Comparison of the HP Z200 and HP Z400 architectures

The HP Z200 is a new ® ®-based entry workstation, positioned below the HP Z400 Workstation. Its architecture introduces high performance with lower cost for customers who need an optimal price/performance solution.

Windows ®. Life without Walls™. HP recommends Windows 7.

Processor technology HP Z200 block diagram The HP Z200 and HP Z400 both support Intel® 45nm and 32nm processors utilizing ® Intel Hyper-Threading, Turbo Boost, and Smart Cache Technologies to provide significantly PCIe2 x 16 Graphics Slot better performance than the previous generation. The HP Z200 uses processors up to 95W ® ® ® ® Integrated Graphics from the latest quad-core Intel Xeon Processor 3400 Series and dual-core Intel (on certain CPUs) G1101, Intel® ® G6950, and Intel® Core™ i3/i5 (with integrated graphics) Processor ® 1,2,3 4x DDR3-1333 families, along with the Intel 3450 PCH (). The HP Z400 uses PC3-10600 DMI processors from the Intel Xeon Processor 3500 and 3600 Series along with two Intel I/O UDIMM controllers. The HP Z200 two-chip architecture is more cost efficient than the HP Z400 PCIe x 16 (4) Slot three-chip architecture with its higher performance capabilities in memory, graphics and PCIe x 4 (1) Slot I/O. This robust expandability on HP Z400 is enabled through a larger power supply. High Definition Audio Intel 3450 PCIe x 1 Slot Memory technology 13x USB 2.0 Ports PCH (8 External, 5 Internal) 32-bit PCI Slot The HP Z200 and HP Z400 both support ECC-protected unbuffered DIMMs (UDIMMs) SCH5327 SIO 32-bit PCI Slot based on DDR34 1333 MHz technology. Only the top HP Z400 bin is at present capable of 1333 MHz interface, with the rest being 1066 MHz capable. The HP Z200 Core i3/i5 and 6x SATA 3.0 32-bit PCI Slot Gbps Ports Xeon 3400 Processor Series, which were released later, are capable of 1333 MHz memory Intel 82578 GbE LAN interface. Additionally, the HP Z200 also supports non-ECC UDIMMs. The HP Z200 supports HP Z400 block diagram system memory sizes up to 16 GB5 (using 4GB DIMMs) through two direct attach memory channels, while the HP Z400 support system memory sizes up to 24 GB through three memory channels.

I/O Slots The HP Z200 provide a total of seven high-performance graphics and I/O slots. In addition to the one full x16 PCIe Gen2 slot, several PCIe slots at Gen1 speeds are provided. One QPI PCIe x16 (4) slot (x16 mechanical, x4 electrical) provides support for a second graphics 6x DDR3-1333 PC3-10600 PCIe2 x 16 Graphics Slot card, and one PCIe x4 (1) slot (x4 mechanical, x1 electrical) and one PCIe x1 slot provide UDIMM Intel X58 PCIe2 x 16 Slot extra I/O bandwidth for high speed I/O cards. Three PCI 32-bit/33 MHz slots support 64-bit IOH PCI card installation. In comparison, the HP Z400 provides a total of six slots, including two PCIe2 x 8 (4) Slot full x16 PCIe Gen2 slots, one PCIe Gen2 x8 (4) slot (x8 mechanical, x4 electrical), one DMI

PCIe x8 (4) slot, and two PCI 32-bit/33 MHz slots that support 64-bit PCI card installation. PCIe x 6 (4) Slot High Definition Audio Other Features 32-bit PCI Slot 12x USB 2.0 Ports Leveraging the latest power supply technology, the HP Z200 has an 89% efficient 320W Intel 3450 32-bit PCI Slot (8 External, 4 Internal) PCH power supply while the HP Z400 has an 85% efficient 475W power supply. The HP Z200 IEEE 1394a is also the first HP workstation to eliminate BFR and PVC materials in the system board for SCH5327 SIO environmental leadership. Intel® Active Management Technology (AMT) is supported for the BCM5764 GbE LAN HP Z200 and DASH management technology is supported for the HP Z400. HP Quiet Fan 6x SATA 3.0 Technology enables quiet system operation on both products. Gbps Ports

1 Dual-Core and Quad-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; Not all customers or software applications will necessarily benefit from use of these technologies. 2 64-bit computing on Intel architecture requires a system with a processor, , 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 http://www.intel.com/info/em64t for more information. 3 Intel’s numbering is not a measurement of higher performance. 4 Each processor supports up to 3 channels of DDR3 memory. To realize full performance at least 1 DIMM must be inserted into each channel. 5 Maximum memory capacities assume Windows 64-bit operating systems or Linux. With Windows 32-bit operating systems, memory above 3 GB may not all be available due to system resource requirements.
