HP Z220 SFF Workstation system board architecture
This section describes the system architectures.
The following figure shows the typical 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.

Intel DMI2 interface connecting the processor to the I/O controller
●
400 W, 90% efficient, 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
●
Two direct-attach memory channels enable low-latency access and fast data transfer for
●
improved performance
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
●
Graphics cards
I/O technology
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
●
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).
