DDR3 Synchronous DRAM NON-ECC System 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 8100 Elite Series PC supports non-ECC DDR3 PC3-10600
(1333 MHz)* and PC3-8500 (1066 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.

Supports up to 16 GB of DDR3 SDRAM using DIMM modules. Slot 1 is black and must always be populated. Not all
memory configurations possible are represented below.

NOTE: For systems configured with more than 3 GB of memory and a 32-bit operating system, all memory may not be
available due to system resource requirements. Addressing memory above 4 GB requires a 64-bit operating system.

* The Intel Q57 Express chipset includes a built-in Management Engine (ME), which allocates memory for manageability
functions. Management Engine memory is shared with system memory. If the PC contains a single DIMM, 16 MB of memory
is pre-allocated for it at system startup. If the PC contains two DIMMs, 32 MB of memory is pre-allocated. This memory is not
made available to the operating system, just as pre-allocated video memory is not available.
