24 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
NOTE If a graphics card requiring more than 75W is installed, HP recommends not using slot 2, which is
the PCI slot adjacent to the graphics slot. In addition to these slot power specifications, the overall power
consumption of the system (including I/O cards, processors, memory, drives) must not exceed the
maximum ratings of the system power supply.
For hardware specifications of other system components, such as graphics cards or optical drives, refer
to the website of the specific manufacturer.
