• HP 8100 Elite SFF: video on-board Elite 8100 SFF does not work?

  I have two HP 8100 Elite SFFs that give me 6 beeps error (video card number) when the card is not present, but works very well with it in. My question is, is anyway to re - activate the video embedded on these units? I also bought two replacement motherboards and still get the same error. Any help please? HP 8100 Elite SFF - core i5 Windows 7/32 bit.

  Hello:

  If you look at the quickspecs below, page 7, some i5 processors require a discrete graphics solution (i5-750 and 760 i5 and i7).

  http://www.NTS.nl/site/HTML/modules/PDF/PC/HP%208100%20CMT.PDF

  This is because these processors do not have the support to run the integrated graphics card.

  So, if your PC have the i5-750 or i5-760, you need to have a graphics installed for the video card to work.

• HP 8100 elite sff does not start after upgrading processor

  I'm putting an i7 870 in a HP 8100 elite sff, but it won't start.  I get 6 beeps.  If I put the old processor in it works.  Any ideas?

  Thanks for the suggestions.  I had already updated to the latest version of the bios.  It did not help.  It turns out that when you upgrade the 8100 elite to an i7 to add a separate video card.  This is why I am getting 6 beeps.  Thanks for the help.

• Transplanting hard HP Elite SFF 8200, 8300 and vice versa

  Some time ago I asked a question on the transplantation of the hard drive of my HP 8200 desktop computer for my new HP 8300.

  As suggested, I installed files to controller hard drive before the drive, and almost everything seemed to work fine. (Windows installed some additional drivers after training has been installed).

  The operating system recognizes the new serial number etc, but HP Support Assistant still thinks it is installed in an HP 8200 machine. This caused a problem or two becauseHP support help has tried to install a new update of the BIOS for the 8200, which of course will not work.

  I have installled the hard drive of my new 8300 in the 8200 and run Setup from there. This has caused fewer problems but still think that it is installed on the 8300!

  I assume that there is a file that identifies the operating system of the machine. Is it possible to edit this file, or replace the file with the correct version?

  Nigel.

  I try to uninstall HP SA, reboot the machine and then download and install the latest version of HP SA.

• HP Compaq 8100 Elite SFF: Upgrade 8 GB to 16 GB

  Hello everyone

  I wanted to know if someone could send me a link where I could buy RAM (from amazon, Ebay,...) which would be compatible with my computer.
  
  I bought so much ram (4x4Go) with a different frequency and CL, and none of them work. My computer beeps (with a red led) or it starts but stucks in the logo of the window.
  
  I checked on the website of intel: http://ark.intel.com/fr/products/43550/Intel-Core-i5-660-Processor-4M-Cache-3_33-GHz

  And even if I buy the RAM at 1333 Mhz and 4x4Go I have always the same questions.

  I want to say that I do not see where I made a mistake. Is it because my power supply is not powerful enough? I got this pb
  
  Thanks in advance for any advice or links (and sorry for my bad English, I'm from France)

  You are right!!!  If it is not broke, don't fix it! But to be honest, I did not play any Blue Ray DVD on my computer, so if a problem exists with the current firmware of the device I need to do? or just curiosity, I'm sorry I lose you, update/upgrade uses the drivers to recommend running the operating system preinstalled in this case Windows Vista?

  If problems exist, then try to upgrade with the appropriate firmware listed in the driver version Vista.

  Some of the improvements will work and others cannot.  It is unfortunate but it is like that between Vista and Windows 7.

  But... If everything works well, change the drivers and/or firmware and invite trouble.

• Update BIOS to HP8100 Elite SFF

  Often when I restart, the HP logo appears, the system hangs.  Another time does work ' t mouse after a reboot, and I have to unplug the USB port and use a different port. I thought that an update of the bios can solve these problems.   However, I am not clear when I go to the HP support network. It gives two options for the Bios 786 H 1 upgrade. From v1.04 to v1.05 and other v1.09 for v1.13. I V1.05 on my computor, does that mean it is up-to-date, or can I switch to V1.13? OS: Windows 7 64-bit sp1Windows 7 64 bit sp1

  I don't have a 8100 Elite so can only reference the docs from HP

  BIOS version 1.13 is the latest available for your 8100 Elite. If you look at the history of revisions for this release, you'll notice that it exposes all the fixes and improvements (normally) that have occurred since the first version.

