Product description This Custom Workstation combines the HP Z8 G4 Series Tower Workstation with an HP Quadro P5000 graphics card and installation services. - HP Z8 G4 Series Tower Workstation Built to fuel the creativity of those who reimagine our world, the VR-ready Z8 G4 Series Tower Workstation from HP has been designed to run complex simulations, process huge amounts of data, edit 8K video in real time, work in edge-computing environments, and be used for other intensive tasks. Its exterior provides tool-free access to a modular interior, and strategically placed vents and ducts throughout the system help streamline airflow for quiet performance. The system is powered by a 2.2 GHz Intel Xeon Silver 4114 Ten-Core processor and 13.75MB of L3 cache, all of which will allow you to run multiple applications simultaneously and provide significant performance gains when running multi-threaded tasks. If more power is needed, the CPU can deliver extra performance by increasing its clock speed up to 3.0 GHz utilizing Intel's Turbo Boost 2.0 technology.
The 8GB of 2666 MHz DDR4 ECC Registered RAM comes in a 1 x 8GB configuration, allowing the computer to run multiple applications simultaneously and to quickly access frequently-used files and programs. As this RAM features ECC technology, it is able to help detect and correct the most common kinds of internal data corruption. This RAM is also registered, and registered memory modules, also known as buffered memory modules, place less electrical load on the memory controller and allow single systems to remain stable with more memory modules than they would have otherwise.
For long-term storage of your files, this system is equipped with a 500GB 7200 rpm SATA III 3.5" hard drive. If you want to add external storage drives, optical drives, printers, memory card readers, or other peripherals, the Z8 G4 features eight 5 Gb/s USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports (two front and six rear), one of which doubles as a charging port, as well as two front-mounted 10 Gb/s USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C ports that each deliver up to 15W of power (3A / 5V) when the system is running. There is also one serial port and two PS/2 ports. For users who wish to add additional components to the drive bays, the Z8 G4 features four internal 3.5" drive bays that support 2.5" drives using adapters, and two external 5.25" drive bays. No integrated or dedicated graphics controllers are included with this system, allowing the user to select a dedicated graphics card of their choice. Whether you are listening to music, watching a movie, or playing a game, the integrated Realtek HD ALC221 audio controller outputs high-definition audio and delivers higher fidelity than standard audio controllers. Network connectivity is achieved using dual integrated Gigabit Ethernet ports, and HP's Slim DVD Writer can be used to read from and write to optical media.
The Z8 G4 Series Tower Workstation includes a USB keyboard, a USB mouse, and a power cord. The installed operating system is Windows 10 Pro for Workstations (64-bit), which scales up for machines with a high number of logical processors and large amounts of RAM for server-grade hardware and power users.

- With full grip front and rear aluminum carrying handles and slick feet, the system can be moved to a new location or to gain better access. The system can be used in desktop/deskside orientations or rack-mounted using HP's enterprise-class, fully extendable rails.
- Interior Design & Cooling
- The interior is organized with a consistent user access strategy. All user-serviceable components are identified with blue touchpoints. The service label located on the left access panel provides users with system board and memory loading information and quick access to diagnostic information. Cables are hidden or efficiently routed, providing better component access and airflow management.
The chassis is designed to maximize fresh air inlet to the system, and direct cool air where it's needed. The CPU and memory ducting has a design to help maximize fresh air inlet to both the memory and CPU, and keeps the memory airflow separated from the CPU airflow. The memory ducting has a patent-pending multi-channel design that directs cooler air from the inlet to both the front and rear DIMM banks, as well as to separate segments along the length of the DIMMs. The zone between the front and rear CPUs is divided by a baffle to direct fresh air to both CPUs and prevent preheated exhaust air from the front CPU cooler from entering the rear CPU cooler. - Designing the Experience
- Due to the tool-free ease of use, HP understands system and component security may be a concern. Therefore, several security features have been incorporated. The left side access panel includes a key lock and the right side panel can be secured with the HP BPC Security Lock or Kensington security device. An optional system intrusion switch is also available. The rear access power supply is unlocked by default but can be secured by removing the PSU and enabling the locking mechanism on the side cover of the power supply.

UPC: 192018109421 - HP Quadro P5000 Graphics Card Designed for generating high-resolution graphics and large datasets for VR, graphic design, and advanced calculations, HP's Quadro P5000 Graphics Card can beef up your workstation to increase performance. Based on NVIDIA's 16nm Pascal architecture, the Quadro P5000 features 2560 CUDA cores coupled to 16GB of VRAM with a 256-bit memory bus providing a maximum of 8.9 TFLOPS of single-precision computing power. Using supported APIs and CUDA, that computing performance can translate into high resolution and realistic real-time 2D and 3D graphics rendering or improved computing speed with hardware acceleration. The output panel on this card features four DisplayPort terminals and a dual-link DVI-D port. Up to four monitors can be simultaneously supported by a single card, without any extra hardware, to create high-resolution video walls with your workstation or for more desktop real-estate to increase productivity. DisplayPort 1.4 support allows this card to drive UHD 5K displays as well. The DVI port can be used for connecting to legacy hardware while separately available adapters can be used with this card to drive other kinds of displays and projectors. For cooling, the P5000 uses a blower-style cooler. This cooler uses a radial fan to force air through the card's heatsink and out through the rear of the case. This cooling configuration can be used in crowded workstation environments with multiple GPUs or where space between computer components can be a concern, as hot air is not recirculated back into the case.
- CUDA
- NVIDIA's parallel computing platform which enables an increase in computing performance by harnessing the parallel nature of GPU processing. CUDA compatible applications can assign intensive parallel computing tasks, such as real-time video rendering, to the GPU to process, freeing up the computer's CPU to run other tasks.
- GPUDirect Support
- Using GPUDirect, multiple GPUs, third party network adapters, solid-state drives (SSDs), and other devices can directly read and write CUDA host and device memory, eliminating unnecessary memory copies, dramatically lowering CPU overhead, and reducing latency, resulting in significant performance improvements in data transfer times for applications.
- Quadro Sync II
- By connecting up to four compatible Quadro GPUs to a separate Quadro Sync board you can perfectly synchronize the display outputs of all the connected GPUs for critical video wall and extended desktop applications utilizing multiple displays. Quadro Sync also enables NVIDIA Quadro Mosaic technology on those synchronized displays and projectors, providing an easy way to scale the resolution of any application. Quadro Sync II allows for two Quadro Sync cards to be used in the same system, enabling support for up to 32 displays with stereoscopic visuals and support for projector overlap, and WMI (Windows Instrumentation Management).
- Mosaic
- Leverage multiple displays to easily span any application across multiple displays or projectors from a single workstation, without sacrificing performance or power. Combined with NVIDIA's nView desktop management software you also get bezel correction and projector overlap for seamless multi-display exhibition.
