Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to create a RAID 1 array using 2x10 TB hard drives on a Z230 workstation with built-in RAID controller.
I have now a RAID 1 array with 2x4 TB hard drives, but I don't know if there is an upper limit to the drive storage capacity.
Thank you!
Regards.
How can C states (C1E, C3 and C6) be disabled in the BIOS of our Z440 workstations? There are no options in the HP BIOS.
I have over 30 EliteDesk 800 G1 that we have to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB and enable TPM 1.2 on so that we can use Bitlocker and whole disk encryption. I configured one on my workbench with Windows 10 and updated to the latest BIOS (2.74 Rev.A). I tried to apply SP82407 to update the Infineon chip tp 4.34. When I do that, the update utility told me that TPM was not yet activated. I used TPM.msc to activate TPM and it did. I now have TPM 1.2 in the device manage. So I ran the update utility again and it asked me for a owner password. I tried taking ownership with TPM.msc and it seems to reset TPM, but I still do not get ownership. What am I missing?
Hi,
I'm using HP Device Manager 4.7 SP7. I have my clients happily appearing under my HPDM gateway. I'm able to run a variety of tasks on these thin clients and all appears to be OK.
I tried to use the template '_Capture Image' and followed the instructions to capture one of my HP T630 Win10 IoT devices.
At first, all appeared OK, the thin client restarted and I was presented with a HP screen and a % as it captured an image. Then the T630 restarted and just attempts to PXE boot (which it cant do) and is left on a screen saying 'No boot disk has been detected or the disk has failed'.
The HPDM has a status of these captures as 'transferring' and never seems to reach a 'failed' status.
Does anybody have any ideas what is going on?
I'm using my PC in a (home) workgroup. I don't work in a company network, nor do I use remote management. In UEFI I see a lot of options, like AMT, PCIe/PCI SERR#, Enable MS UEFI CA key, ...
I can't figure out what's the settings do or what's the effect of changing or keeping them.
Please help (pointing to) explanation or optimal settings.
There have been questions on this forum about where is the Crisis Recovery Jumper for the Z620 Z420 and Z820 workstations. First.... what is it? It is a jumper that if shifted leftward from its default position it will initiate a semiautomated dump of a BIOS that is corrupted and allow last-gasp load of a non-corrupted BIOS that may allow a workstation to finally come back from a fatal condition. This is clearly a very advanced procedure as you'll see. Don't forget to move the jumper back to its default position when done. My advice is to ignore this post unless you really have a dead end condition for your workstation.
This jumper exists but is little documented in the case of the Z820 and not documented at all in the Service Manual for the Z420 and the Z620. I just have salvaged a bricked Z620 that I was asked to give a last try at before it went into the dumpster, and my old notes came in handy. The post below is the best I can offer at this time, and it is hard to justify doing this procedure over and over to get it more precise. Here it is:
Crisis Recovery Jumper Use in ZX20 Workstations – SDH
Excellent post, from Dan_WGBU, our favorite HP engineer: LINK
This post gives details from Ashleight-Paul on exactly how to do the process: LINK
This post details the guy doing the process incorrectly and failing: LINK
Do a Google search for “669531–005” to find the latest ZX20 technical and service manual, and download that. Version 5, the last one published, is the one you want, and this link works: LINK
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04205252
Z420 & Z620: The designator is E15 = ROM bootblock recovery header = “E15” printed on motherboard at top left of jumper. The position is not shown with a number or a marker on the service manual's MB diagram but it truly exists, and the Z820's MB diagram's #39 shows where it is also located on the Z420 and Z620 (which have almost identical motherboards and use the exact same BIOS).
Z220 & Z820: Designator is E15 = BIOS Crisis recovery header/jumper = “JP15” or “E15” printed on motherboard. It is #29 on Z220 SFF motherboard’s diagram; #34 on the Z220 CMT MB’s diagram; and #39 on the Z820 MB’s diagram.
