Power limitations for graphics cards

CAUTION: To prevent damage, the overall power consumption of the workstation (including I/O

cards, CPU, and memory) must not exceed the maximum rating of the workstation power supply.

When when planning, purchasing, and installing graphics cards in your workstation, observe the

following power limitations:

●

Z210 CMT

◦

Maximum allowable graphics card power for Slot 2 is 150W. Note that 75W is available

from the system board and an additional 75W directly from the PSU (using the 6–pin power

connector from the power supply). If a second graphics card is installed in Slot 4, the

combined power consumption of both cards must not exceed 150W.

NOTE: If you use a graphics card with greater than 75 watts of power, leave the adjacent

slot empty for thermal cooling considerations.

◦

Slot 4 is mechanically x16 with four PCIe lanes connected; it supplies 25W of power. Do not

exceed this power limitation when installing a second graphics card in this slot.

●

Z210 SFF

◦

Maximum allowable graphics card power for Slot 2 is 45W. If a second graphics card is

installed in Slot 3, the combined power consumption of both cards must not exceed 45W.

◦

Overall power capacity of Slots 1 through 4 is 80W.

Installing an expansion card

NOTE: The following procedure describes how to install an expansion card in a typical HP Z

workstation. Your workstation may look different.

To install a PCI or PCIe expansion card:

1. Follow the procedures described in
