The specifications shown in this column represent the following: (all core maximum turbo steps, one core maximum turbo

E5-2687Wv3, E5-2690v3, E5-2695v3, E5-2697v3 and E5-2699v3 REQUIRE the 1125W (1450W at 200V Input Voltage) Power
Supply Option.
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. See:
http://www.intel.com/products/processor_number/ for details.
Quad-Core, Six-Core, Eight-Core , 10-Core, 12-Core, 14-Core, 16-Core and 18-Core technologies are
designed to improve performance of multithreaded software products and hardware-aware
multitasking operating systems and may require appropriate operating system software for full
benefits; check with software provider to determine suitability; Not all customers or software
applications will necessarily benefit from use of these technologies.
64-bit computing on Intel® 64 architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS,
operating system, device drivers, and applications enabled for Intel® 64 architecture. Processors will
not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel® 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. Performance
will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. See:

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 200V under all conditions.

32GB DDR4-2133 ECC Load Reduced (LR) RAM
NOTES:
For details on the supported memory configurations on the HP Z840 Workstation, please refer to the
System Technical Specifications - System Board section of this document.
DIMMs should be equally distributed across all four memory channels for optimal performance.
Each processor supports up to 4 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. For example, if a 1600MT/s capable
CPU is used in the system, the maximum speed the memory will run at is 1600MT/s regardless of the
specified speed of the memory.
MT/s = Million Transfers per second
You cannot intermix LR DIMMs with Registered DIMMs. The system will not work.
The Z840 is designed to work ONLY with DDR4 memory. The system will not work with DDR3 memory.

*Input voltage restriction
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
