EliteBook 8540w: identification of Slot Correct memory for twin Enable memory RAM upgrade

I just bought an opportunity Elitebook 8540w with i7 quad core and four memory locations (I love it!).  It is running 64-bit Windows 7 Professional he came with a 4 GB memory module and I bought an additional module of 4 GB to 8 GB of total RAM.

I have the HP document that shows both modules of memory of 4 GB, it takes in the memory slot 1 and the other in the memory slot 3 for the proper functioning of the memory double channel.  All together right?

Not quite.  In the Elitebook 8540w, primary under the keyboard memory locations are clearly labelled '1' and '2' However, the locations of memory expansion on the underside of the chassis are also clearly labelled Opps '1' and '2 '!  There is no '3' and there is no '4' in which three vacant slots we installed the second module of 4 GB for the proper functioning of the dual memory channel?

All the facts on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Good old CPU - Z... a Swiss army knife of a free application that must be in every tech toolkit.

    So I bought the new laptop (hp pavilion 15-p153nm), in the shop where I bought it says that this laptop have two memory slots, so I buy the new 4 gb ddr3 ram card and wanted to put in the free memory slot, but when I opened the laptop that I couldn't find free one slot... so my question is where is this second slot... I use other products (printers and laptop computers HP etc.) for 10y and if this is an hp error and they didn't put the second slot in this notebook, I'll be very disappointed.
    And yes I find manual for this laptop, I opened this laptop from this manual and he drew two memory cards but its all is said about memory cards. I have pictures of the laptop and everything and I will put them here.

    Configuration software Specy

    It says that I have a free slot? but I still don't see.

    Now I'll put pictures of the laptop inside

    under the keyboard

    Other side of the main card

    Under the motherboard

    So pls help me to solve this mystery of the second memory slot.

    And sry for my English isn't my main language.

    TNX for helping me. Good bye

    There is no second slot of memory in this model specification.

    You need to replace the module installed with a capaity module above uppgrade the memory capacity.

    On the three t pageit the manual describes two locations only on some models. It does not describe what models they are.

    Check the model of the computer in the link below to make sure that it is on your computer.

    Here's memory and SSD that are compatible with your computer on Crucial memory website.  As it is said, you can install a single module at a time, but given that the motherboard supports dual channel architecture, it is best to install pairs.  Read the whole page to make sure you get all the information.

    While I am not sure that the memory is compatible with existing memory, if it were me, I would buy all of the 8 GB of memory.  This will ensure that it is no problem of compatibility.  You can also contact see service customer of Crucial in what they have to say.

  • Pavilion dv4: Pavilion dv4 memory/RAM upgrade

    I have a HP Pavilion dv4 (15-inch screen), still not sure of the model #. It's on WIndows 7 Home premium 64 - bit operating system with 4 g of RAM.

    I'm looking to upgrade the RAM and wanted to know if someone knows the maximum I can develop in and also if there are 1 or 2 memory card slots? Any help would be appreciated. Ideally looking for make it if possible 8 GB or RAM.

    The T6500 processor was used on the dv4-1000 series, so it's a pretty good indication that you're already in memory of max. The dv4-2000 used first processors Intel Core of gen.

    The best acceleration on a legacy system as an SSD, but they are expensive for one with any ability. If you are really adventurous, you could theoretically install a Core 2 Duo processor much stronger as the T9600. It's a lot of hassle, though, and spend money like that on updates is not really economically advisable when you buy a new laptop in a year or less in any case inevitable. New models have just so much more to offer. USB 3.0, SATA-III, faster memory and processors, better battery life. It lights up.

  • Memory / RAM upgrade - the standard issue! -HP Compaq Pro 6300 microtour

    Hello

    I intend to increase the RAM in this machine (Microtour HP Compaq Pro 6300) and I'm a bit confused to a specification - latency CASE.

    To start:
    I plan to purchase memory from a manufacturer of renowned as Crucial or Corsair and purchase identical sticks to replace the OEM memory.

    My understanding of the requirements of CASE latency for this system:
    According to the reference guide of the material that was provided with this PC, "the DIMM DDR3-SDRAM modules must also:... to support latency CASE 11 DDR3 1600 MHz (at a date 11/11/11)."

    My understanding of the CASE latency spec. offer of products available:

    Many kits that I found almost total retail prices are advertised as being "CS7,' 'CS9', or 'CS10 '.  The few kits that I found with latency = announced 11 CASES are much more expensive (+ 20%) that those with CL = 7,9,10 (spend less money without wasting on inoperable RAM is my goal).

    My question (s):

    I have to buy memory with a latency announced CASES of 11 cycles?
    -OR-
    May memory stick with another announced specification of latency CASE (no CL = 11) function properly with my system?  If so, could it be some additional steps to configure the new installation of memory or any foreseeable to overcome obstacles?

    Thank you very much for taking the time to read this and respond!
    -Mark T.

    In General, purchase memory with lower CASE ribs won't be a problem, as long as the dominant spec (i.e. DDR3-12800) memory and memory voltage specifications match.

    If you buy from a name brand as Crucial or Corsair, however, you should probably ask him if they have specifically tailored to your system memory. They have usually memory specifically designed for brand like HP systems, and that would be your best bet to ensure compatibility.

    I got a charger 462602-001.

    Now, I wonder if it works with my Elitebook 8540w.

    I was looking for information, but I can't find my cell phone in the list.

    The that I find is the 8510w and even I know it's the same card for both.

    Can I use it?

    Hello

    It is a 90W charger and the 8540W can use:

    • Outside 150 W Smart adapter
    • External 120 W Smart adapter
    • External 90 W Smart adapter
    His blood pressure is perhaps a little weak, but you can use it before I buy a new charger.

  • Can I change the HARD drive in my Elitebook 8540w for one SSD?

    Hello

    I have a HARD drive which started making funny noises and I expect to do fast enough. And while that is depressing in its own right, in my view, I better the situation and and put it in a fast SSD instead of the old thing. But before I go and buy the equipment I need to know that it can actually be done. I read another thread on this forum about to put an SSD in the expansion slot (CD/DVD), but I want to replace the main HARD drive. So my best guess is that it is possible, but if there are people here with experience, please guide me in how to proceed.

    I made a backup of all my important files so really the only thing I want to do is remove my old HDD and put a new and then install Windows 7 from disks that followed with the computer.

    I thank very you much for your time and your help.

    Hello

    Nothing don't you to replace an old HDD with a fastest SSD 'modern '. In theory, you can use ANY SDS but on the safe side, please use SSD suppliers which guarantees its product will work as the following seller:

    http://www.crucial.com/EU/upgrade/HP+-+Compaq-memory/EliteBook/EliteBook+8540w+mobile+workstation+%28Quad+core+processors%29-upgrades.html

    The process is very simple (I actually put a Crucial 960 GB to one of my machines today). My suggestion: prior to material things, backup all files/data and prepare a 'big bang' (in my case, I cloned my old HDD so very fast). Please read the following articles for more information:

    http://h18000.www1.HP.com/products/QuickSpecs/13529_ca/13529_ca.PDF

    See page 18 for the memory info.

    The answer is no, you can't win advantage using memory PC3-14900, and it may not even work.

    I recommend that stick you with memory PC3-1333 (10600). Do not get the PC3-10666 memory. I haven't read of anyone who gets this memory work in the HP PC.
