The HP DisplayPort 2.1 Flex IO v3 (manufacturer part number B6BS8AA) is a modular interface module for desktop computers, serving as an extension for display connections. It enables flexible connection of an additional display via the DisplayPort standard and is specifically designed for HP desktop systems featuring a FLEX IO slot. The module is compatible with a range of HP EliteDesk and ProDesk models, including the G1i and G2i series, encompassing Tower, SFF, and Mini form factors. It is used as a single module, with only one FLEX IO module being active in the system at a time.
Applications
This module extends connection options for workstations that already have integrated video outputs but require additional monitors or flexible configurations. It is particularly suitable for office environments where the number of connected monitors varies depending on the task. Support for DisplayPort 2.1 enables high image quality and data transfer rates, which is beneficial for professional applications such as graphic design, video editing, or multi-monitor setups.
Features and Specifications in Detail
The HP DisplayPort 2.1 Flex IO v3 provides a DisplayPort interface supporting up to DisplayPort 2.1 specification. This includes transmission of high-resolution video signals at high refresh rates. The DisplayPort++ technology allows the use of multiple displays via a single connection, with the exact configuration depending on the graphics card and operating system. The module is designed as a replaceable component, allowing it to be swapped with other FLEX IO modules such as HDMI, VGA, or USB as needed.
Technical Explanation
The FLEX IO interface is a modular system that plugs into a dedicated slot in the computer. The connection is made via an international interface, enabling power supply and data transmission through a single cable. The module itself weighs 10.6 g and measures 1.65 cm (height) × 4.15 cm (width) × 3.86 cm (depth). Its low profile and lightweight design allow for compact integration into systems. Power is supplied through the main system, eliminating the need for additional power sources.
Compatibility and Accessories
The module is intended for a variety of HP desktop systems, including HP EliteDesk 8 Tower G1i, SFF G1i, Mini G1i and G1a, as well as HP ProDesk 4 Tower G1i, SFF G1i, and Mini G1i. It is also compatible with G2a and G2i models in the EliteDesk and ProDesk series. Compatibility is limited to the respective FLEX IO slots integrated into the mentioned systems. It is not compatible with other manufacturers or models that do not support the FLEX IO module system.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by inserting the module into the FLEX IO slot in the computer. Mounting requires no additional tools or screws, as the module mechanically fits into the slot. The connection is secured by the physical fit.
Operational Advantages
Using the HP DisplayPort 2.1 Flex IO v3 allows flexible adjustment of the computer’s connection options without requiring additional external adapters or cables. The modularity enables adaptation to changing work requirements. Support for DisplayPort 2.1 ensures high image quality and a stable connection, which is important for professional applications. The module is lightweight and compact, facilitating integration into existing systems.
