Professional Performance
Built using the powerful Turing architecture, the dedicated NVIDIA T1000 graphics card delivers the performance to support professional workflows that range from video editing to 3D modeling. It features 8GB of GDDR6 RAM and supports multiple 7680 x 4320 displays at 60 Hz through its four mini DisplayPort 1.4 outputs.
Powered by a 13th Gen Intel Core i7-13700 16-Core processor and 16GB of 4800 MHz DDR5 memory, the Z2 G9 Tower delivers high performance without overheating or slowing down. For storage of your files, the 512GB SSD uses the PCIe 4.0 x4 bus, offering quick access to your data.
Built to Expand, Power to Grow
Expand this desktop workstation as your workflow evolves. Tool-less access to the system s interior allows you to customize your system to fit your needs. Enhance performance when working on complex design tasks by installing up to 128GB of 4800 MHz DDR5 ECC memory across four DIMM slots. Three M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD slots support a total of 36TB. There are also 3.5" , 2.5" , 5.25" , and slim optical drive bays available. Add RAID configurations for increased performance and reliability.
Upgrading to NVIDIA RTX A5000 and AMD Radeon Pro XP graphics accelerates intensive rendering tasks thanks to PCIe Gen 5 high-speed bandwidth support. The Z2 G9 Tower has one PCIe 5.0 x16/x16 slot, one PCIe 3.0 x4/x1 slot, one PCIe 3.0 x16/x4 slot, and one PCIe 3.0 x4/x4 slot, plus an M.2 2230 slot for Wi-Fi. A 450W power supply is installed.
If you want to add external storage drives or other peripherals, the Z2 G9 Tower features six 10 Gb/s USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, one 5 Gb/s USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port, and three 480 Mb/s USB 2.0 Type-A ports. Network connectivity is achieved using an integrated Gigabit Ethernet port. A USB keyboard, USB mouse, and power cord are included.
Built to endure intense workloads, the Z2 Tower undergoes 360,000 hours of rigorous testing, military-standard testing, and is certified for pro apps to help ensure peak performance. With HP Wolf Security for Business, it s protected below, in, and above the OS.
Keep Cool Under Any Workload
This compact system features an optimized cooling system that is designed to keep hardware components cool and quiet, even when running at max load 24/7.
- Phase Change CPU Cooling - A liquid to gas and back to liquid cycle optimizes heat transfer, delivering higher performance and reliability compared to traditional liquid cooling solutions.
- Fans & Venting - The 3D mesh air intake design reduces static air pressure to enhance airflow. At the same time, built-in sensors and algorithms detect when the system is heating up during intensive workloads and automatically activates fans to prevent overheating.
- Unthrottled Performance - Integrated thermal technologies consistently keep the processor and graphics card cool to sustain maximum performance.
- High Performance Mode - Customizable modes let you optimize your system according to your needs, ensuring peak performance for heavy workloads or providing reduced fan noise for quieter work environments.
Sustainable Design
HP Z2 systems are built using ocean-bound plastics, recycled metals, and highly efficient EPEAT Gold certified power supplies. Their packaging is also 100% sustainably sourced to help reduce the amount of hazardous materials in the environment.
Windows 11 Pro
Microsoft simplified the design and user experience with Windows 11. It has a modern, clean design with a new Start Menu position. Snap Layouts, Groups, and Desktops allow you to multitask with ease. Microsoft has also integrated some of their apps, such as Microsoft Teams. The redesigned Microsoft Store makes it easier to look for supported apps.