  Curiously, on the Review tab history of 1.13, it shows nothing before v1.08 but this version may not be the initial relase. Earlier versions of the bios are (and only 1.02 is actually documented as initial version in the release notes). I suspect that the reason is simply a change in HP/web documentation. Maybe it's because HP has simply changed the layout of the web page in the "release history" tab to include the actual corrections and improvements for each version (at the time the v1.05-> update 1.08 took place) and rather that fix HP old bios version documents/pages to reflect a new way of presenting history, HP has simply created a new branch of the document and ignored the old versions (with no notes to clarify the question)... But really, who knows why he is documented in two different ways...

  The important thing is that bios v1.13 clearly indicates it is compatible with your elite 8100 sff and corrects a post blocking problem when certain hardware is plugged into a usb port. As you post hang questions, it is best to upgrade to the latest version of bios 1.13. Just take note that with the 1.13 update, he not do it back as mentioned in the release notes...

  And if the bios does not have the grip of the post, then you may have other problems. First try update bios v1.13

• Tecra 8100 - CPU max, DVD - ROM and BIOS update issues

  1. I have a 500 MHz processor on my 8100. I would like to upgrade to maximum capacity. I think it's 800 MHz since it is the highest, the series went to.
  But if it's 800 MHz, any Mobile PIII on this frequency do? Or should I check for special settings of the processor?

  2. I don't have a floppy, or ways to get drive one. And I'm not going to ebay one just for an update of the BIOS. Any ideas? A bootable CD with the files will do?

  3. What is the location of the DVD-ROM and what alternative models can I use? The 8200 went up to 8 x DVD - RW. Could I go further?

  Thank you. I hope that my post is OK like this instead of three different positions.

  1 take a look at the other Tecra 8100 models to determine which processors are compatible.

  2. I don't think that would work a bootable CD, you must follow a special procedure to update the BIOS and requires a floppy drive. If there is a version of Windows, you must use that instead.

  3 upgrade the DVD player can be difficult because you must use the correct master/slave settings, and it must have the same design of the façade of the original.

  Personally, I'm selling the laptop and buy a second hand faster one. It can work out to be cheaper.

• Time to update the BIOS and firmware of remote management?

  I'll put up a 'new' ThinkServer RD630 (2954A6U). It was purchased for a project that never happened, and we are now dry and reuse to replace an old Office Server. The current firmware versions are:

  • BIOS: 2.05
  • ME: 2.1.5.73
  • BMC 1.7
  • IPMI 2.0

  Page 61 of the User Guide ThinkServer says, "update the BIOS on your server only if the new BIOS version specifically solves a problem you have. We don't recommend updates to the BIOS for servers that do not need. [...]"

  As far as I know, we have no problems. The system starts fine and runs Windows Server 2012 well enough.

  HERE'S MY QUESTION:

  Should I update the BIOS and firmware IMM (remote management) to the current version? Are there hidden problems, security issues or other concerns that it is worth?

  Other indicators of initial configuration that you can share with a new admin would be much appreciated, too! Thank you.

  With the help of the Lenovo Support, I was able to fix my problem where I couldn't get to the menu of the BIOS of the 630 RD (in F1) and all I saw was a cursor on the screen. I describe the procedure in detail here:

  https://forums.Lenovo.com/T5/ThinkServer-rack-mounted/BIOS-settings-blank-with-cursor-after-BIOS-UPD...

  Thank you to all those who commented above and especially to those who have sent me suggestions via PMs.

• Update of the firmware/BIOS using OME and iDRAC

  Small question. If I update BIOS and firmware (for example, NIC) OME aid via the iDRAC, is whatever it is must be done on the server first? I have several new ESXi R720s that I need to update. They do not run virtual machines (they were not configured/implementation yet), but they are turned on and are the basic login screen with ESXi. My understanding is that the iDRAC will do everything in the background and then just restart the server once it's over, so the only downtime is when restarting. Is this correct?

  If the situation changes and servers have put VMs in place, something needs to be done before I run the OME system updates? IDRAC is all discovered using WS - Man.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Yes, your interpretation is correct. You don't need to do anything on the server. But make sure that the required ports are open between OME and iDRAC when you perform the update system via iDRAC.

• BIOS and Firmware update

  Am I wrong in assuming that no firmware and BIOS updates are needed for my blade servers as part of the ESX updates?

  Mike

  You are wrong to assume that. You should always apply BIOS and updates the firmware for your hardware.

