Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the purpose of the Neural Processing Unit (NPU)?
The NPU, or Intel AI Boost, is designed to accelerate artificial intelligence and machine learning tasks efficiently, reducing the load on the CPU and improving performance for AI-powered applications.
Does this workstation include Wi-Fi?
No, this model does not come with built-in Wi-Fi. You will need to use a wired Ethernet connection or add a compatible Wi-Fi adapter or expansion card.
Can I upgrade the RAM or Storage?
Yes, the RAM can be upgraded up to 128 GB via its 2x SO-DIMM slots. The 1 TB SSD can also be replaced or potentially supplemented if there are additional M.2 slots available, depending on the specific internal configuration.
What is the difference between the Intel Graphics and the NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada?
The Intel Graphics are integrated into the processor and suitable for basic display output and light tasks. The NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada is a powerful discrete graphics card designed for demanding professional workloads like 3D rendering, CAD, and AI, offering significantly higher performance.
Is this workstation suitable for gaming?
While it has a capable NVIDIA GPU, this workstation is primarily designed and optimized for professional productivity tasks, not gaming. Gaming performance may vary and is not the primary focus.
What are the dimensions of the workstation?
The workstation has a Small Form Factor (SFF) with dimensions of 87 mm (width) x 223 mm (depth) x 202 mm (height).
What operating system is included?
The workstation comes with Windows 11 Pro (64-bit) pre-installed.
Troubleshooting
Workstation does not power on
Verify the power cable is securely connected to both the workstation and the wall outlet. Check if the power outlet is functional by plugging in another device. Ensure the power switch on the back of the PSU is in the 'on' position.
Poor performance or system slowdowns
Close unnecessary applications running in the background. Ensure the workstation is not overheating; check that vents are clear. Monitor task manager for resource-hungry processes. Consider if the workload exceeds the system's specifications.
Display is blank or not showing an image
Confirm the monitor cable is securely connected to both the workstation's graphics output (NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada ports are preferred) and the monitor. Try a different display cable or monitor to rule out faulty hardware.
USB devices not recognized
Try plugging the device into a different USB port. Ensure the necessary drivers for the USB device are installed on Windows 11 Pro. Restart the workstation.
Network connection issues
Verify the Ethernet cable is securely connected to the workstation and the network source. Check the network status in Windows 11 Pro and ensure network adapter drivers are up to date.
