Workflow for Connecting Peripherals
This chapter explains how to connect all peripherals, other than video I/O, to the HP Z800 workstation. It
begins with an overview of the backplane, identifying the adapter cards. Next it provides instructions for
connecting the basic peripherals, including the graphics monitor, keyboard, and mouse. It also includes
instructions for connecting the workstation to the house network, and Wire network. For Lustre, it additionally
provides instructions on connecting to Autodesk Control Surfaces and the Slave Renderer. For information
on connecting video I/O, see
NOTE It is recommended you connect all hardware peripherals, as instructed in this guide, before booting the
workstation for the first time. However, if you are installing or reinstalling the Linux operating system, be sure to
power-down or disconnect any direct attached storage before booting. If you do not, Linux may attempt to
reformat and install on the attached storage, destroying all stored media in the process.
