Built To Perform

Built to fuel the creativity of those who reimagine our world, the VR-ready Z8 G4 Series Tower Workstation from HP has been designed to run complex simulations, process huge amounts of data, edit 8K video in real-time, work in edge-computing environments, and be used for other intensive tasks. Its exterior provides tool-free access to a modular interior, and strategically placed vents and ducts throughout the system help streamline airflow for quiet performance. The system is powered by an Intel Xeon Silver 4114 Eight-Core processor and 13.75​ cache, all of which will allow you to run multiple applications simultaneously and provide significant performance gains when running multi-threaded tasks. If more power is needed, the CPU can deliver extra performance by increasing its clock speed up to 3.0 GHz utilizing Intel’s Turbo Boost technology.

Mobility & Flexibility

With full grip front and rear aluminum carrying handles and slick feet, the system can be moved to a new location or to gain better access. The system can be used in desktop/deskside orientations or rack-mounted using HP’s enterprise-class, fully extendable rails.

Interior Design & Cooling

The interior is organized with a consistent user access strategy. All user-serviceable components are identified with blue touchpoints. Cables are hidden or efficiently routed, providing better component access and airflow management. The chassis is designed to maximize fresh air inlet to the system, and direct cool air where it’s needed. The CPU and memory ducting has a design to help maximize fresh air inlet to both the memory and CPU and keeps the memory airflow separated from the CPU airflow. The memory ducting has a patent-pending multi-channel design that directs cooler air from the inlet to both the front and rear DIMM banks, as well as to separate segments along the length of the DIMMs. The zone between the front and rear CPUs is divided by a baffle to direct fresh air to both CPUs and prevent preheated exhaust air from the front CPU cooler from entering the rear CPU cooler.

Designing the Experience

Due to the tool-free ease of use, HP understands the system and component security may be a concern. Therefore, several security features have been incorporated. The left side access panel includes a key lock and the right-side panel can be secured with the HP BPC Security Lock or Kensington security device. An optional system intrusion switch is also available. The rear access power supply is unlocked by default but can be secured by removing the PSU and enabling the locking mechanism on the side cover of the power supply.

PCI Express Connectors

Seven PCIe Gen3 slots provide expandability supporting up to four PCIe storage devices with optional slots, including Thunderbolt 3 cards and RAID controllers.

Slot 1
PCIe Gen3 x4 (transforms to PCIe Gen3 x8 when a second CPU is installed)

Slot 2
PCIe Gen3 x16

Slot 3
PCIe Gen3 x16 (available only when a second CPU is installed)

Slot 4
PCIe Gen3 x16

Slot 5
PCIe Gen3 x4

Slot 6
PCIe Gen3 x16 (available only when a second CPU is installed)

Slot 7
PCIe Gen3 x4

Note: The PCIe x4 and PCIe x8 connectors are all open-ended, allowing a PCIe x16 card to be seated in the slot

Front I/O

This HP Z8 G4 is configured with the Base Front I/O option and is equipped with four 5 Gb/s USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports (the left-most supports battery charging), a combo headset/microphone jack, and the option for an SD card reader.

Internal I/O

Internal Slot 1 (CPU 1)
PCIe Gen3 x8 (always available, for M.2 storage)

Internal Slot 2 (CPU 2)
PCIe Gen3 x8 (available only when a second CPU is installed, for M.2 storage)

2 USB 2.0 ports available with a single 2×5 header
1 USB 2.0 port available with a 1×6 header
1 USB 3.0 and 1 USB 2.0 port available with a 2×6 header

Note: The 2×5 header can be converted to a standard USB 2.0 Type-A port using HP’s Internal USB Bus Port Kit, which uses half of the 2×5 header. The 1×6 header can be converted to USB 2.0 Type-A using the same kit and uses 5 pin positions on the header, and the 2×6 header can also be converted to USB 2.0 Type-A using the same kit, which takes up half of the 2×6 header. Additionally, the USB 3.0 header is available with a single 20-pin shrouded connector for a USB media card reader.

Rear I/O

In the rear I/O area, the HP Z8 G4 provides six 5 Gb/s USB 3.0 Type-A ports, dual Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports, support for two additional Ethernet ports via a separately sold module, a 3.5mm audio line-in/mic-in jack, a 3.5mm audio line-out jack, two PS/2 ports, and a serial port. Additional rear I/O ports can be added via PCIe add-in cards.
