HP Inc BS7N4UT#ABA Z1 Tower G1i Workstation Desktop PC
Overview
The BS7N4UT#ABA is HP's Z1 Tower G1i SmartBuy workstation, configured with a 15th-generation Intel Core Ultra 5 235 (14 cores, up to 5.0 GHz boost), 32GB of RAM, a 1TB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD, and an NVIDIA Quadro RTX A40 discrete GPU. This is a purpose-spec'd tower targeting VMS workstations, video analytics review stations, and command-center deployments where a single machine must drive multi-monitor display walls, decode high-density H.265 streams, and support on-device AI inference simultaneously. The Intel AI Boost NPU delivers up to 13 TOPS, offloading lightweight inferencing tasks from the CPU and GPU — relevant on analytics-heavy VMS nodes running edge analytics or real-time forensic search. The 65W base / 121W turbo power envelope keeps thermals and PSU sizing manageable in rack-adjacent or under-desk installs.
Compatibility
Designed to run VMS platforms and analytic workloads that require ISV-qualified hardware. The Quadro RTX A40 GPU is qualified for professional visualization and GPU-accelerated VMS decoding on platforms including Milestone XProtect, Genetec Security Center, and Avigilon Control Center — confirm GPU decode support against your specific VMS version before deployment. The Core Ultra 5 235 with Intel Graphics also provides a secondary display path. The tower form factor (15.70 × 19.50 × 11.00 in) is designed for floor or desktop placement, not rack mounting — verify physical clearance in the installation location. Compatible with standard 24V or 120V UPS protection hardware for operator workstation continuity.
Installation Notes
Unit ships at 16.45 lb — single-person bench placement is straightforward, but factor cable management for multi-monitor configs driven by the Quadro RTX A40. The tower chassis does not include rack ears; integrate a third-party tower-to-rack shelf if rack deployment is required. Confirm PSU circuit capacity against the 121W maximum turbo draw plus connected display loads before provisioning the outlet.
