HP Inc BN5N2UT#ABA Z2 SFF G1i Workstation Desktop PC
Overview
The BN5N2UT#ABA is HP's SmartBuy-configured Z2 Small Form Factor G1i workstation, built around the Intel Core Ultra 7 265 — a 20-core (8P+12E), 15th-generation processor with a 5.3 GHz max boost — in a compact chassis designed for space-constrained professional environments where workstation-class compute needs to fit on or under a desk. The integrated Intel AI Boost NPU delivers up to 13 TOPS of dedicated AI inference offload, supplemented by the processor's total 33 TOPS platform performance, making this a practical choice for AI-assisted workflows such as video analytics post-processing, VMS forensic search, or GPU-free inferencing at the edge. Ships with 32GB of system memory, a 1TB M.2 PCIe NVMe 2280 TLC SSD (4x4 lanes), and Windows 11 Pro 64-bit — ready to provision out of the box. The 3/3/3 service designation (3-year parts, 3-year labor, 3-year on-site) is included per HP SmartBuy terms.
Compatibility
Designed to run HP-qualified professional software stacks including VMS platforms, CAD, and AI-assisted security applications. The LGA 1851 (Socket V1) processor platform supports Intel Core Ultra Series 2 upgrade paths within the Z2 SFF G1i chassis family. Pairs with standard PCIe and M.2 expansion options native to the HP Z2 SFF G1i platform. Confirm GPU and memory upgrade compatibility against HP's Z2 SFF G1i configurator before ordering expansion hardware — the SFF chassis imposes physical length and TDP constraints on add-in cards.
Installation Notes
Chassis dimensions are 16.00 × 20.00 × 8.00 in (L × W × H); verify rack shelf or under-desk clearance before deployment. Unit weight is 13.20 lb — factor this into any wall-mount or shelf-mount planning. The 65W processor base power (up to 182W max turbo) requires a reliable, properly rated circuit; confirm your UPS or PDU capacity accommodates peak draw under sustained AI or compute loads.
