Dual Intel® Quad-Core Xeon® 5570 Processors
@ 2.93GHz 8MB cache / 1333MHz memory
NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800 1.5GB PCI-e video board
320GB SATA-II 3Gb/s 7200RPM Hard Disk Drive
Standard AVID Memory Configuration: 6GB (6 x 1GB) DDR3 1333 ECC
(Requires six 1GB DIMMs, DIMM sizes cannot be mixed sizes)
1GB memory modules must be installed in the following memory slots:
CPU0-DIMM1, CPU0-DIMM3, CPU0-DIMM5
CPU1-DIMM1, CPU1-DIMM3, CPU1-DIMM5
Optional 12GB Memory Configuration
Optional AVID memory configuration: 12GB (6 x 2GB) DDR3 1333 ECC
(Requires six 2GB DIMMs, DIMM sizes cannot be mixed sizes)
2GB memory modules must be installed in the following memory slots:
CPU0-DIMM1, CPU0-DIMM3, CPU0-DIMM5

Memory Configuration Constraints
No other memory configurations are allowed in AVID environments. Only the 6GB
(6 x 1GB) and 12GB (6 x 2GB) configurations are supported. Mixing memory module
sizes and locations will result in a poor performing, non-optimal operating
environment.

Avid DS Qualified NVIDIA Driver
NVIDIA driver 182.65 is the AVID DS qualified driver for support of the new FX4800
graphics card. The previously qualified 169.55 NVIDIA driver released with previous
versions of Avid DS application does not support the new generation FX4800 video
card.
NVIDIA FX 4800 Monitor Connectivity
The new generation NVIDIA FX 4800 graphics card has a single DVI port and two
Display-Port ports.
The HP Z800 includes one Display-Port-to-DVI adapter.
For Dual Monitor Connectivity
Use the DVI port and one Display-Port (Display-Port connection can be native
display-port to monitor via display-port connection, or use the display-port-to-
DVI-adapter supplied with the system to connect to a native DVI monitor).
-OR-
Use two Display-Ports (Requires monitors with native display-port connections,
two display-port to DVI adapters cannot be used when using dual display-port
connections).
Note: Currently, only qualified adapter for use with Avid DS is the Display-port to
DVI adapter shipped with the Avid DS HP Z800 workstation. Check the Avid
DS support site for any newly qualified adapters.
Atto UL5D BIOS Configuration
When an ATTO UL5D PCI-E u320 SCSI controller is installed in slot #7, the UL5D
BIOS must be disabled or the following warning may be reported during system
boot:
110 – Out of memory space for option ROMs.
The option ROM for the following device was unable to
run due to memory constraints. If you choose to
continue, one or more PCI devices may not work properly
Also the UL5D BIOS must be disabled for proper operation when connected to an
AVID VideoRAID RTR U320 SCSI.
To disable the UL5D BIOS and eliminate the above warning, perform the following:
1. Reboot the system
2. Press “ESC” to clear the HP splash screen
3. Press Ctrl-Z when the following Atto UL5D BIOS message prompts
*********************************************
** ATTO ExpressPCI ™ Version 2.10 **
***** Press [Ctrl + Z] for Setup Utility *****
4. Select 1 - Adapter menu
5. Select 2 - Configure Adapter Channels
6. Select Host Adapter BIOS
7. Select “Disabled” using [Page Up] / [Page Down]
8. Press “ESC”
9. Press “ESC”
10. Select 4 – Save Parameters and Exit
SR SAS Storage Connectivity:
The Z800 can support two external AVID SR SAS local storage chassis.
Serial Port Deck Control:
The HP Z800 workstation does have an embedded serial port. The embedded serial-
port has been qualified by Avid and will maintain frame accuracy in Avid
environments. A USB-to-serial-port adapter is not required unless the user requires
simultaneous connection to two decks via a serial port. If the user requires
simultaneous connection to two decks via serial port, the deck control for the 2nd
serial port must be established via a Keyspan (Tripp-Lite) Model USA-19HS USB-to-
serial-port adapter. The 19HS USB-to-serial-port adapter has been qualified by Avid
and will maintain frame accuracy in Avid environments.
