HP Compaq dc7900 Business PC

Standard Features and Configurable Components

If a client cannot prove it is compliant with system health requirements (for example, that it has the latest operating system and antivirus updates installed), its access to the network or communication on the network can be limited to a restricted network containing server resources so that health compliance issues can be remedied. After the updates are installed, the client requests access to the network or attempts the communication again. If compliant, the client is granted unlimited access to the network or the communication is allowed.

Memory

DDR2 SYNCH DRAM NON-ECC MEMORY

 

Memory upgrades are accomplished by adding single or multiple DIMMs of the same or varied sizes.

 

This chart does not represent all possible memory configurations. The HP Compaq dc7900 business

 

desktop supports non-ECC DDR2 PC2-5300 (667-MHz) and PC2-6400 (800-MHz) memory.

 

CAUTION: You must shut down the computer and disconnect the power cord before adding or removing

 

memory modules. Regardless of the power-on state, voltage is always supplied to the memory modules as

 

long as the computer is plugged in to an active AC outlet. Adding or removing memory modules while

 

voltage is present may cause irreparable damage to the memory modules or system board.

 

HP recommends dual-channel symmetric configurations for maximum performance.

 

For best performance, add the same amount of total memory to each channel and do not mix speeds. For

 

dual-channel symmetric performance, the total amount of memory in each channel must be equal. If

 

speeds are mixed, speed will default to the slowest DIMM.

 

 

 

RAID

Redundant Array of Independent Drives

 

Flexible implementation:

 

DriveLock is supported while in RAID mode. Users can manage DriveLock password from within

 

F10 Setup. Locked drives will be displayed as such in the RAID option ROM interface.

 

Hard drive information can be viewed within F10 Setup while in RAID mode. Previously, the hard

 

drives will not appear in Drive Configuration when switching to RAID mode.

 

DPS Self Test can be executed on physical hard drives while in RAID mode.

 

The RAID Setup Utility (accessed through CTRL-I) can be protected by the F10 Setup password.

 

NOTE: RAID 1 is the only RAID configuration that HP Compaq dc7900 Business PC products offer as

 

factory configurations. The pre-configured systems:

 

Are only available on the CMT and SFF form factors. The USDT does not support RAID as it does

 

not allow for more than one hard disk drive.

 

Are complete RAID systems and have both drives installed.

 

Have the necessary Option ROM configuration.

 

Are pre-loaded and pre-installed with all required Intel software.

 

Include a preinstalled operating system that is mirrored mode out of the box.

 

Please refer to the HP White Paper titled "Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) and Redundant

 

Array of Independent Disks (RAID) on HP Compaq dc7900 Business PCs" at http://www.hp.com for

 

more information and instructions.
