HP Z420 AVID Qualified System Specification: Z420 / AVID Qualified Operating System:

Microsoft® Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Edition with Service Pack 1

Z420 Hardware Configuration: 

Supported CPU: Single Intel® 6-Core Xeon® E5-1650 Processor @ 3.2GHz 12MB cache / 1600MHz memory

Supported Video Card: NVIDIA Quadro 2000 1GB PCI-e video board

System Disk Drive – 1TB (minimum recommended) SATA-II 3Gb/s 7200RPM

Standard AVID memory configuration: 8GB (4 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 ECC memory – (Requires four 2GB DIMMs, DIMM sizes cannot be mixed sizes)

2GB memory modules must be installed in the following memory slots: CPU0-DIMM1, CPU0-DIMM3, CPU0-DIMM6, CPU0-DIMM8

Optional 16GB memory configuration: Optional AVID memory configuration: 16GB (8 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 ECC memory – (Requires eight 2GB DIMMs, DIMM sizes cannot be mixed sizes)

2GB memory modules must be installed in the following memory slots: CPU0-DIMM1, CPU0-DIMM2, CPU0-DIMM3, CPU0-DIMM4 CPU0-DIMM5, CPU0-DIMM6, CPU0-DIMM7, CPU0-DIMM8

Memory configuration constraints

– No other memory configurations are formally supported in AVID environments. Only the 8GB (4 x 2GB), and 16GB (8 x 2GB) configurations are supported. Un-balanced memory configurations which mix and match memory module sizes and locations will result in a poor performing, non-optimal operating environment.
