Expansion card slots

The workstation implements one Intel X58 I/O chip to provide a total of six high-performance graphics and I/O slots. In addition to the two full x16 PCIe Gen2 slots, two additional PCIe x8 (4) slots (x8 mechanically, x4 electrically) provide extra I/O bandwidth for high speed I/O cards. Open ended PCIe x8 connectors allow the user to install x16 physical size cards in the x8 (4) slots. Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) drives are supported via a plug-in card.

Additional features

Redundant array of independent disks (RAID) configurations for SATA support modes 0, 1, 5 and 10. eSATA (3.0 Gbps) is supported using an optional adapter. The workstation provides 8 external and 4 internal USB 2.0 ports. The 475W power supply is 85% efficient and enables Energy Star Version 5.0 system configurations. HP WattSaver technology enables support of the European Union EuP power limit of 1W in off mode. HP Quiet Fan Technology enables quiet system operation.
