Power limitations for graphics cards CAUTION: To prevent damage, the overall power consumption of the workstation (including I/O cards, CPU, and memory) must not exceed the maximum rating of the workstation power supply. When when planning, purchasing, and installing graphics cards in your workstation, observe the following power limitations: ● Z210 CMT ◦ Maximum allowable graphics card power for Slot 2 is 150W. Note that 75W is available from the system board and an additional 75W directly from the PSU (using the 6-pin power connector from the power supply). If a second graphics card is installed in Slot 4, the combined power consumption of both cards must not exceed 150W. NOTE: If you use a graphics card with greater than 75 watts of power, leave the adjacent slot empty for thermal cooling considerations. ◦ Slot 4 is mechanically x16 with four PCIe lanes connected; it supplies 25W of power. Do not exceed this power limitation when installing a second graphics card in this slot. ● Z210 SFF ◦ Maximum allowable graphics card power for Slot 2 is 45W. If a second graphics card is installed in Slot 3, the combined power consumption of both cards must not exceed 45W. ◦ Overall power capacity of Slots 1 through 4 is 80W. Installing an expansion card NOTE: The following procedure describes how to install an expansion card in a typical HP Z workstation. Your workstation may look different. To install a PCI or PCIe expansion card: 1. Follow the procedures described in Preparing for component installation on page 34 to prepare the workstation for component installation. 42 Chapter 8 Installing PCI/PCIe devices ENWW

Power limitations for graphics cards
CAUTION:
To prevent damage, the overall power consumption of the workstation (including I/O
cards, CPU, and memory) must not exceed the maximum rating of the workstation power supply.
When when planning, purchasing, and installing graphics cards in your workstation, observe the
following power limitations:
●
Z210 CMT
◦
Maximum allowable graphics card power for Slot 2 is 150W. Note that 75W is available
from the system board and an additional 75W directly from the PSU (using the 6–pin power
connector from the power supply). If a second graphics card is installed in Slot 4, the
combined power consumption of both cards must not exceed 150W.
NOTE:
If you use a graphics card with greater than 75 watts of power, leave the adjacent
slot empty for thermal cooling considerations.
◦
Slot 4 is mechanically x16 with four PCIe lanes connected; it supplies 25W of power. Do not
exceed this power limitation when installing a second graphics card in this slot.
●
Z210 SFF
◦
Maximum allowable graphics card power for Slot 2 is 45W. If a second graphics card is
installed in Slot 3, the combined power consumption of both cards must not exceed 45W.
◦
Overall power capacity of Slots 1 through 4 is 80W.
Installing an expansion card
NOTE:
The following procedure describes how to install an expansion card in a typical HP Z
workstation. Your workstation may look different.
To install a PCI or PCIe expansion card:
1.
Follow the procedures described in
Preparing for component installation
on page
34
to prepare
the workstation for component installation.
