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

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.

3

For full Intel® vPro™ functionality, Windows, a vPro™ supported processor, vPro™ enabled Q370 chipset or higher and vPro™

enabled WLAN card are required. Some functionality, such as Intel Active management technology and Intel Virtualization
technology, requires additional 3rd party software in order to run. Availability of future "virtual appliances" applications for Intel
vPro™ technology is dependent on 3rd party software providers. Compatibility of this generation of Intel vPro™ technology-based
hardware with future "virtual appliances" is yet to be determined.

NOTE1: SATA hardware-assisted RAID is not supported on Linux® systems. The Linux® kernel, with
built-in software RAID, provides excellent functionality and performance. It is a good alternative to
hardware-assisted RAID. All drives must be identical in type and capacity. Boot volume/RAID array must
be less than 2 TB

NOTE2: 125W CPU SKU is not supported to install the SATA 2.5in HDD or SSD.
NOTE3: 65W CPU and MXM GFX card SKU is not supported to install the SATA 2.5in HDD or SSD.

*For hard drives and solid state drives, GB = 1 billion bytes. TB = 1 trillion bytes. Actual formatted
capacity is less. Up to 36 GB (for Windows 10) of system disk is reserved for the system recovery

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 15 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.

• UEFI specification version 2.7

• 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.

• 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
