How many memory slots are available on the HP Z620 Workstation with two CPUs?

The correct answer is D. 12. Option D (12) is correct because the HP Z620 Workstation has 6 DIMM slots per processor, so installing a second CPU activates the second memory bank, bringing the total to 6 × 2 = 12 available slots. Options A (4) and B (6) represent the slot count for a single-CPU…

Explanation

Option D (12) is correct because the HP Z620 Workstation has 6 DIMM slots per processor, so installing a second CPU activates the second memory bank, bringing the total to 6 × 2 = 12 available slots. Options A (4) and B (6) represent the slot count for a single-CPU configuration - 4 is a common misremembering, while 6 is the per-CPU count, not the total. Option C (8) is a plausible distractor because 8-slot configurations appear in other HP Z-series workstations (like the Z820), making it easy to confuse models.

Memory tip: Think "Z620 with 2 CPUs = 6 × 2 = 12" - the 6 is the per-socket count, and the 2 mirrors the dual-CPU setup. If you only have one CPU, half the slots are unavailable, so always tie the slot count to the CPU count on this model.
