1. Multicore is designed to improve performance of certain software products. Not all customers or software applications will
necessarily benefit from use of this technology. Performance and clock frequency will vary depending on application workload and
your hardware and software configurations. Intel’s numbering, branding and/or naming is not a measurement of higher
performance.

2. Intel® Optane™ memory system acceleration does not replace or increase the DRAM in your system.

3. The specifications shown in the Intel® Turbo Boost Technology column represent the maximum turbo frequency with one core
active. Turbo boost stepping occurs in 100MHz increments. Processors that do not have turbo functionality are denoted as N/A.
Intel® Turbo Boost performance varies depending on hardware, software and overall system configuration. See
http://www.intel.com/technology/turboboost for more information

4. For full Intel® vPro™ functionality, Windows 10 Pro 64 bit, a vPro supported processor, vPro enabled chipset, vPro enabled wired
LAN and/or WLAN card and TPM 2.0 are required. Some functionality requires additional 3rd party software in order to run. See

1 Intel® Xeon® processors can support either ECC or non­ECC memory; Intel® CoreTM processors only support non-ECC memory.
2 Two channels of DDR4 memory are supported. To realize full performance at least one DIMM must be
inserted into each channel.
3 The CPUs determine the speed at which the memory is clocked. If a 2666 MT/s capable CPU is used in
the system, the maximum speed the memory will run at is 2666 MT/s regardless of the specified speed
of the memory.
4 ECC or nECC memory availability depends on processor configuration.

HP BIOS

Key features of the HP BIOS include:

• Deployment and manageability – HP BIOS provides several technologies that help integrate

the HP Z2 G5 Workstation into the enterprise, such as PXE, remote recovery, remote
configuration, remote control, and BIOS (F10) Setup support for 14 languages.

• Network firmware updates – Update your BIOS via the cloud or standardize on a BIOS version

hosted on an Enterprise network.

• Stability – HP BIOS supports the HP stable product roadmap by releasing only critical BIOS

changes to the factory and advanced change notification.

• Class 3 UEFI specification version 2.6

• Absolute Persistence agent – For tracking and tracing services, available in select countries,

separate software and purchase of a subscription is required.

• Thermal and power management – The HP BIOS provides and enables thermal and power

management technologies so component temperatures are managed for high reliability and
to assist in operating the HP Workstation computer in any enterprise environment.

• Acoustic performance – Industry leading acoustic emissions across the range of operating

conditions.

• Serviceability – HP BIOS provides diagnostic and detailed service information.

• Upgrades and recovery – HP BIOS provides numerous ways to upgrade HP Workstation

computers, including BIOS updates from within Windows (HP Firmware Update and Recovery),
HP Client Manager, and fail-safe recovery. In addition, the HP BIOS Configuration Utility
enables replication of BIOS settings within Windows while the Replicated Setup feature
provides the same capability within BIOS (F10) Setup. The BIOS Configuration Utility is
available from the HP support website.

• HP BIOS uses PKI signing of the BIOS for trusted BIOS upgrades and recovery.

Additional HP BIOS Features:

• Power-On password – Helps prevent an unauthorized user from powering on the system.

• Administrator password – Also known as the BIOS Setup password, this helps prevent

unauthorized changes to the system configuration. If the administrator password is not
known, the BIOS cannot be updated and changes cannot be made to BIOS settings using BIOS
Setup or under the OS.

• S4/S5 Maximum Power Savings setting supports EU Lot6 requirement and allows the

computer to power down below 0.5W in S4/S5 (when turned off). When S4/S5 Maximum
Power Savings feature is enabled below features are turned off:

-Power to expansion connectors / slots

-Wake events other than power buttons (such as wake on LAN)

-USB charging ports

HP Sure Start Gen6

• BIOS Integrity checking – Sure Start protection ensures that only trusted BIOS code is

executed and not rootkits, viruses and malware. Verification is done upon boot up, shutdown
and while the system is on.

• Sure Start is set by default to automatically repair the BIOS if corrupted or compromised but is

policy driven for better manageability. Start is set by default to automatically repair the BIOS
if corrupted or compromised but is policy driven for better manageability.

• Protecting beyond BIOS – Integrity checking and repair is extended to other data that should

be protected such as network configuration parameters, platform specific information (i.e.
system IDs), secure boot credentials, and other code the system needs to boot.
