HP Inc 8D0Q8AA HP Z4 Rack RSC ARM Bracket

HP Inc 8D0Q8AA Z4 Rack RSC ARM Bracket

Overview

The HP 8D0Q8AA is a rack-mount RSC (Riser Card) arm bracket designed for the HP Z4 workstation platform. It provides the mechanical support structure needed to secure the riser card assembly when the Z4 is deployed in a rack enclosure rather than in a standard tower orientation — a common configuration in dense compute deployments, media production racks, and surveillance infrastructure rooms where floor or desk space is constrained. If you're transitioning a Z4 from tower to rack, this bracket is the hardware-path component that makes the riser card compatible with the rack chassis geometry.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for the HP Inc Z4 workstation series in rack configuration. This bracket is matched to the Z4 platform's RSC arm mounting geometry — verify your Z4 variant and rack conversion kit against HP's Z4 workstation accessories documentation before ordering, as the Z4 product line spans multiple generations with differing internal layouts. It is not a universal riser bracket and should not be assumed compatible with other Z-series models (Z2, Z6, Z8) without explicit HP confirmation.

Installation Notes

Installation is mechanical — no firmware or driver component. The bracket interfaces with the Z4's internal RSC arm mount points and the rack conversion chassis. Confirm the bracket orientation and screw pattern against your specific rack conversion kit. Weight is 1.00 lb, consistent with a stamped-steel or cast bracket; handle with standard ESD precautions when working near the riser card assembly. No special tooling is specified beyond standard Torx or Phillips drivers typical for HP Z-series service procedures.
