HP Z620 Workstation slot identification and description
Maximum power used by all slots must not exceed total system power and is subject to configuration
limitations.
NOTE: Slot 1 is not available in dual processor configurations.
Slot Type Mechanical compatibility Electrical compatibility
1 PCIe2 x4 (1) x4 x1
2 PCIe3 - x16 x16 x16
3 PCIe2 - x8 (4) x8 x4
4PCIe3 x8 x8 x8
5 PCIe3 x16 x16 x16
6 PCI 32/33 PCI PCI
NOTE: The PCIe designators indicate the mechanical connector size and number of electrical PCIe
lanes routed to an expansion slot. For example, x16 (8) means that the expansion slot is
mechanically a x16 length connector, with 8 PCIe lanes supported.
NOTE: Slots two, four, and five are PCIe GEN3 slots. Slot two is the primary graphics slot; slot five
is the secondary graphics slot.
Slots three and four use open-ended PCIe connectors, so a PCIe x16 card can be inserted. This
allows the workstation to support more PCIe x16 expansion cards. A x16 card typically trains and
runs at the maximum lane width available by the expansion slot. The card runs at the reduced lane
width, with a corresponding performance decrease. Graphics cards greater than 75 watts require the
use of an auxiliary power cable adapter.
