HP Z800 Hardware Setup Guide

NOTE These values can fluctuate if uncertified hardware components or third party applications are added to
your system. The use of uncertified hardware components or third party applications is not supported. Please
consult the manufacturer's documentation for standardized minimum and maximum values.
The following table summarizes the peak (at startup) power consumed by the HP Z800 system and the heat
it generates under the maximum processing load produced by a Visual Effects, Finishing, or Colour Grading
application. For more detailed specifications, including noise output, see the documentation provided by
the manufacturer.

You must be able to meet the startup power requirement and have a climate control system with the capacity
to maintain the temperature of these components under the maximum processing load. The following table
shows standard conversion benchmarks and an example of how they can be used to determine climate
control requirements.
ExampleUnit Conversion
