockets on the system board can be populated with up to two industry-standard SODIMMs.
These memory sockets are populated with at least one preinstalled SODIMM. To achieve the maximum
memory support, you can populate the system board with up to 8-GB of memory.

DDR2-SDRAM SODIMMs

For proper system operation, the SODIMMs must be:
● industry-standard 200-pin
●
unbuffered PC2-6400 800 MHz-compliant
●
1.8 volt DDR2-SDRAM SODIMMs
The DDR2-SDRAM SODIMMs must also:
●
support CAS latency 5 DDR2 800 Mhz (5-5-5 timing) and CAS latency 6 DDR2 800 Mhz (6-6-6
timing)
●
contain the mandatory Joint Electronic Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) specification
In addition, the computer supports:
●
512-Mbit and 1-Gbit 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 will not operate properly if you install unsupported SODIMMs.
Refer to the Computer Setup (F10) Utility Guide for information on how to determine the processor bus
frequency of a specific computer.
