HP – Z840 Workstation
The HP Z840 Workstation is a high-performance professional workstation engineered for demanding computing, engineering, CAD, 3D modeling, visualization, rendering, scientific applications, and content creation. Featuring support for dual Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 processors, up to 1TB of DDR4 ECC registered memory, extensive PCIe expansion, high-performance professional graphics, and flexible storage configurations, the Z840 provides exceptional scalability for demanding professional workloads.
The HP Z840 Workstation is a professional dual-socket workstation designed for users who require substantial processing power, memory capacity, graphics performance, and expansion capability. Its enterprise-class architecture makes it suitable for engineering departments, design studios, scientific environments, media production, visualization, and other compute-intensive applications.
Dual Intel Xeon Processing
The Z840 supports two Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 or v4 processors, providing a highly scalable platform for multi-threaded applications.
Depending on configuration, supported processors include models such as the Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4, offering up to 22 cores per processor. A dual-processor configuration can therefore provide extremely high core and thread capacity for parallel workloads.
The platform also supports a wide range of Xeon processors, allowing the workstation to be configured according to the required balance between clock speed, core count, and workload performance.
Up to 1TB DDR4 ECC Memory
One of the major strengths of the Z840 is its exceptional memory capacity.
The workstation supports up to 1TB of DDR4-2133 ECC Registered or Load-Reduced DIMM memory, depending on processor and memory configuration. It provides:
- Up to 8 DIMM slots with one processor
- Up to 16 DIMM slots with two processors
- DDR4 ECC registered memory support
- High-capacity configurations for memory-intensive applications
This makes the Z840 particularly suitable for large datasets, simulations, 3D environments, scientific computing, virtualization, and professional content-creation workloads.
Professional Graphics Support
The HP Z840 supports a broad selection of professional graphics solutions.
Depending on configuration, graphics options include NVIDIA Quadro and AMD FirePro/Radeon Pro professional GPUs. Available configurations can include high-end cards such as the NVIDIA Quadro M4000, M5000, M6000, P5000, and P6000, along with other professional graphics solutions.
These graphics options make the Z840 suitable for:
- 3D CAD
- Engineering visualization
- Architecture
- 3D modeling
- Rendering
- Animation
- Video production
- Scientific visualization
- Medical imaging
- Professional graphics applications
Extensive PCIe Expansion
The Z840 is designed as a highly expandable workstation, providing multiple PCIe expansion slots for graphics cards, storage controllers, networking adapters, capture cards, and other professional hardware.
Its expansion architecture allows users to build specialized configurations for demanding workflows while retaining the flexibility to upgrade components as requirements change.
Flexible Storage
The workstation supports a combination of SATA and SAS storage technologies, allowing configurations ranging from conventional hard drives and SSDs to high-performance professional storage solutions.
The platform can accommodate multiple internal storage devices, making it appropriate for large project libraries, databases, media files, engineering datasets, and other storage-intensive applications.
Professional Reliability
The Z840 was designed as an enterprise-class professional workstation rather than a conventional consumer desktop. Its dual-processor architecture, ECC memory support, extensive expansion capability, and professional graphics certification make it suitable for workloads where stability and predictable performance are important.
Connectivity
The Z840 provides a comprehensive range of connectivity for professional peripherals, displays, storage devices, and networking equipment. Configuration-dependent interfaces include USB, audio, Ethernet, display connections, and professional expansion interfaces.
Operating System Support
HP offered the Z840 with several operating-system configurations, including Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, Windows 10 Home, Windows 7 Professional through downgrade rights, and Linux installation options.
Ideal Applications
The HP Z840 is well suited for:
- CAD and engineering
- Architecture and construction design
- 3D modeling and rendering
- Animation and visual effects
- Video production
- Scientific computing
- Medical imaging
- Data analysis
- Simulation
- Virtualization
- Professional graphics
- Software development
- High-performance workstation applications
