NOTE These values can fluctuate if uncertified hardware components or third party applications are added to
your system. The use of uncertified hardware components or third party applications is not supported. Please
consult the manufacturer's documentation for standardized minimum and maximum values.
The following table summarizes the peak (at startup) power consumed by the HP xw8600 system and the
heat it generates under the maximum processing load produced by your Visual Effects, Finishing, and Colour
Grading application. For detailed specifications, including noise output, see the documentation provided
by the manufacturer.
