HP Z420 Xeon E5-1603 Tower Workstation

This HP Z420 tower workstation is built around an Intel Xeon E5-1603 quad-core processor running at 2.8 GHz. It ships with 4GB of DDR3 ECC memory and a 320GB SATA hard drive configuration. The system includes Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, making it ready for professional applications that require a stable, certified platform.

Quadro FX570 Graphics and Dual Storage

The workstation includes an NVIDIA Quadro FX570 video card with 256MB memory, providing dual-monitor support for visual workflows. Storage consists of two 160GB 7.2K RPM SATA 3.5-inch drives totalling 320GB, connected to an integrated SATA 6.0 Gb/s controller. A DVD-ROM drive is also fitted for legacy media access.

Suited for Legacy CAD and ECC Memory Needs

This configuration suits users maintaining older CAD environments or specialised software certified on the Xeon E5-1603 platform with ECC memory. Buyers who need more storage capacity, faster solid-state storage, or a modern CPU architecture for current workloads should look at something else.

Questions about this item

Will the 4GB DDR3 memory need to be expanded for heavier workloads?

The system ships with a single 4GB DDR3 1600MHz ECC module; additional slots are available on the Z420 motherboard for upgrades using compatible DDR3 ECC memory.

Which component reaches its limit first during sustained heavy use?

The NVIDIA Quadro FX570 with 256MB video memory and the single 2.8GHz Xeon E5-1603 quad-core CPU will constrain 3D rendering and multi-threaded compute tasks before other subsystems.

How much heat and noise does the tower produce when running all day?

The single power supply and integrated Intel 82579LM GbE NIC draw modest power; the compact tower uses standard workstation cooling that remains relatively quiet under typical office loads.
