Desktop workstation Captiva CAPTIVA 99687 PC/workstation — no OS, on-board and discrete graphics not available

Captiva CAPTIVA 99687 is a desktop workstation supplied without an operating system and without on-board or discrete graphics models. The unit is intended as a base system for professional or office workflows where the user installs a chosen OS and, if required, adds a compatible graphics card or connects to an external GPU. Its design focuses on flexibility for custom configuration and integration into existing IT environments.

Advantages

This Captiva workstation provides a blank, configurable platform that allows IT specialists and system builders to select the operating system and graphics solution appropriate to their needs. Supplied without preinstalled software or graphics hardware, it reduces preconfiguration constraints and is suitable for environments with strict software standards or custom driver requirements. The absence of an included OS and graphics also simplifies inventory management for organizations that standardize on specific images or GPU models.

Suitable for

• Custom workstation builds where specific OS images and GPU choices are required
• Integration into corporate or lab environments with standardized software deployment
• Use as a base system for professional applications that rely on external or add-in graphics solutions
• IT departments that install and manage operating systems and drivers centrally

Key specifications

• Form factor: Desktop workstation chassis designed for internal expansion and add-in cards
• Operating system: Supplied without an operating system preinstalled
• Graphics: No on-board graphics available; no discrete graphics installed—space and slots available for user-supplied GPU
• Expandability: Designed to accept user-installed components such as graphics cards, additional storage drives and memory modules
• Connectivity: Standard internal and external ports expected on a workstation-class desktop (expandable via add-on cards)
• Target use: Professional and office workflows, system integration and custom configurations

How to use

Install the desired operating system using your preferred installation media or corporate imaging tools. If graphics acceleration is required, add a compatible discrete graphics card into an available expansion slot or connect an external GPU through a supported interface; ensure the chosen GPU is compatible with the installed OS and power supply capacity. Install chipset and peripheral drivers provided by component manufacturers, then apply any corporate configuration or security policies. For storage or memory upgrades, power down the system and follow standard electrostatic discharge precautions when installing components.

Usage recommendations

Verify power supply capacity and cooling capability before installing high-performance graphics cards. Use vendor-supplied drivers and firmware updates for motherboard and add-in components to maintain stability. When deploying multiple units in an IT environment, prepare an image that includes required drivers and management agents to streamline setup and updates.
