About This Product
Overview
The HP Z420 Workstation Barebone Tower is a professional workstation chassis built for users who want a solid starting point for a custom system. With support for Intel Xeon E5-1600 and E5-2600 v1/v2 processors, it is suited to builds that need a dependable platform for business, technical, or production-oriented workloads. The tower design offers a familiar workstation layout with room for expansion, making it a practical choice for IT teams, system builders, and organizations assembling purpose-built desktops. Because this is a barebone configuration, it does not include a CPU, RAM, or storage, allowing the buyer to select compatible components based on the intended use case. That flexibility can be valuable when matching hardware to specific performance needs or when reusing existing parts in a new build.
Performance & Scalability
Built around the LGA2011 socket and DDR3 ECC Registered memory support, the Z420 platform is designed to handle workstation-class components and stable operation. The combination of Xeon processor compatibility and ECC Registered memory support makes it a strong foundation for environments where reliability and consistent performance matter. PCIe 3.0 expansion slots provide room for add-in cards, which can be useful for graphics, storage, or other specialized hardware depending on the build requirements. This makes the system adaptable for a range of workstation tasks, from general productivity to more demanding professional applications. Since the chassis is sold without core components, it gives integrators and resellers the freedom to scale the configuration to the exact level needed without paying for parts that may not be required.
Storage Flexibility
The HP Z420 supports both SATA and SAS storage, giving builders more options when planning a workstation configuration. SATA support is useful for standard desktop drives and SSDs, while SAS compatibility can be beneficial in setups that require enterprise-oriented storage choices. This flexibility makes it easier to tailor the system for capacity, speed, or workflow preferences. Whether the goal is to build a general-purpose workstation or a more specialized system with multiple drives, the chassis provides a versatile base for storage planning. For buyers working with existing hardware inventories, the ability to support different storage types can simplify integration and help maximize component reuse.
Why Choose This Product?
The HP Z420 Workstation Barebone Tower is a sensible option for anyone looking for a professional workstation platform with room to customize. It combines Xeon processor support, ECC Registered memory compatibility, PCIe 3.0 expansion, and SATA/SAS storage support in a tower chassis that is well suited to custom builds. Because it is offered as a barebone unit, it is especially useful for users who already have compatible parts or want to choose each component individually. For IT departments, refurbishers, and workstation builders, this can help create a configuration that is aligned with budget, performance goals, and hardware availability. The result is a flexible workstation base designed for practical deployment and long-term use.

Why Buy a Refurbished Products?
Refurbished enterprise servers offer enterprise-grade performance at a fraction of the new price.
Up to 70% Cost Savings
Refurbished R650xs units deliver identical hardware capability to new, at significantly lower upfront cost — freeing budget for CPUs, RAM, and storage.
Fully Tested & Verified
Every unit undergoes comprehensive hardware diagnostics before dispatch. POST tests, burn-in, memory checks, and power supply verification are standard.
Immediate Availability
Unlike new enterprise servers with lead times of weeks or months, refurbished stock is ready to ship within 24 hours of ordering.
Same Performance
The hardware inside the R650xs performs identically whether purchased new or refurbished. The 3rd Gen Xeon platform, PCIe Gen4, and iDRAC9 are unchanged.
