Where the second RAM on the Elitebook 8540w location?

Hello, I have the Elitebook 8540w with processor i5 and windows 7 Pro. I bought two 8 GB cards to increase the ram, but can find accommodation with a stick of ram in it.

The manual says there are two slots for ram and it can be upgraded to 16 GB. But the video installation shows a slot under the keyboard. I thought he would have another slot somewhere once I opened and removed the keyboard. But there is no. Also, I opened the compartment in the bottom where other portable store their ram and it was not a slot.  My computer said it has 4 GB of ram installed on the computer. The stick I found was only 2 GB, which means that there are another 2 GB key somewhere. Anyone know where and how to get home? Thank you very much.

Best,

Jeremy

You are the very welcome.

This isn't the problem.

The problem is due to your mobile workstation with the i5 processor - it only supports 2 x 4 GB of memory.

You must have the quad core i7 for PC to support 2 x 8 GB of memory.

Please refer to the link below, page 7, double asterisk.

* 8 GB SODIMM is supported only on the quad-core processors.

  • How to paste the annotations where the pointer is located?

    Hi Adobe community.

    I use Adobe Acrobat DC and I was wondering if there was a way to paste a markup where my pointer is instead of its default location.

    For example:
    I use the function 'draw the rectangle' and I want to use the same size and color on a different location. Using "Crtl + C" to copy and "Ctrl + V" to paste, duplicate markup appears slightly off center of the page. Is it possible to have the copied markup stuck where my pointer is instead?

    Thanks for the review of my question!

  • 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.

  • HP Elitebook 8540w RAM Upgrade

    Hello

    I am currently in the process of upgrading the RAM in my Elitebook 8540w. I have the i7 Intel M620 (dual-core) and bought the computer in August 2010. I also have Windows 7 Professional 64 bit and 2x2gb (total 4 GB) of RAM.

    I watched this document in order to see what the options were: http://www8.hp.com/h20195/v2/GetDocument.aspx?docname=c04150938&ver=25

    Now, I see 2 contradictory statements in this document. On page 7, it is said that 8 GB modules are only compatible with quad-core processors (represented by two asterisks) and that it would be possible to have 8 GB (2x4gb) total in my case. Then, on page 18, the table indicates that a configuration of 2x8GB (16GB total) would be possible since there are no asterisks in addition to this configuration.

    So who is the maximum I can put in: 2x4gb or 2x8GB?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    The document is for many products for the complete series. Looks like your machine is a machine double heart so it only it supports only 8 GB for 2 slots (the first * indicates 8Gb each slot, and a quad core, you can get up to 4 x 8 = 32 GB).

    Kind regards.

  • Satellite M40X-129: where is the second RAM?

    Hello

    I have a problem with my laptop. Since I closed it last time when the battery was empty I can´t start Notepad again. I'm getting a signal from the BIOS. 1-3-3-1 is the beep code. So, I think, I have an error with either of my two 512MB - RAM.

    Yesterday I opened the hood of the laptop at the undersite and removed the 512 MB of RAM. Then I tested the laptop again - but the beep code is the same.

    Today, as I searched the second 512 MB of RAM under the keyboard, but I didn t found the second RAM.

    Can someone tell me how I can reach the second 512 MB of RAM?

    Thank you very much for your help!

  • Where the second slot expansion non-primaire on EliteBook 8540p?

    My manual says there are two connectors of extension (in addition to the primary slot under the keyboard) on the 8540p but I see only one, and therefore, I added 1 GB of RAM. Where is the other, or where the other memory stick can go? They pile on each other?

    Hello:

    If your computer laptop is not a processor i7 - QM, there is a single primary memory (under the keyboard) and a memory expansion (on the bottom of the laptop) slot.

    If your laptop computer has a processor i7 - QM then, there are two primary memory locations under the keyboard and two memory expansion slots on the bottom of the PC.

    Please check the motherboard part number descriptions in Chapter 3 and you will see what I mean.

    My understanding is that keyboards are very difficult to get out after you drag the 4 legs and remove the screws on the bottom of the case.

    In theory, upgrading the memory under the keyboard should be simple.  I did several nc6400 and 6910p that have the same type of locations in memory.

    My 6930p was very difficult to get out the keyboard after slipping the tabs and remove the screws.  I jumped off a key trying to get off this 'thing'.  Fortunately, I was able to burst just the return key on.

    Hello @Alghzawi,

    To get your question more exposure I suggest you post in the trade forums since it is a commercial product. You can do to commercial Forums.

    Even if it is a Commercial product, I found that the system tells you that the caps lock is on.

    I recommend to restore the default BIOS settings. You could restore the BIOS with this document by selecting the reload the default BIOS settings. This will restore all the functions return to default settings.

    You can try perform a reset.

    When you perform a hard reset note remove all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices.

  • 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:

    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:

  • EliteBook 8540w ram upgrade

    Good day my Pro friends! Here me again. I am in a quandry that needs expert advice:

    I have an Elitebook 8540, w / 720qm CPU Intel. I run Win.7Pro. 64 bit. now, according to the maintenance manual, the ram for this unit should be a maximum of 16 GB, (I know) and uses 10600 or 1333 MHz modules. Now, every time I check with one of the manufacturers of memory, on the compatibility updates, they list, (or if I use their scan) I can go to modules 12800 - 1600 MHz. At the present time, I have 6 GB of 1333 MHz (3x2Go) modules, and is my performance rating: 7.0 - CPU and memory to 5.9. I am told by a friend of tech, to improve my memory, because the side of the memory should be higher than the processor for optimum performance. I tried 2-4 GB, modules of 1600 MHz and index performance changed where the memory was higher. (don't remember the # s) Good. However, by doing a performance check with a program of 'notes of the system', he said that memory was not working @ 1600 MHz, but about 663 MHZ and with 1333 MHz, is about 533 MHz.  The modules of 1600 MHz were borrowed to test. Now, I'm going to 16 GB (4 x 4) @ 1600 MHz. But, I wonder if this will improve performance, or be a waste of money?

    Given that HP specifications say it can handle 16 GB, but only @ 10600 MHz or 1333 MHz, will be 1600 MHz bennifit? Will it work OK.? Thank you my friends, for any input!

    You definitely want a number pair of corresponding modules, so if nothing else add another module, as well as the three, you already have. Your score went up when you install modules of 2 x 8 GB because, among other things, allowing memory to run "dual channel", which is a bit faster. Dual channel only works if identical modules are coupled together.

    You have already shown that the RAM is unable to run at 1600 mhz, the best it will do is run at 1333 due to hardware limitations. That 533 and 663 are actually half speed. You double this figure because it is the memory of the "double data rate". 16 gigs is a luxury that few computer users really need but if you want to spend money you can.

    As a reminder, you can easily install 4 x 4 GB of DDR3 - 1600 but it runs at 1333 mhz but will be dual channel. I don't think that DDR3-1600 is more expensive than the DDR3-1333 at this point and probably more easily accessible. My best advice is to get another module of 2 gig like the one you have.
