HP Z220 SFF Workstation system board architecture

This section describes the system architectures.

The following figure shows the typical system board block diagram.

Figure 1-5 System board block diagram

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.

Workstation specifications

HP Z220 SFF

		Intel Series C216 chipset:
		● Support for the Intel® Xeon® Processor E3 v2 Family, third-generation Intel Core processors up to
		95 W, or Intel Pentium® G640 procesors
	Processor	● Integrated 2-channel memory controller
	technology	● Microarchitecture improvements
		● Integrated graphics (some models)
		● Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) to increase floating point performance
		● Intel DMI2 interface connecting the processor to the I/O controller
	Power supply	● 240 W, 90% efficient, 80 PLUS Gold, compatible with ENERGY STAR® Version 5 requirements
		● Supports European Union ERP Lot 6 tier2 power limit of less than 0.5W in off mode
		● Dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) based on DDR3 1600 MHz technology
		● Supports error checking and correcting (ECC) and non-ECC DIMMs
	Memory	● Two direct-attach memory channels enable low-latency access and fast data transfer for improved
		performance
	technology	● Up to 32 GB system memory (8 GB DIMMs)
		● 1600 MHz 2, 4, 8 GB ECC unbuffered DIMM
		● 1600 MHz 2, 4, 8 GB non ECC unbuffered DIMM
		Supports:
		● PCIe Gen3 (PCIe3) bus speeds; can support dual PCIe Gen2 graphics cards in mechanical PCIe
		x16 slots
		● Multiple graphics cards, provided their total power usage is within 45 W
	Graphics cards	● Up to two displays with integrated Intel HD graphics (depending on processor type)
		● Up to four 2D displays or two 3D displays
		NOTE: Most supported Intel Core processors provide Intel HD Graphics 2000/2500/4000; Intel
		Xeon processors with model designations that end in "---5" provide Intel HD Graphics P4000.
		NOTE: To drive more than two displays, use the Computer (F10) Setup Utility to intermix integrated
		Intel HD graphics and discrete graphics cards (with three or more displays, HP recommends using only
		discrete graphics cards).
		● RAID configurations for SATA RAID levels 0, 1
		● Supports eSATA (3.0 Gbps) using an optional adapter
	I/O technology	● Six external and four internal USB 2.0 ports
		● Four external USB 3.0 ports
		● Parallel and serial headers that can be used with an optional PCI bulkhead connector

		● Support for the Intel Xeon Processor E3 v2 Family or third-generation Intel Core processors up to
		95 W
	Processor	● Integrated 2-channel memory controller
	technology	● Microarchitecture improvements
		● Integrated graphics (some models)
		● Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) to increase floating point performance
		● Intel DMI2 interface connecting the processor to the I/O controller
	Power supply	● 400 W, 90% efficient, 80 PLUS Gold, compatible with ENERGY STAR Version 5 requirements
		● Supports European Union ERP Lot 6 tier2 power limit of less than 0.5 W in off mode
		● Dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) based on DDR3 1600MHz technology
		● Supports error checking and correcting (ECC) and non-ECC DIMMs
	Memory	● Two direct-attach memory channels enable low-latency access and fast data transfer for improved
		performance
	technology	● Up to 32 GB system memory (8 GB DIMMs)
		● 1600 MHz 2, 4, 8 GB ECC unbuffered DIMM
		● 1600 MHz 2, 4, 8 GB non ECC unbuffered DIMM
		Supports:
		● PCIe Gen3 (PCIe3) bus speeds; can support dual PCIe Gen2 graphics cards in mechanical PCIe
		x16 slots
		● Multiple graphics cards, provided their total power usage is within 150 W
	Graphics cards	● Up to two displays with integrated Intel HD graphics (depending on processor type)
		● Up to four 2D displays or two 3D displays
		NOTE: Most supported Intel Core processors provide Intel HD Graphics 2000/2500/4000; Intel
		Xeon processors with model designations that end in "---5" provide Intel HD Graphics P4000.
		NOTE: To drive more than two displays, use the Computer (F10) Setup Utility to intermix integrated
		Intel HD graphics and discrete graphics cards (with three or more displays, HP recommends using only
		discrete graphics cards).
		● RAID configurations for SATA RAID levels 0, 1
		● Supports eSATA (3.0 Gbps) using an optional adapter
	I/O technology	● Six external and four internal USB 2.0 ports
		● Four external USB 3.0 ports
		● Parallel and serial headers that can be used with an optional PCI bulkhead connector
