Installing PCI/PCIe devices

This section describes how to install a PCI or PCIe card in the workstation. To increase the
performance and functionality of your system, PCI/PCIe devices such as graphics cards or audio
cards can be installed in the expansion card slots on the workstation.

Expansion card slot identification

The following table describes the expansion card slots in the HP Z Workstation series.

CPU, and memory) must not exceed the maximum rating of the system power supply.
NOTE: The x1, x4, x8, and x16 designators describe the mechanical length of the slot. The number
in parentheses lists the number of electrical PCIe lanes routed to the expansion slot. For example,
x16(8) means that the expansion slot is mechanically a x16 length connector, with eight PCIe lanes
connected.
