** Not all features are available in all editions of Windows 8. Systems may require upgraded and/or separately purchased hardware, drivers and/or software to take full advantage of Windows
8 functionality. See microsoft.com. The integrated display resolution is below the threshold for snapping apps, a new feature that allows two Windows apps to be viewed simultaneously
side by side. This feature may be enabled by attaching an external display which supports a screen resolution of 1366x768 or higher.
*** This system may require upgraded and/or separately purchased hardware and/or a DVD drive to install the Windows 7 software and take full advantage of Windows 7 functionality.
See microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/ for details.
† After-Market Option
1 When comparing previous generations of HP Workstations.
2 Sold separately both as a congure-to-order (CTO) or after-market option (AMO).
3 Does not allow 4 SSDs/SFF drives (CTO/AMO)
4 Requires a compatible Intel® Core processor, enabled chipset, Intel® Rapid Storage technology software and non-SED HDD + optional 2.5” SSD ash cache module. Intel® Smart Response
Technology is only available on select HP systems. Read performance levels assume that the data to be read is in the cache. Depending on system conguration, results may vary.
5 Requires Windows 7 or Windows 8.
6 Multi-Core is designed to improve performance of certain software products. Not all customers or software applications will necessarily benet from use of this technology. 64-bit computing
on Intel® architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers, and applications enabled for Intel® 64 architecture. Processors will not
operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel® 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software congurations. Intel’s numbering is not
a measurement of higher performance. See intel.com/info/em64t for more information.
7 Requires both NVIDIA NVS 510 and NVS 310 graphics cards to be installed.
8 Optional feature sold separately or as an add on feature.
9 PCIe Gen 3 is a new technology; card availability may be limited.
10 Some features may not be available in all regions.
11 Intel® Hyper-Threading - The hyper-threading feature is designed to improve performance of multi-threaded software products; please contact your software provider to determine software
compatibility. Not all customers or software applications will benet from the use of hyperthreading. Go to intel.com/info/hyperthreading for more information, including which processors
support HT Technology.
12 Each processor supports up to 2 channels of DDR3 memory. To realize full performance at least 1 DIMM must be inserted into each channel.
13 Intel® Xeon E3, Intel Core i3 and Intel Pentium processors can support either ECC or non-ECC memory. Intel Core i5 and i7 processors only support non-ECC memory.
14 SATA hardware RAID is not supported on Linux systems. The Linux kernel, with built-in software RAID, provides excellent functionality and performance. It is a good alternative to hardware-
based RAID. Please visit h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00060684/c00060684.pdf for RAID capabilities with Linux.
15 For hard drives, 1 GB = 1 billion bytes. TB = 1 trillion bytes. Actual formatted capacity is less.
16 Actual speeds may vary. Does not permit copying of commercially available DVD movies or other copyright protected materials. Intended for creation and storage of your original material
and other lawful uses. Note that DVD-RAM cannot read or write to 2.6 GB Single Sided/5.2 GB Double Sided – Version 1.0 media.
