HP Z420 Xeon E5-1603 Workstation

The HP Z420 workstation delivers professional computing power with an Intel Xeon E5-1603 quad-core processor running at 2.80 GHz. It includes 16 GB of DDR3 ECC memory for data integrity in critical workloads. The system arrives without a hard drive or operating system, ready for custom configuration. A 600 W power supply supports expansion cards and storage upgrades.

Ideal for engineering and rendering tasks

This workstation suits users who need ECC memory reliability and a stable LGA2011 platform for CAD, simulation or video editing. It is not for buyers who want a complete out-of-the-box system with storage and an OS pre-installed. Builders requiring newer instruction sets or higher core counts should evaluate alternative platforms.

Four-channel DDR3 ECC memory architecture

The motherboard provides eight DDR3 slots across four channels, allowing memory bandwidth to scale with populated modules. ECC support detects and corrects single-bit errors automatically. Maximum capacity depends on the DIMM density chosen by the installer.

Questions about this item

Will the FCLGA2011 socket and 600 W PSU support my existing LGA2011 Xeon and PCIe GPU?

The board uses an FCLGA2011 socket and ships with a 600 W HP power supply, so a compatible LGA2011 Xeon and standard PCIe graphics card will run from the included PSU.

How do I confirm the 16 GB DDR3 ECC memory is detected and error-correcting after first boot?

Enter the BIOS or run a memory diagnostic; the POST screen and system information will show 16 GB DDR3 with ECC active when the modules are seated correctly.

Does the box contain a hard drive, GPU or OS, or must I buy them separately?

The unit includes the motherboard, Xeon E5-1603, 16 GB DDR3 ECC and 600 W PSU; storage, graphics and operating system are not included and must be purchased separately.
