Computer speci cations 11

Ensuring proper ventilation

Proper ventilation for the system is important for computer operation. To be sure that there is adequate ventilation:

●Operate the computer on a sturdy, level surface.

●Provide at least 15.24 cm (6.00 in) of clearance at the front and back of the computer. (This is the minimum distance for all computer models.)

●Be sure that the ambient air temperature surrounding the computer falls within the speci ed limits (see Environmental speci cations on page 11).

●For cabinet installation, ensure adequate cabinet ventilation and ensure that the ambient temperature within the cabinet does not exceed speci ed limits.

●Never restrict the incoming or outgoing airflow of the computer by blocking any vents or air intakes.

Adding monitors

Planning for additional monitors

Entry model

The HP Z2 Mini G3 Entry system supports up to three simultaneous displays running on the Intel integrated GPU. Each display is capable of resolutions up to 4096 × 2160 @ 60 Hz.

It is also possible to drive a panel at a resolution of 5120 × 2880 @60 Hz by using two of the DisplayPort 1.2 outputs together. The panel must support this method of achieving this resolution for this to be possible.

Performance model

The HP Z2 Mini G3 Performance model is capable of operating in two distinct modes: NVIDIA GPU–only mode or NVIDIA GPU + Intel GPU mode. The NVIDIA GPU–only mode o ers the best performance, while the NVIDIA GPU + Intel GPU mode allows the system to drive an additional two displays.

NVIDIA GPU–only mode:

●The default con guration.

●O ers the best performance because every DisplayPort 1.2 port is driven directly by the NVIDIA Quadro GPU.

●Capable of driving up to four independent displays at a maximum resolution of 4096×2160 @ 60 Hz or two independent displays at a maximum resolution of 5120×2880 @ 60 Hz by combining DisplayPort outputs. The display must support this method of achieving this resolution.

NVIDIA GPU + Intel GPU mode:

●The NVIDIA GPU can support a maximum of four independent displays. To support an additional two displays, the system can be con gured to simultaneously use both the NVIDIA Quadro GPU and the Intel integrated GPU.

●This mode is con gured in the system BIOS.

1.Press the power button on the system, and then repeatedly press the F10 key until you’ve reached the system BIOS GUI.

2.Navigate to the Advanced tab.

3.Select Built-In Device Options.

4.Select Enable Intel graphics on DisplayPort port #4.

5.Press Enter to accept the prompt notifying you that the Intel GPU will be output on DisplayPort #4.

6.Press F10 to save your changes and exit.

●This mode is capable of driving up to six independent displays.

— Because the system has only four DisplayPort 1.2 ports, two of the DisplayPort 1.2 ports must each drive two displays in a daisy-chained con guration. This is accomplished by using DisplayPort

14 Chapter 2 System management

1.2 Multi-Stream Transport (MST) and requires displays which support MST or DisplayPort hubs capable of MST.

—To achieve a six-display con guration, one of the daisy chains must be driven by the Intel GPU on DisplayPort #4. Refer to Performance model on page 4 to identify speci c DisplayPorts. The other daisy chain can be driven by the NVIDIA Quadro GPU on any of the remaining DisplayPort 1.2 ports.

—Each DisplayPort 1.2 output on the system is capable of driving a display at a resolution of 4096 × 2160 @ 60 Hz. When two displays are daisy-chained together from a single DisplayPort 1.2 port, each display in the daisy chain is bandwidth-limited to a maximum resolution of 2560 × 1600 @ 60 Hz.

●Performance is dependent upon which GPU is running the application. For the best performance of a particular application, ensure that the application is running on the NVIDIA Quadro GPU.

Planning process

The process for adding monitors depends on the type and number of monitors you add.

Use the following process to plan for adding more monitors:

1.Assess your monitor needs.

a.Determine how many monitors you require.

b.Determine the kind of graphics performance you want. For maximum performance, ensure that your display is driven by the NVIDIA Quadro GPU.

c.Note the type of graphics connector used by each monitor. HP provides graphics cards with DisplayPort (DP) and DVI interfaces, but you can use adapters and third-party cards for other graphics formats, including DVI-I, HDMI, or VGA.

