HP Z420 Xeon E5-1650 v2 Workstation

This HP Z420 tower workstation is built around an Intel Xeon E5-1650 v2 processor running at 3.5 GHz with six cores. It ships with 16 GB of DDR3 1866 MHz ECC memory configured as two 8 GB modules. Storage consists of two 500 GB SATA hard drives totalling 1 TB, and a DVD-ROM drive is included. The system arrives with Windows 10 Pro 64-bit installed.

Suits single-threaded and light multi-core workloads

The six-core Xeon and ECC memory make this unit suitable for professionals running legacy CAD, simulation or rendering applications that rely on certified drivers. The Quadro FX570 graphics card provides dual-monitor support with 256 MB of video memory. Buyers who need solid-state boot speeds, larger memory capacities or modern GPU compute features should look at other platforms.

DDR3 1866 MHz ECC memory configuration

The workstation uses DDR3 PC3-14900 unbuffered ECC modules, a specification that dictates compatibility for any future memory upgrades. Matching this exact memory type is essential because the platform does not support other DDR generations. Verify your application requirements against this memory standard before purchasing.

Questions about this item

What size drive bays does the Z420 tower accept for the 3.5" SATA hard drives?

The workstation uses 3.5-inch bays for its two 500 GB SATA drives, so replacement drives must be 3.5-inch SATA models.

How is the NVIDIA Quadro FX570 video card installed, and what step is often missed?

The card seats in a PCI Express slot; the step people miss is connecting the monitor cables to the card instead of the onboard video port.

What memory specification must match when adding or replacing RAM later?

Additional modules must be DDR3 PC3-14900 1866 MHz unbuffered ECC to match the installed 2 x 8 GB configuration.
