NOTE:
The DP and VGA ports are not supported when the system is configured with Intel Xeon E3-12x0 v2 processors. Also, if a discrete graphics card
is installed, these ports are disabled by default.
NOTE:
Simultaneous usage of integrated Intel HD graphics and discrete graphics cards (in order to drive more than two displays) can be enabled using
the Computer (F10) Setup Utility. However, HP recommends using only discrete graphics cards when attaching three or more displays.

Workstation specifications
HP Z220 SFF
Processor
technology
Intel® Series C216 chipset with:
●Support for the Intel® Xeon® Processor E3 v2 Family, third generation Intel Core
(TM)
processors
up to 95W, or Pentium G640
●Integrated 2-channel memory controller
●Microarchitecture improvements
●Integrated graphics (some models)
●Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) to increase floating point performance
●Intel DMI2 interface connecting the processor to the I/O controller
Power supply
●240W, 90% efficient, 80 PLUS Gold, compatible with ENERGY STAR Version 5 requirements
●Supports European Union ERP Lot 6 tier2 power limit of less than 0.5W in off mode
Memory
technology
●Dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) based on DDR3 1600MHz technology
●Supports error checking and correcting (ECC) and non-ECC DIMMs
●Two direct-attach memory channels enable low-latency access and fast data transfer for improved
performance
●Up to 32 GB system memory (8 GB DIMMs)
●1600 MHz 2, 4, 8 GB ECC unbuffered DIMM
●1600 MHz 2, 4, 8 GB non ECC unbuffered DIMM
