Disclaimers

Intel's numbering is not a measurement of higher performance. Processor numbers differentiate

features within each processor family, not across different processor families. See:

http://www.intel.com/products/processor_number/ for details.

64-bit computing on Intel® 64 architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS,

operating system, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel 64 architecture. Processor will not

operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. Performance will

vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. See: http://www.intel.com/info/em64t

for more information.

Quad-Core, Six-Core, and Eight-Core technologies are designed to improve performance of

multithreaded software products and hardware-aware multitasking operating systems and may

require appropriate operating system software for full benefits. Check with software provider to

determine suitability. Not all customers or software applications will necessarily benefit from use of

these technologies.

*Each drive requires a PCIe x4 (minimum) slot to be available. Full performance is obtained only when

using PCIe slots connected to the CPU. Non-CPU PCIe slots may see a decrease of up to 10%. Please see

slot configuration recommendations at www.hp.com/go/zturbo. Note that graphics cards, Thunderbolt™,

and other devices will require PCIe slots.

For hard drives, 1 GB = 1 billion bytes; TB = 1 trillion bytes. Actual formatted capacity is less.

SATA hardware RAID is supported on Linux systems that have support for the Intel RSTe technology. The

Linux kernel, with built-in software RAID, provides excellent functionality and performance. It is a good

alternative to hardware-based RAID. Please visit http://www.hp.com/support/linux_hardware_matrix

for RAID capabilities with Linux.

All drives must be identical in type and capacity.

RAID arrays greater than 2 TB are fully supported.

NOTE 1: Requires hard drives with identical speed, capacity, and interface. Specific user-configured

hardware SAS RAID configurations are supported on this Linux system. For details, please visit

http://www.hp.com/support/linux_hardware_matrix

NOTE 2: Specific user-configured hardware SAS RAID configurations are supported on this Linux system.

IS: Striping of 2 or more HDDs into a single logical volume

IM: Mirroring of 2 HDDs into a single logical volume

IME: Mirroring of 3 or more HDDs into a single logical volume.

copyright protected materials. Intended for creation and storage of your original material and other

lawful uses. Double Layer discs can store more data than single layer discs. However, double-layer

discs burned with this drive may not be compatible with many existing single-layer DVD drives and

players.

As Blu-ray is a new format containing new technologies, certain disc, digital connection, compatibility

and/or performance issues may arise, and do not constitute defects in the product. Flawless playback

on all systems is not guaranteed. In order for some Blu-ray titles to play, they may require a DVI or

on this workstation.

NOTE 1: Not supported as a 2nd drive option.

NOTE 2: Cannot be ordered in combination with another Blu-ray Writer.

NOTE 3: The Z2/Z4 Handle and Dual SFF Drive Adapter in Top ODD Bay kit, which contains two SFF

internal drive bays, is installed automatically when customers order a 4th SFF hard drive.