TIP: Some adapters for older legacy hardware may cost more than others. You may want to compare the cost of acquiring adapters with the cost of getting a newer monitor that doesn't need adapters.

2.Install drivers and con gure resolutions.

a.Be sure that you have the correct drivers for the card. See http://www.hp.com for HP-quali ed drivers.

b.Con gure each monitor’s resolution, orientation, and placement through Windows Display Settings. For details, refer to Windows Help or to http://www.microsoft.com.

c.For monitor setup in Linux, you can often use the settings tool for the graphics cards (e.g., NVIDIA® nvidia-settings). In some recent Linux releases, the window manager system (e.g., Gnome 3)

preferences must also be modi ed.

TIP: To simplify troubleshooting of possible problems, enable the monitors one at a time: enable the rst monitor and be sure that it works properly before enabling the next monitor.

Adding monitors 15

Matching graphics card connector to monitor connectors

The following table describes monitor con guration scenarios.

Graphics card interface connector			Monitor connector
	VGA	DVI		Dual Link DVI	DisplayPort	HDMI
					(DP)
DISPLAYPORT	DisplayPort to
	VGA adapter	DP to DVI		DP to DL DVI	DP cable	DP to HDMI
	(sold	adapter		adapter		adapter
	separately)

NOTE: DisplayPort connections have the highest performance; VGA connections have the lowest.

Identifying monitor connection requirements

Graphics card with DisplayPort output —The system has four DisplayPort 1.2 outputs. You can connect a monitor to each connector. Use the proper adapters, if required.

Connecting and on ur n monitors

1.Connect the monitor cable adapters (if required) to the computer, then connect the appropriate monitor cables to the adapters or directly to the graphics card.

2.Connect the other ends of the monitor cables to the monitors.

3.Connect one end of the monitor power cord to the monitor and the other end to an AC outlet.

4.Con gure the monitor. For details, refer to Microsoft Help or to http://www.microsoft.com.

For monitor setup in Linux, you can often use the settings tool for the graphics cards (e.g., NVIDIA nvidia-settings or AMD Catalyst Control Center). In some recent Linux releases, the window manager system (e.g., Gnome 3) preferences must also be modi ed.

16 Chapter 2 System management

Customizing the monitor display (Windows)

You can manually select or change the monitor model, refresh rates, screen resolution, color settings, font sizes, and power management settings.

●To change display settings for Windows 10, type control panel in the taskbar search box, and then select Control Panel. Select Appearance and Personalization, then Display.

●To change display settings in Windows 7, right-click a blank area on the desktop, and then click Screen Resolution.

For more information about customizing your monitor display, see the following resources:

●Online documentation provided with the graphics controller utility

●Documentation included with your monitor

Power management features

Power management features 17

Hyper-Threading Technology (HTT)

This computer supports HTT, an Intel-proprietary technology that improves processor performance through parallelization of computations (doing multiple tasks at once).

The operating system treats an HTT-enabled processor as two virtual processors and shares the workload between them when possible. This feature requires that the operating system support multiple processors and be speci cally optimized for HTT.

Use the Computer Setup (F10) Utility to enable HTT.

Go to http://www.hp.com/go/quickspecs to determine if your CPU supports HTT.

SATA Power Management

Intel Turbo Boost Technology

The HP Z Workstation series supports Intel® Turbo Boost Technology.

This feature enables the CPU to run at frequencies above the normal frequency. When all CPU cores are not necessary for the workload, inactive cores are turned o and power is diverted to the active cores to increase their performance.

Turbo Boost is enabled and disabled with the Computer Setup (F10) Utility.

Go to http://www.hp.com/go/quickspecs to determine if your CPU supports Turbo Boost.

BIOS ROM

The BIOS ROM is a collection of machine language applications stored as rmware in ROM. It includes functions such as Power-On Self-Test (POST), PCI device initialization, Plug and Play support, power management, and Computer Setup (F10) Utility.