Below are included my modifications to info from the Ashleigh-Paul post linked above: Please note that my experience with this process was somewhat different, but the basics are here, and this did save the Z620 I was asked to try to salvage. It would not boot into BIOS, and after a delay (with only a black screen showing) all the fans then ramped up to full speed and stayed that way. Now it is back to normal.
Again, the number of beeps likely varies with the particular problem(s) that this advanced firmware mechanism encounters, as it did in my case. This is a last ditch effort procedure so I had no hesitation to experiment until I succeeded.
Here is a picture and an engineering display of the crisis recovery jumper present on all Z420/Z620 motherboards:

I have HP Z420 workstation with Quadro K4000 card and would like to add aditional card for instance Quadro 2000 or Quadro K2000.
Could anybdody tell me if this is possible?
I know that I can't put another K4000 but have seen compatibility chart that says it is possible to use 2x 2000 series.
I would like to connect 4 screens

Hi everyone, I am running into a problem on boot with my HP Z620.
When I have hard drives larger than 4TB installed I cannot get beyond the HP logo screen, ie the system will not POST. Hitting F9 or F10 will show the messages "entering boot menu" or "entering setup" respectively but I cannot go beyond this.
If the drives are installed once I have reached the boot menu or hot-swapped once I am in the OS everything is functional. All of my data is there and a SMART test returns no problems. I have had no issues with any of my other HDDs or SSDs (all <4TB) in various formats - ExFAT, NTFS, HFS+ ...
This issue also only arises when the drives are formatted. When they are uninitialised I am able to get to the boot menu/BIOS with no problem. The BIOS also is able to recognise that they are connected and have a certain size. I have tried plugging the drives into every SATA port on the motherboard with the same problem.
Has anybody else come across this issue?
Is there a maximum HDD or Volume size that the BIOS can handle?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Augustin
Specs
HP Z620, boot block 2011
CPU - 2x Xeon e5-2690
RAM - 8x 4GB PC3 12800R
BIOS rev 3.92 (most current as of writing)
Running Windows 10n and OSX 10.12.6 (probably not important as problem arises before reaching either OS)
I got Z820 and the issue is the pc wont boot at all. I press power and fans (cpu, mem) are blowing 100% really loud. Fans on the back ramp up but gradually. There are no beeps or led flash, blue led is constantly on, there is also green led on the psu.
Ram(ecc hp branded) and cpu are good as I tested them in other PC.
I did try this https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Boot-and-Lockup/Z820-Bricked-Bios-after-Firmware-update/td-p/5718307 usb thumb drive is not blinking and if I plug the keyboard in and press numlock key there is no led on the keyboard so it tells me that there is no power to the usb ports.
There is no visual damage to the board and no bend pins on the sockets.
PC does beep 3 times and flashes 3 times red if I pull the cpu out.
Thats the confusing part for me, if the board "knows" cpu isnt in place, why doesnt it signal other issues as clearly there is an issue?
I dont want to buy new MB :/
I want to upgrade the cpu in my HP XW4600 workstation. Actually I ve a 2.5 ghz core duo quad cpu the bios data are:
786F3 v01.13.
I'm evaluating the purchase of a QX 6850 Intel extreme cpu 3 ghz or a 3360 or 3370 XEON cpu.
Does these 3 kind of cpu fit to my machine?
Thank you
Hello,
My name is John Eline and I received an email from HP concerning a Recommended Driver Alert for the
NVIDIA Quadro Professional Driver Windows 10 (x64).
When I went through the install I received an Install Error: "NVIDIA Graphics Driver Version 390.77
NVIDIA Installer Cannot Continue - This graphics driver could not find compatable graphics hardware.
The Graphics Driver I have installed in my HP Z620 Workstation is the Display Adapter "NVIDIA Quadro 4000".
Is there any way I can get this updated driver installed?
My Operating System is Microsoft Windows 10 Pro (x64)
Thanks for your time and help!
Sincerely,
John Eline
I have a HP Z440 with 2 x 8GB 2133MHz sticks of DDR4 RAM.
I purchased 2 additional sticks of 8GB 2666Mhz Crucial DDR4 RAM - the Crucial website scanned my system and stated that it was compatible.
When I install the new RAM the motherboard starts up with a red flashing light, there is a warning beep that just keeps sounding, and the system does not boot. I left it to sort itself out and my fans started to speed up to maximum, which I thought meant it was all getting too hot and so I shutdown and removed the RAM. I have tried lots of different positions, and just one stick at a time, and nothing changes.
Why is this RAM not working?
I have tried to look in BIOS (using ESC, F8, F10) to see if I need to change anything but I cannot find any settings related to RAM that I can change. The computer can cope with additional RAM.
I'm wondering if the RAM is faulty?
Z Turbo Drive Quad Pro was Fast, but Now has Poor RAID 0 Performance
I am having a peculiar problem. My PC is a Z840 dual processor machine and am running Windows 10 for Workstations. About 9 months ago I added a Z Turbo Drive Quad Pro card populated with four 512 GB SM951 modules to my Z840. I added the card in the suggested PCi slot, Slot 6, which is a PCIe3X16 slot. I used Windows Drive Manager to create 4 drive stripped (RAID 0) volume. I checked the speed of the volume using AJA system test, and it recorded a 5853 MB/SEC write score and a 5405MB/SEC read score, which is about where the card should perform. Crystal Disk Mark posted similar scores.
A couple of days ago I ran the test again and to my surprise the card was 1711 writes and 1899 reads, which is about what one SM951 should be. Crystal Disk Mark posted similar scores.
I begun to try to fix the speed decrease. I deleted the stripped volume and recreated it. The scores remained the same. I then configured the 4 drives as simple drives, and they all recorded over 2000 for reads and about 1600 for writes, which is about right. So it seems the problem is not with the drives themselves.
I looked in my bios, which is the latest, and slots Slots 6 is recorded as operating at 8G and PCLe 3x16. I only have two other cards: my graphics card and an HP Thunderbolt card. Both seem to be working fine.
I also took the card out and reseated it. This didn’t help.
I have yet to try a different PCLe 3x16 slot as one is occupied by my graphics card (Slot 2), with would probably hit the SATA cable headers if it was moved to Slot 6, and the other PCLe 3x16 slot (Slot 5) is next to my Thunderbolt card, which would result in the two cards and their fans directly facing each other.
I also have yet to do a bios downgrade.
In short, my Z Turbo Drive Quad Pro was working in RAID 0 as it should. Now its speed is that of a single SM951. As I mentioned, if the drives are set up as 4 separate (non-RAIDed) drives, they work as they should. However I don’t want to have four separate drives. I want a single 2T RAID 0 drive with 6 G transfers as it had.
When will HP be supporting updates on older machines for the Vulnerabilities of Meltdown and Spectre? I have 100 machines on the network that need updates. Whats the earliest date of machines that will be updated?

Hi Everyone!
I got a second hand HP Z620 recently. I've upgraded the gpu to GTX 1070Ti (MSI AERO Blower Style Fan) . In Furmark stress test it's stable at 84 C on base clock. How can I bring down the temp because I rather it run in lower temp because I use it for rendering and high performance needed stuff and I might need to overclock it too.
Thanks,
Sina
I have a windows 10 Pro 64bit PC and just installed.
HP 412799-001 411510-001 E200 PCIe Controller
But it is showing with an exclamation in the device manager. Anyone knows where to download windows drivers for this one?
Hi.
I want to buy this client: 1EX82EA but I not find any infos about the possibility to schedule the bios power-on. Anyone know? Thank you.
nun möchte ich auf 2 CPU aufrüsten, welche CPU's sind möglich?
Was muss ich weiterhin beachten?
Gibt es Jumper die eine 2. CPU freigeben?
Einen weiteren 2378 einbauen funktioniert nicht.
Wie erkennen ich den RAM den ich für eine Aufrüstung benötige.
