Technical white paper | HP Z230 Workstation Architecture
ECC
Error Correcting Code (ECC) memory is supported on workstation Intel® Xeon® SKUs, thereby improving data integrity. If ECC
memory is used in conjunction with a non-ECC processor sku, ECC protection is not available and the DIMMs will appear to
the system as Non-ECC memory. Desktop PCs do not typically support ECC.
3 displays support
The HP Z230 equipped with Xeon® processor E3-12x5v3 SKUs supports 3 digital display outputs. Each is capable of
driving resolutions up to 3840x2160 at 60 Hz through DisplayPort out and symmetric independent display. Z230 support
DisplayPort 1.2 with Multi Stream Transport (MST) transports multiple A/V streams over a single connector.
400W Power Supply
The high eciency power supply on HP Z230 Tower Workstation supports higher-end 3D graphic cards with an additional
power dongle, thereby providing greater expandability and higher performance options. The 400W power supply also
enables the support of the 84W Xeon workstation SKU that boasts the highest base frequency (3.6GHz) and performance
available. Business desktops typically have smaller power supplies and do not cater to high-end 3D graphics cards.

Multi-Core is designed to improve performance of certain software products. Not all customers or software applications will necessarily benet 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 congurations. Intel’s numbering is not a measurement of higher performance.
2
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 conguration, results may vary.
3
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
4
Not all features are available in all editions of Windows 7. Systems may require upgraded and/or separately purchased hardware to take full advantage of
Windows 7 functionality. See microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/ for details.
5
Intel® Turbo Boost technology requires a PC with a processor with Intel Turbo Boost capability. Intel Turbo Boost performance varies depending on hardware,
software, and overall system conguration. See intel.com/technology/turboboost for more information.
6
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 benet from the use of hyper-threading. Go to intel.com/info/hyperthreading/ for more
information including which processors support HT Technology.
7
Each processor supports up to 2 channels (HP Z230 Tower/SFF) of DDR3 memory. To realize full performance at least 1 DIMM must be inserted into each channel.
Actual memory speeds dependent on processor capability.
8
Intel® Xeon® E3 and Intel Pentium processors can support either ECC or non-ECC memory. Intel Core i5/i7 processors only support non-ECC memory.
