HP ZBook 15 and ZBook 17 Mobile Workstation

Discrete Graphics thermal requirements

The HP ZBook 15 and ZBook 17 products support several


NVIDIA discrete graphic MXM card options that offer
different amounts of video memory, transfer speeds, and
power ratings.
Due to the cooling requirements of the graphic cards, the
cards have different thermal designs that require various
thermal grease and thermal pad placement. This
placement is important to note during a service event.
Note: HP recommends that the thermal grease and thermal pads be replaced each time a
Graphics heat sink / fan assembly is removed from the system.
This job aid provides the details about the various thermal requirements, including the
thermal pad layout, for these products. The following topics are covered:

HP ZBook 17 graphics card heat sink / fan assemblies


The HP ZBook 17 supports the following NVIDIA discrete graphic card options at initial
launch in August 2013:
 NVIDIA Quadro K3100M (N15E-Q1) - 75W
 NVIDIA Quadro K4100M (N15E-Q3) - 100W
 NVIDIA Quadro K5100M (N15E-Q5) – 100W
 NVIDIA Quadro K610M (N15M-Q2) - 40 W

The N15E-Qn Graphics heat sink / fan assembly uses one type of design, and the N15M-
Q2 uses another. The location of the cards within the system and the removal and
replacement procedures are similar for all of these heat sink / fan assemblies. The
following graphic shows where the heat sink / fan assemblies are located in the ZBook
17 (top view):

Note: The N15E-Q3/Q5 heat sink / fan assemblies have a copper cover on the top side (as
shown in the top view graphic above); the N15E-Q1 and N15M-Q2 have an aluminum
cover.

N15M-Q2 (40W) Graphics heat sink / fan assembly


The location of the N15M-Q2 (40W) heat sink / fan assembly on the system board is the
same as the N15E-Qn heat sink / fan assemblies. The N15M-Q2 has an aluminum top
cover.

MXM card thermal pad (75W and 100W graphics cards)


An additional thermal pad is required for the 75W and 100W NVIDIA Graphics cards on
the ZBook 17. This thermal pad is applied to the system board below the MXM card, as
shown in the following graphic.

If a 75W or 100W NVIDIA Graphics MXM card is removed, you must replace the thermal
pad by applying it to the system board before replacing the MXM card.
Note: The thermal pad is much thicker than the other thermal pads used the Graphics
heat sink / fan assemblies discussed above. Be sure to use the correct thermal pad for
this location.
Tech Tip: There is one additional thermal pad on the HP ZBook 17 between the top cover
and the system board. This thermal pad should be replaced each time the system board
is removed. This pad is included with the System Board spare. The following graphic
shows the location of this thermal pad:
