boards and other components.

Before installing or replacing a component:

1Do not take the new component out of its ESD package before connecting your

wrist strap and ESD mat to a suitably earthed point.

2Do not forget to use the ESD package provided with the new part to return the

old part. The ESD package is conductive and is easy to recognize from its label.

Care of Hard Disk Drives

HP hard disk drives are delicate and are very sensitive to shocks or vibration.

When installing a hard disk accessory, be careful not to drop or knock the drive.

Any shock may damage the drive and prevent it from functioning correctly.

Hard disk drives already installed in HP Vectra PCs are also sensitive to shocks. If

the PC’s system unit is knocked or dropped accidentally, this may cause damage to

installed hard disk drives.

Avoid striking the

computer

Don’t move PC

when powered on

Do not knock the hard

disk during installation

Vectra Products Overview

Component HP Vectra VL 7/xxx PC HP Vectra VL 7/xxx MT PC

Microprocessor Pentium II, 233 MHz, 266 MHz, 300 MHz, or 333 MHz

Chipset Features Intel 440LX AGPset

● AGP-enabled (Accelerated Graphics Port) for enhanced graphics

performance in Pentium II -based systems

● ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface)

● Ultra DMA-33 support (for hard disks on Primary IDE channel ONLY)

● SDRAM support for faster data streaming between the Pentium II, the

graphics accelerator and PCI devices

BIOS and System

Management

Features

● New Multiple-Boot capability.

User can choose the boot device when the PC is powered-on.

● System Management Bus for transmission of system health alerts.

(For example, chassis intrusion detection or memory module failure.)

● Chassis Intrusion Detection. An alert is generated on the System

Management Bus when the cover of the PC is removed during operation. If

the cover is removed when the PC is switched off, the alert will be generated

when the PC is next switched on. This alert can be monitored with HP

TopTOOLS.

● Memory Module failure detection using Serial Presence Detect technology.

Information on memory modules (module type, HP part number, ECC errors,

etc.) is stored in a Serial EEPROM on the memory module itself. A memory

failure will generate a detailed alert on the System Management Bus. This

alert can be monitored with HP TopTOOLS.

Main memory 32 MB (standard) or 64 MB, 384 MB (maximum), 60 ns SDRAM,

three DIMM sockets

Support of Serial Presence Detect for detection and identification of defective

memory modules
