power source, and a direct (non-VPN) corporate network connection which is either cable or wireless LAN.

Some functionality of Intel Core i5 with vPro/Core i7 with vPro technology, such as Intel Active Management technology and Intel Virtualization technology, requires additional third- party software in order to run. Availability of future “virtual appliances” applications for Intel Core i5 with vPro/Core i7 with vPro technology is dependent on third- party software providers. Compatibility with future “virtual appliances” is yet to be determined.

NOTE:

NVIDIA Quadro mobile professional graphics support up to five independent displays when using an HP Advanced Docking station (sold separately). AMD FirePro™ professional graphics support up to five independent displays when using an HP Advanced Docking station (sold separately).

• Without Docking Station:
  HP ZBook 15 without the use of a Docking Station supports up to a maximum of four independent displays. These four displays are the internal panel plus three external displays connected to the VGA, the DisplayPort (DP), and the Thunderbolt™ Port connectors.
• With Docking Station*:
  The Advanced Docking Station has VGA and four digital display output connectors (two DVI and two DP). Of those four digital display connectors, only two may be used at a time (two DVI, two DP or one DP and one DVI). When used together with the HP ZBook 15, a maximum of five independent displays are supported. These five displays are the internal panel plus four external displays connected to three display outputs connectors from the standard or Advanced Docking Station*, and the Thunderbolt™ connector from the ZBook.
• DP 1.2 ‘daisy-chain’ feature:
  On HP ZBook 15, the maximum number of independent displays is increased to six with the use of DP1.2 “daisy-chain” feature. This requires Hybrid Graphics to be enabled, one monitor connected to the dock VGA, and at least one daisy chain connection on (A) System DP, (B) Docking Station DP 1, (C) Docking Station DP 2.

NOTE:

*Advanced docking station sold separately.
