Compaq Evo N1020v
MultiPort
MultiPort is an innovative feature created by Compaq. The idea was that it would use the MultiPort to connect to various expansion cards. The MultiPort used on the Evo N1020v used the USB 2.0 technology. This meant that, as though the notebook has no USB2 controller, and only supported the USB1.1 hub, the MutliPort was a separate technology altogether. There are three major variations of the cards that slot in; namely:
W200 - Wireless LAN (WLAN) 802.11b standard with 11 Mbit/s
W300 - Bluetooth standard with 2 Mbit/s
W400 - GPRS standard for worldwide communication
There are possible other versions which can be built customly on the technology.
Interfaces
The notebook conceals its interfaces behind a flap on the back. This means that the notebook has the following connections:
1x ECP/EPP IEEE1284 parallel port
1x PS/2 port
1x VGA D-Sub DB-15 connector
1x S-Video mini-Din connector
2x USB ports
1x IEEE1394 Firewire 400 connector
1x IrDA connector
1x MultiPort connector
1x Expansion port connector
1x RJ-11 modem jack
1x RJ-45 Ethernet jack
1x 3.5 mm line in
1x 3.5 mm line out
Internally, it contains:
1x mini-PCI
1x IDE hard drive controller and connector
1x Optical drive connector
1x Floppy Disk drive connector
These drives are "set-in-stone" drives and cannot be removed.
Upgrades
CPU and RAM The CPU can be upgraded in this desktop replacement system, but with great difficulty. A maximum of 2.4 GHz should be inserted, as the formula determines this:
where
P is power in watts
C is capacitance measured in farads
V is voltage measured in volts
f is frequency measured in hertz
The capacitance in the CPU is generally around 8.6 nF:
Maximum voltage (VCore) would be reduced to make up for the increase in power and the voltage is minimal as it is. Hence, the frequency increase to 3 GHz for instance, cannot be compensated by this notebook without further study. The maximum power usage of the CPU in this notebook is 56.5 W. This also requires a 90 W AC adapter. The CPU uses a Socket 478 connector.
The RAM can be upgraded to a maximum of 1024 MB or one gigabyte.
Wireless LAN Wireless LAN can be inserted via the expandable MultiPort or via the mini-PCI inside. This method requires the removal of the modem and the insertion of the card with two anntena (or three if using 802.11n). This can be a difficult process but when accomplished, it can work rather smoothly.
Hard disk drive
The backing storage of the initial 40 GB drive is usually insufficient. The drive may be upgraded to a 320 GB IDE drive. These can cost very little amounts.
Optical storage
One expandable upgrade to the drive is a CD-RW/DVD-ROM. This was as far as Compaq produced, but, others have dismantled other drives and formed DVD-RW drives for the notebook, some of which have Lightscribe.
Operating system
The notebook can operate Windows Vista, but it can do this only with great difficulty. As HP did not assign drivers to it for Windows Vista, the graphics card will not function and allow you to run Windows Aero.
