About This Product
Overview
The HP Z820 Dual CPU Workstation Barebone Tower is built for users who need a flexible foundation for a professional workstation build. As a tower chassis with dual LGA2011 sockets, it is designed to support Intel Xeon E5-2600 v1 and v2 processors, making it suitable for configurations that require more than a single CPU platform. The barebone format gives system builders a practical starting point for creating a custom workstation around their own processor, memory, and storage choices. With support for DDR3 ECC Registered memory, this platform is aimed at workloads where stability and reliability are important. It is a strong fit for environments that need a configurable workstation chassis rather than a fully assembled system, and it can be adapted to a range of professional use cases depending on the installed components.
Performance & Scalability
This workstation chassis is designed to accommodate dual CPU configurations, which can be beneficial for demanding multitasking, compute-heavy applications, and professional workflows that take advantage of additional processor resources. The dual-socket LGA2011 design provides a solid base for Xeon E5-2600 v1 and v2 processors, while PCIe 3.0 expansion slots allow for add-in cards to support specialized requirements. Because the system is supplied without CPU, RAM, or storage, it offers flexibility for builders who want to match performance levels to a specific project or deployment. DDR3 ECC Registered memory support adds another layer of suitability for business and technical environments where data integrity and system consistency matter. This makes the HP Z820 a scalable platform for users who want to build a workstation around their preferred balance of processing power, memory capacity, and expansion options.
Storage Flexibility
The HP Z820 workstation chassis supports both SATA and SAS storage, giving builders a useful range of drive options when planning a custom system. This flexibility can help when configuring a workstation for general productivity, data handling, or storage-intensive tasks that benefit from SAS compatibility. Since the unit is a barebone tower, storage can be selected to match the intended workload and performance needs. Whether the goal is to build a system with standard SATA drives or to integrate SAS-based storage for a more specialized setup, the chassis provides a foundation that can be tailored to the application. For IT teams and system integrators, this makes it easier to align the storage configuration with existing parts, internal standards, or upgrade plans.
Why Choose This Product?
The HP Z820 Dual CPU Workstation Barebone Tower is a practical choice for buyers who need a professional workstation chassis with dual processor support and broad component compatibility. It is especially useful for rebuilds, custom deployments, and parts-based workstation projects where the chassis and platform matter as much as the installed hardware. Support for DDR3 ECC Registered memory, PCIe 3.0 expansion, and SATA/SAS storage gives it the versatility needed for many business and technical environments. Because it is sold without CPU, RAM, or storage, it allows you to reuse compatible components or source parts based on your exact requirements. For organizations and technicians looking for a dependable dual-socket workstation base, the HP Z820 offers a straightforward path to a customized system build.

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.
