Z420 600 W power supply

Exact platform-and-assembly record for HP 636347-001 used in the HP Z420 Tower workstation. Confirm the entire label, spare/FRU number and revision: similar host names can ship with electrically different supplies.

SAFETY: Never open a PSU or probe its interior. Hazardous voltage can remain after unplugging. Disconnect mains before service and replace the complete unit unless service is performed by a qualified technician.

Recorded model specifications

Exact model / FRUHP assembly identifier 636347-001; verify all suffixes, spare number, revision and nameplate on the unit.
Host-system compatibilityHP Z420 Tower workstation only when the system-board revision, machine type, chassis form and documented service configuration match. This is not a generic replacement PSU.
Form and rated outputOEM proprietary internal supply; rated total output class: 600 W. Per-rail/combined limits and continuous-load derating must be checked on the exact PSU label/service documentation.
AC input100–240 V AC, 8.0–4.0 A, 50/60 Hz; verify the label for the assembly revision.
DC output rails+12 V outputs plus +5 V, +3.3 V, −12 V and +5 V standby where specified on the exact label; 600 W total class. Confirm rail groups and combined limits before selecting CPU/GPU loads.
Connectors / pinout warningHP workstation board/CPU/GPU harnesses and sense wiring are platform-specific; not interchangeable with standard ATX leads. A physically fitting plug does not prove electrical compatibility; never reuse unrelated modular cables or rely on an unverified adapter.
Mechanical envelopeApprox. 140 × 86 × 150 mm (width × height × depth); confirm Z420 mounting and airflow orientation. Use the platform manual to check tabs, screws, airflow direction, fan clearance and cable reach; do not force-fit.
Electrical/revision caveatThe PSU rating label controls rail-current, combined-power, standby, protection and input details for the exact unit. A host service manual establishes supported platform replacement; it does not make the assembly an ATX standard supply.

Service and compatibility notes

  • Use only the documented HP Z420 Tower workstation replacement assembly or a manufacturer-authorized superseding part number verified against the actual machine type.
  • Confirm keyed motherboard/CPU/GPU connectors and pin assignments from the HP service manual before replacement. Do not assume ATX, EPS or PCIe pinouts from connector shape.
  • Dimensions are nominal identification guidance. Confirm the exact part's labels, mounting geometry, vents and harness orientation before purchase or installation.
  • Follow the OEM manual's shutdown, mains-disconnect and chassis service steps. Never open or electrically probe the PSU.
