HP Z800 manual Rack Mount Requirements, Getting Started

NOTE These values can fluctuate if uncertified hardware components or third party applications are added to your system. The use of uncertified hardware components or third party applications is not supported. Please consult the manufacturer's documentation for standardized minimum and maximum values.

The following table summarizes the peak (at startup) power consumed by the HP Z800 system and the heat it generates under the maximum processing load produced by a Visual Effects, Finishing, or Colour Grading application. For more detailed specifications, including noise output, see the documentation provided by the manufacturer.

Component	Quantity	Startup Amps		Cont. Amps (120V		Watts	Heat (BTUs)
		(120V / 240V)		/ 240V)
HP Z800 (with cards)	1	4.0	/ 2.0	3.8	/ 1.9	456	1556
Lucid ADA 88192	1	0.5	/ 0.25	0.5	/ 0.25	60	205
Stone® Direct XR storage	1	3.8	/ 1.9	2.78 / 1.39		334	1140
chassis
Stone Direct XE expansion	1	3.75 / 1.88		2.3	/ 1.15	276	942
chassis
Stone Direct XR + Stone	1	6.41 / 3.2		5.2	/ 2.6	624	2130
Direct XE
Autodesk® Control Surface	1	1 / 0.5		1 / 0.5		120	410
(Lustre only)

You must be able to meet the startup power requirement and have a climate control system with the capacity to maintain the temperature of these components under the maximum processing load. The following table shows standard conversion benchmarks and an example of how they can be used to determine climate control requirements.

Unit Conversion	Example
1 Watt = 3.413 BTU	456 Watts = 1556.33 BTU
12000 BTU = 1 Ton of air conditioning	1556.33 BTU = 0.13 Tons of air conditioning

Rack Mount Requirements

If you plan to rack-mount your system, allow sufficient space for each component, as indicated in the following table.

Component	Quantity	Form Factor	Required Rack Space
HP Z800 workstation	1	5U	5U
AJA OEM-2K breakout box	1	1U	1U
Stone Direct XR storage chassis	1	2U	2U
Stone Direct XE expansion chassis (optional)	1	2U	2U
