HP Z600 / v2/ Upgrade options

$

0

Hi,

 

I have a Z600 with boot block date of 1/7/10, which I believe makes it a C2 veriosn (later) Z600. I already have 24GB ram (4GB x 6) but only running a single E5630 CPU. I realise the second 12GB is unused. Mostly fine, but I am running more and more VM's on this machine and really want to improve the performance. 

 

I want to add a second CPU within certain costs restraints. 

 

Easy option would be to source a second E5630. These are dirt cheap on ebay, so probably the way I'll go. I know you can go up to the 3ghz hex core X5772? CPU's, but they're more than I want to spend on this particular machine. 

 

The question I have is about cooler / heatsink. Does anyone know the correct part number for the HP heatsink for this? 

 

I have read mixed stuff about two different models, and not sure which I should be

 

Also, any suggestions on where other than ebay to source these? 

 

thanks

 

 


Looking for an additional battery

Hello everybody

 

I have a slightly older notebook, an EliteBook 8740w mobile workstation.

This notebook has a connection for an additional battery.

 

Unfortunately, I have searched everywhere in vain for this additional battery and still found no one.

Now I hope that someone knows I knew I get such a battery.

 

Kind regards

VR headset goes black when pc is undocked

$

Hello,

 

We have been using the unit with a Samsung Odyssey Mixed reality headset and it has been working flawlessly when the computer is docked.

 

The problem is when I undock the unit, the headset goes black immediately and only comes back when I dock the system again.

 

The problem persists even after plugging in the external batteries.

 

I was thinking the computer did not provide enough power to drive the headset but I discovered that if I leave the computer on the dock and I disconnect the power supply (from the dock) the VR headset still works fine.

 

If the dock is disconnected from power as I mentioned above and I disconnect the HDMI cable going to the external monitor (from the dock) then the VR headset goes black again.

 

Could you please help me with this issue, the device is useless if we can’t use VR while disconnected from the dock.


HP ThinPro - confusing error message

$

I just finished deploying 16 new HP t530 thin clients running the HP ThinPro operating system (Linux). The thin clients connect to a Windows terminal server via Remote Desktop Protocol.

 

When users are required to change their password on the Windows domain, HP ThinPro returns a very confusing error message if the user enters a password that doesn't meet the minimum password requirements. The error message reads as follows:

 

Password Change Failed

WARNING: The "syslog" option is deprecated

machine 192.168.16.5 rejected the password change: Error was : Password restriction.

 

You'd think HP could make this error message more user friendly. I received several support calls because users don't understand what the error message means, especially the part that says "The syslog option is deprecated."

 

Is this something HP could address in a future software update?

SSD Samsung evo 850 into z820

$

Hi - need some help trying to install a second SSD into my z820.

 

I have an existing ssd drive (a Micron 256gb) as my boot drive,  and want to add another ssd (samsung evo 850 1tb) as my media drive. I bought the adapter so that it could be installed via the blindmate bay. I fit it, started up , and noticed the new drive didnt appear in the computer drives window( as in  plug and pray) . 

 

I  then installed Samsung Magician. It saw the new drive( but with something about wanting AHCI to be setup) but it still didnt show up elsewhere.

I tried restarting and the pc failed to boot. It appeared that the boot order was trying to boot off the blank samsung SSD and so i  rebooted with it removed, and the 256gb SSD booted up windows7( as usual).

 

I had a look at the sata cable connections on the board, and noted that HDD BAY 0 ( zero) SATA cable was connected to the SATA1  AHCI 1 connector ( SYS BRD is connected into 0), and that the other sata cables ( i gather for the bays) were as follows SAS 1> HDD BAY 1,SAS2 > HDD BAY2, SAS3> HHD BAY3 

Currently i have the 256 ssd in bay 3 ( which i believe should be in bay 0 as the boot drive) , but it boots . If i put the 1TB SSD in it refuses to boot (DOS prompt at boot says it fails becasue  its a non-system disk or drive error ) .

 

If i try the 256gb in bay 0 it fails to boot.

If i put it back into bay 3 and put the 1TB into bay 2 bios sees both drives in the mini -OROM window , but then wont boot into windows as a non system drive again.

 

I  gather i need to change something in the BIOS to correct the boot order, or ???  Anyone able to help me ?

 

Below is the config report for the 256SSD according to HP Performance advisor.

