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.

		● 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, 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).
