Technical FAQ

Q: Can I replace the H926046B070T with a standard HP Z420 workstation?
A: No. The H926046B070T includes Foxboro-certified BIOS settings, proprietary drivers, and communication cards required for integration with FBMs and Control Processors. A standard PC will not function correctly in the DCS.

Q: How does the integrated version enhance system security?
A: The OS is hardened by disabling unnecessary services and ports, protecting the workstation against cyber threats and ensuring compliance with industrial control network standards.
