Z2 SFF G4
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Has anyone customized the Z2 SFF G4 and included the Thunderbolt 3 PCIe card in the build?  It would have to be a low profile card, right?  I want to buy that card but can't find the part number.  Is there any way to buy it without buying a new workstation?

The HP Thunderbolt 3 PCIe 3-port I/O Card needs/uses the Utilizes the optional Flex IO port internal connection for video output.

 

the flex-io module supports:

HP Flex IO module (VGA)
HP Flex IO module (HDMI)
HP Flex IO module (DP)
HP Flex IO module (USB-C)
HP Flex IO module (1 GbE LAN)
 
Flex IO module (supports VGA/HDMI/DisplayPort™/2nd RJ-45/ USB-C 3.1 Gen2 Charging Port with Alt mode/Thunderbolt™
3.0) (Thunderbolt™ requires PCIe x4 Add-In card)
 
so if you do not have the flex-io option Tbolt board and the TBolt flex io module then the TBolt option is a no go as both are needed according to HP
 
 
here's the kit that includes the TBolt card and the TBolt flex-io card

Thank you for your reply.  One more question, please: You referred to a 3-port card but the link to B&H took me to a 1-port card.  Where could I find the 3-port card or its part number?

as far as i am aware, this is the only TBolt card available for your model system i think you are confusing the Thunderbolt 3.0 spec with number of ports

 

the TBolt port is a daisy chained port so you can have numerous devices connected

 

also sellers sometimes use a different/wrong picture for a product
