Disclaimers
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

Power Supply
Choice of:
1125W/100V/15A 90% Efficient wide-ranging, active Power Factor Correction
The power delivery system includes four 6+2-pin graphics power cables.
1450W/200V/10A 90% Efficient wide-ranging, active Power Factor Correction The power delivery
system includes four 6+2-pin graphics power cables.
- Available in limited regions
1450W/100V/20A 90% Efficient wide-ranging, active Power Factor Correction
The power delivery system includes four 6+2-pin graphics power cables.
1700W/200V/10A 90% Efficient wide-ranging, active Power Factor Correction
The power delivery system includes four 6+2-pin graphics power cables.
Notes: The 1125W/100V/15A (1450W at 200V Input Voltage) power supply can also supply 1275W of
output power when the input voltage is greater than 105V. If the input voltage is less than 105V, but
greater than 90V for any reason, the maximum power that can be drawn is 1125W. An uninterruptible
power supply (UPS) is highly recommended if 1275W output power is desired.
The 1125W Power Supply can also supply 1450W of output power when the input voltage is greater
than 200V under all conditions.

The 1450W/100V/20A (1700W at 200V Input Voltage) power supply can also supply 1550W of output
power when the input voltage is greater than 105V. If the input voltage is less than 105V, but greater
than 90V for any reason, the maximum power that can be drawn is 1450W. An uninterruptible power
supply (UPS) is highly recommended if 1550W output power is desired.
The 1450W Power Supply can also supply 1700W of output power when the input voltage is greater
than 200V under all conditions.
The 1450W/100V/20A chassis is shipped with a 20A power cord and requires a 20A outlet in an
environment with 100V/110V. Site modification may be required. Check with your sales lead and click

NOTES:
1. For details on the supported memory configurations on the HP Z8 G4 Workstation, please refer to the
System Technical Specifications - System Board section of this document.
2. Sleep (S3 state) support:
- Sleep (S3 state) may not be supported with non-HP validated and qualified 64 GB LR DIMMs.
- Sleep (S3 state) is not supported with 128 GB 3DS LR DIMMs
3. You cannot intermix different types of memory. The system will not work if LR DIMMs, RDIMMs or 3DS LR
DIMMs are intermixed.
DIMMs should be equally distributed across all six memory channels for optimal performance.
Each processor supports up to 6 channels of DDR4 memory. To realize full performance at least 1 DIMM must
be inserted into each channel.
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.
MT/s = Million Transfers per second
The Z8 G4 is designed to work ONLY with DDR4 memory. The system will not work with DDR3 memory.
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.

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. Z8 G4 Note: “M” processors support a total memory limit < =2TB per processors or 4TB per dual
processor system
ii. When Configured in Memory Mode, additional DRAM does not count against maximum processor
memory.
g. Maximum number of DCPMM modules in a Z8G4 is 6 per processor.
h. Customer is responsible for additional required DRAM when adding DCPMM modules in Memory
Mode.
i. HP Z8G4 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.

NOTE: The 1125W (1450W at 200V Input Voltage) power supply can also supply 1275W of output power
when the input voltage is greater than 105V. If the input voltage is less than 105V, but greater than 90V for
any reason, the maximum power that can be drawn is 1125W. An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is
highly recommended if 1275W output power is desired.
The 1125W Power Supply can also supply 1450W of output power when the input voltage is greater than
180V under all conditions.
NOTE: The 1450W (1700W at 200V Input Voltage) power supply can also supply 1550W of output power
when the input voltage is greater than 105V. If the input voltage is less than 105V, but greater than 90V for
any reason, the maximum power that can be drawn is 1450W. An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is
highly recommended if 1550W output power is desired.
