When ordering two processors, the second processor must be the same as the first. Intel processor
numbers are not a measurement of higher performance. Processor numbers differentiate features
within each processor family, not across different processor families.
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.

NOTE 1: For details on the supported memory configurations on the HP Z6 G4 Workstation, please refer to the
System Technical Specifications - System Board section of this document.
Each processor supports up to 6 channels of DDR4 memory. To realize full performance at least 1 DIMM must
be inserted into each channel.
c05527761 — DA – 15955 — Worldwide — Version 27 — March 1, 2021
With single-processor configurations, 6 DIMM slots are available. 6 additional DIMM slots are available with
the 2nd CPU & Memory Module.
The CPUs determine the speed at which the memory is clocked. If a 2400MT/s capable CPU is used in the
system, the maximum speed the memory will run at is 2400MT/s, regardless of the specified speed of the
memory.
The Z6 G4 is designed to work ONLY with DDR4 memory. The system will not work with DDR3 memory.
NOTE 2: Z6 G4 configurations that include a 2nd CPU require the HP Z6 Memory Cooling
Solution, which is available
both CTO (2JA81AV) and AMO (2HW44AA). Z6 G4 configurations
that include greater than 32GB total system
memory require the HP Z6 Memory Cooling
Solution, which is available both CTO (2JA81AV) and AMO
(2HW44AA).
NOTE: Factory-configured CTO (xxxxxAV) and aftermarket AMO (xxxxxAA, xxxxxAT) HP memory part numbers
designated as “2666” may ship with "2933" or "3200" speed memory components. Similarly, HP Memory part
numbers designated as "2933" may ship with "3200" speed memory. This does not affect HP part number
availability, nor does it affect system performance or operation. All hardware configurations currently
supporting HP memory part numbers designated as “2666” or 2933 have been fully qualified to work with
fast speed memory and are fully supported by HP under standard support terms.

512GB (4x128GB) DC Persistent Memory Configuration
NOTE 1: Supported only with Xeon 82xx, 62xx, 52xx and 4215/4215R processors.
a. Available as factory configured in Memory Mode or Storage Mode.
b. Systems configured with DCPMM memory will operate the memory subsystem at 2666 MT/s.
c. Operating System Support:
i. Windows 10 Pro for Workstations v1903 or later with all updates applied.
ii. Linux OS support may be found in the Linux Hardware Support Matrix.
d. Detailed setup, security and support information may be found in the Intel® Optane™ DC Persistent
Memory: Configuration and Setup on HP Z6 G4 and Z8 G4 Workstation white paper.
e. DCPMM solutions require additional DRAM memory to be included in the solution:
i. Systems configured with DCPMM in Memory Mode will include DRAM memory to be used as cache.
The amount of included DRAM memory is based on an 8:1 DCPMM to DRAM capacity ratio.
ii. Systems configured with DCPMM in Storage Mode will require DRAM System Memory to be
ordered separately.
iii. DCPMM Memory will report approximately 2% less than advertised capacity .
f. Total Memory (DCPMM + DRAM) per processor must be <= 1TB or 2TB per dual processor system.
i. When configured in memory mode, additional DRAM does not count against maximum processor
memory.
g. Maximum number of DCPMM modules in a Z6G4 is 4 per processor.
h. Customer is responsible for additional required DRAM when adding DCPMM modules in Memory
Mode.
i. HP Z6G4 configured with some AMD Graphics are limited to 1TB of total DCPMM and DRAM memory.
See AMD Graphics specifications for details.
NOTE 2: Requires 2nd processor option.

Memory Loading Order:
Load Order for Single and Dual Processor Configuration
Supports up to 768 GB DDR4-2933 ECC RAM* (transfer rates up to 2933MT/s) and 384 GB DDR4-2666 ECC
RAM (transfer rates up to 2666MT/s).
Memory Configuration
(Supported)
• Only Registered ECC DIMMs are supported.
• Do not install memory modules into memory slots if corresponding processor is not installed.
• Dual processor configurations with memory modules installed for only one processor is not
supported.
For systems installed with Microsoft Windows 7 (Ultimate, Enterprise or Pro), the maximum accessible
system memory is 192GB
*768 GB configuration requires 2 CPUs configuration.
Intel® Optane™ DC Persistent Memory is available factory configured in the following capacities:
• 128GB (1x128GB) Single Processor Configuration
• 256GB (2x128GB) Single Processor Configuration
• 512GB (4x128GB) Dual Processor Configuration
NOTES:
a. Supported only with Xeon 82xx, 62xx, 52xx and 4215/4215R processors.
b. Available as factory configured in Memory Mode or Storage Mode.
c. Systems configured with DCPMM memory will operate the memory subsystem at 2666 MT/s.
d. Operating System Support:
i. Windows 10 Pro for Workstations v1903 or later with all updates applied.
ii. Linux OS support may be found in the Linux Hardware Support Matrix.
e. Detailed setup, security and support information may be found in the Intel® Optane™ DC
Persistent Memory: Configuration and Setup on HP Z6 G4 and Z8 G4 Workstation white paper.
f. DCPMM solutions require additional DRAM memory to be included in the solution:
System Technical Specifications
c05527761 — DA – 15955 — Worldwide — Version 27 — March 1, 2021
i. Systems configured with DCPMM in Memory Mode will include DRAM memory to be used as
cache. The amount of included DRAM memory is based on an 8:1 DCPMM to DRAM capacity
ratio.
ii. Systems configured with DCPMM in Storage Mode will require DRAM System Memory to be
ordered separately.
iii. DCPMM Memory will report approximately 2% less than advertised capacity .
g. Total Memory (DCPMM + DRAM) per processor must be <= 1TB or 2TB per dual processor system.
i. When Configured in Memory Mode, additional DRAM does not count against maximum
processor memory.
ii. Maximum number of DCPMM modules in a Z6G4 is 4 per processor.
h. Customer is responsible for additional required DRAM when adding DCPMM modules in Memory
Mode.
i. HP Z6G4 configured with some AMD Graphics are limited to 1TB of total DCPMM and DRAM
memory. See AMD Graphics specifications for details.
