DIMMs
The memory sockets on the system board can be populated with up to two industry-standard DIMMs. These
memory sockets are populated with at least one preinstalled DIMM. To achieve the maximum memory
support, you can populate the system board with up to 16 GB of memory.
DIMM specications
For proper system operation, the DIMMs must meet the following qualications:

HP oers upgrade memory for this computer and advises that the consumer purchase it to avoid
compatibility issues with unsupported third-party memory.
Populating DIMM sockets
There are two DIMM sockets on the system board, with two sockets per channel. The sockets are labeled
XMM1 and XMM2. Socket XMM1 operates in memory channel A. Socket XMM2 operates in memory channel B.
The system will automatically operate in single channel mode, dual channel mode, or ex mode, depending
on how the DIMMs are installed.
