Installing Additional Memory
DIMMs
The memory sockets on the system board can be populated with
industry-standard DIMMs. These memory module slots are populated
with at least one preinstalled memory module. To achieve the
maximum memory support, you may be required to replace the
preinstalled DIMM with a higher capacity DIMM.
The Evo D300v DRAM controller supports a 64-bit memory data
interface, optionally supporting 64-bit wide and 128-bit wide
non-ECC DIMM modules. The supported DRAM type is
Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM).
Two 168-pin DIMM socket sites (DIMM0 and DIMM1) operate at
3.3V. This allows system memory to be expanded from 32MB to
512MB of SDRAM.
The DRAM Controller uses the JEDEC standard Serial Presence
Detect (SPD) mechanism to detect memory and array configurations;
no jumper settings are required for the memory size. Memory is
automatically detected by the system BIOS.
Compaq Evo D300v User's Guide A1
Installing Additional Memory
Rules for adding SDRAM memory modules to the DIMM memory
array are as follows:
I The DIMM sockets support either single or double-sided
"Unbuffered DIMM" modules.
I The installed DRAM type can be 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, or
256MB DIMMs.
I The installed DRAM can be either PC100 or PC133. The
maximum operation speed of the memory array is 133 MHz.
I DIMM sockets can be populated in any order.
I The DRAM Timing register, which provides the DRAM speed
grade control for the entire memory array, will be programmed to
use the timings of the slowest DRAMs installed. Memory Module
Installation
CAUTION: Your memory module sockets have gold metal contacts.
When upgrading your memory, it is important to use memory modules
with gold metal contacts to prevent corrosion and/or oxidation resulting
from having incompatible metals in contact with each other.
CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of
the computer or optional cards. Before beginning these procedures,
ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a
grounded metal object. Refer to Appendix F, "Electrostatic Discharge,"
for more information.
CAUTION: When handling a memory module, be careful not to touch
any of the contacts. Doing so may damage the module.
A2 Compaq Evo D300v User's Guide
Installing Additional Memory
1. Shut down the operating system properly, then turn off the
computer and any external devices, then disconnect the power
cord from the power outlet.
2. Remove the access panel and locate the memory module sockets.
WARNING: To reduce risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow
the internal system components to cool before touching.
3. Open both latches of the memory module socket 1, and insert the
memory module into the socket 2.
Begin by installing a module into the socket nearest the
preinstalled module, and install the modules following the
numerical order of the sockets.
A memory module can be installed in only one way. Match the
notch on the module with the tab on the memory socket. Push the
module down into the socket, ensuring that the module is fully
inserted and properly seated 3.

I Never operate the computer with the cover or side panel removed.
I Never restrict the airflow into the computer by blocking the front
vents or air intake. Do not place the keyboard, with the keyboard
feet down, directly against the front of the desktop unit as this
also restricts airflow.
I Keep the computer away from excessive moisture, direct sunlight,
and extremes of heat and cold. For information about the
recommended temperature and humidity ranges for your
computer, refer to Appendix A, "Specifications," in this guide.
I Keep liquids away from the computer and keyboard.