Z240 Media Card Reader -- MEDIA 3.0 header pin out

$
0
0

Hi,

 

I am having trouble attaching the HP 15-in-1 Media Card Reader G1S79AA  to my z240 motherboard.

 

This motherboard has a 2x6 2.54mm pin header labeled MEDIA 3.0, where I assume MEDIA refers to Media Card Reader and 3.0 refers to USB 3.0.  Pin 9 is missing (keyed), as would be expected of the standard  dual USB 2.0 motherboard header.

 

The G1S79AA has a standard 2x10 USB 3.0 plug  (with a finer pitch), but comes with an adapter cable to a 2x5 2.54 header, where pin 9 is keyed.

 

Is this supposed to work?  Do I need to jumper the final row somehow as a cable detect?  Do I need to activate anything in the BIOS/UEFI?


Note that F4N90AA looks identical, has the same documentation, and includes a similar adapter cable.  Should I be using this instead?

 

A schematic of the pin-out of the board and possibly of the adapter cable would be helpful!

 

Thank you.

HP Z420 with Xeon E5-1650 (v1) - BIOS sees only 32GB out of total 64GB of RAM

$
0
0

Hi all,

 

I'm new to this forum (but long-time reader). I've recently bought an HP Z420 tower from E-bay, which came with a 600W PSU version, latest system BIOS, Xeon E5-1650 (v1) CPU and 64GB of RAM installed as 8 x 8GB modules, and taking up all the 8 slots from the motherboard: DIMM 1..4 towards the front of PC + DIMM 5..8 towards the rear of PC. The rear ones have that RAM cover + fan mounted on top.

 

All the 8 x 8GB dimm modules are PC3-10600R (aka DDR 3-1333 Mhz ECC, Unbuffered and Registered) type of RAM. They all have the same HP part/number.

 

But the BIOS sees only 32GB out of the 64GB total. Only the DIMM5...8 banks show memory present. No matter what combination I am trying (i.e. 1 x 8GB placed into DIMM 8 and 1 x 8GB placed into DIMM 1) the DIMM1...4 never seess any ram present. I have also interchanged the 4 x 8GB dimms from first region with the 4 from rear region. Same effect (and hinting that all 8 RAM chips are not defective).

 

Any ideea as to what's causing this? The E5-1650 should have no issue in accepting 64GB.

Could it be that the HP Z420 mobo is picky with PC3-10600R ram modules and wants instead PC3-12800 ??

Or could it be a bent pin in the LGA2011 socket?

 

If I install win7 x64, both the HP diag tool and Microsoft System Information tools both show 32GB only.

The HP Diag tool passes any RAM or CPU tests ok.

 

It's higly improbable for 1 LGA2011 pin to get bent with the CPU and heatsink mounted on, isn't it? So it shouldn't be the transport/shipping moving something around, is it?

 

Also, some HP manuals mention about some "RAM front duct" plastic HP part that should always be mounted in either a 4 x 8GB or 8 x 8GB combination. That piece is missing. Could it be that there is some mechanical contact / switch on the mobo near the DIMM1...4 region and which the bios senses that it has no cover present? But wouldn't BIOS be more explicit with this i.e. a warning message?

 

I have also pushed the CMOS little reset button for 1 minute - thus bios reporting CMOS settings restored to default (even though the date + time was still kept current). Hoping that the cmos/bios would "un-learn" of some previous "ram training". To no effect.

 

Many thanks in advance for your assistance. Not sure what to do at this stage? Should I return it? I've got it yesterday.

HP ProDesk 600 SFF m.2 SSD (Sandisk) is not detected

$

It is an HP ProDesk 600 G3 SFF, model: [removed].

 

Bought with a normal SSD. Now the SSD was expanded and a M.2 SSD installed, So a Sandisk X400 SSD 256GB M.2 2280th

 

Unfortunately, this M.2 is not detected in the BIOS or W10 setup as a disk?

 

Test this M.2 inserted into an SSD adapter, here it is recognized properly!

 

Have read that a so-called. NVM driver is needed? Already had contact with the Sandisk support, here I got the info that no Treinber is needed ....?

 

Is there a general INTEL NVM driver which then detects the M.2 during installation?

 

Why is this not displayed to me in the BIOS, or which BIOS settings I have to choose, have tried a lot around, but nothing works, Bios is by the way the latest version.