• Division by zero weird problem on HP 8200 Elite SFF

  Greetings,

  I posted my message here, it appears now that my problem is hardware specific.  My machine has the following specifications:
  
  HP Compaq 8200 Elite SFF
  Intel Core i5-2500 Duo @3.3 GHz processor
  8 GB memory

  Windows 7 x 64

  (I can provide more details if necessary)

  This has been me puzzled for more than a week now!

  We have an application where we lack in a division by zero. That request is deliberately built to raise exceptions in this case, with a call to the function _controlfp_s for edit masks on floating point exceptions.

  Now, when you run in a division by zero pretty much all of our machines, Visual Studio 2005 debugger breaks in the right place in our source files. However, on this machine, the location of the break is in every sense and seems to be unrelated to the real cause of the failure. So as a test, I built a simple win32 C program with just the following lines of code:

  int main (int argc, char * argv [])
  {
      float temp1, temp2, temp3;
      unsigned int control;
  
      _controlfp_s (& control, _EM_UNDERFLOW + _EM_INEXACT, _MCW_EM);
  
      Temp1 = 1.0;
      Temp2 = 0.0;
      Temp3 = temp1/temp2;
  
      return 0;
  }

  On all these 'good' machines, the code breaks when the temp3.  Among the other machines tested successfully, I had various hardware and operating systems, including Server 2008 R2, Windows XP x 32 and Windows 7 Pro x 64.  However, on this machine, the code stops at:

  C:\Program Files (x 86) \Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\crt\src\tidtable.c

  function:

  __set_flsgetvalue()

  In reviewing the records I have change the assembler code, everything seems fine until I hit the "ptsps" statement... then all records seem to be messed up (vs research as expected on a good machine). When comparing the stack on the good vs. bad, I also see entries of pile on the wrong machine, I don't see a good...

  Now... Here's what I did to solve problems:
  1. a disc image of the original disc HP on a hot spare and the original picture restored.
  2. only installed Visual Studio 2005 Pro - portion of C++.
  3 - tested above, code has always failed.

  4 - update all service packs Windows and tested above code.  Failed.

  5 - update all service packs, the Studio 2005 and tested above code. Failed.

  6 uninstalling all the bloatware and tested above code. Failed.

  7 - updating the BIOS and firmware and tested above code. Failed.

  8. install Visual Studio 2010 and tested above code. Failed.

  Then... I decided to take my spare disk image and install it on a similar, but a little older HP computer that we have, which has the following specifications:

  HP Compaq 8000 Elite SFF
  Intel Core Duo E8400 #3 GHz
  4 GB memory

  I went through the process of installation very well, even though she used the typewriter 8200 recovery partition.  On this machine, I simply installed the operating system and Visual Studio 2005 Pro - portion of C++.  No service packs not whatsoever (even if the Studio 2005 requires an update for 'vista') and the code worked as expected!

  So, that leaves me about almost everything but the material!  Also note that I tried to disable several processors and all optimization of the BIOS on the 8200, without success.
  
  I don't see anything else I can try... Please help!

  Wow!

  After the posting of this message to a friend... He found a document showing very similar symptoms on some of their CPUs from intel... I then found the exact document who applied to our specific processor (intel i5-2500) here:

  See Erratum BJ1

  This article describes pretty much exactly what I run into!  (Seriously), I never thought this would be a problem at THIS level!

• 8300 elite SFF: 8300 Elite won't USB flash drive boot

  Elite Mini PC 8300.  I made a bootable USB key but cannot get the Menu of boot or boot order configuration in the BIOS to see the player.  Exactly the same as in this other thread pending: USB not available in the Start Menu

  In 'Device Configuration' (BIOS) is listed, it does NOT appear in the Boot configuration order, even if I save changes and reboot.  I have disabled UEFI and Secure Boot, activated Legacy BIOS, I intend to install Windows 7 x 64.  When starting I press F9 or ESC to display the start menu and the USB key is not listed.  All USB ports are enabled.  Tried the ports front and rear (except USB 3.0 those W7 with no support from the other drivers for USB 3.0).  I tried he prepares with Microsoft USB DVD Tool and Rufus.

  The flash player has worked well with several other PCs.  for example I have HP Pro 4300 SFF and the flash player starts without a problem here it is configurable in BIOS and select from the Start Menu.

  First attempts on Elite 8300 was with BIOS v2.99.  But I also tried after update BIOS to v3.03 because release notes made remarks on improving support USB, but there was No change even problem.

  Take the battery CMOS press switch reset CMOS on the systemboard put the CMOS battery, restart the device to fix a date and time in the BIOS and check if this is useful.
