• XW8600 Workstation (Windows 7 ultimate) time is lost and don't synchronize only not with internet...

  I just bought the week there are HP xw8600 Workstation rental.

  My clock is waste of time every time I have to synchronize with the internet but after that is to keep wasting time not mater runs.

  I changed the COMS battery but the problem is still there.

  I installed Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit, I checked the BIOS version is V01.32. I thought that may be the version is old, but I found no drivers for Windows ultimate y. BIOS I also tried to uninstall and reinstall the real-time clock, but always the same status.

  I would be grateful if someone can help me.

  Thank you.

• using a NVidia GTX770 with XW8600 workstation

  Hi all

  I try to use an ASUS GTX770 (GTX770-DC2OC-2GD5) with my XW8600 workstation. Unfortunately, the card is not being recognized. She appears as "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" in Windows 7 64 bit and NVidia drivers fail to install. Multiple monitors are not recognized, even if they show the office.

  I use two X 5450, 3 ghz processors and 22 GB of ram, but I don't think there is a problem with the power, as I have not had any indication of this.

  My dual monitor Setup shows the same image at the same time permanently on the POST screen, even during navigation of BIOS, which suggests that there is incompatibility of firmware/BIOS. I read that some 770 cards have trouble with older boards due to differences in the implementation of the PCIE standard, and that it would be possible to move by setting the BIOS mode "PCI legacy." but I can't work on what it is, or if it applys, the BIOS XW8600.

  I sent a message to ASUS for help, but I hope someone can help me find a way to get the system to recognize the card.

  Thanks in advance,

  George

  After having tried the card on another machine, I discovered it was a mislabeled Radeon HD7800 (which was printed on the label of nvidia card)

  Moral of the story: be careful on eBay.

  Thanks for listening.

• HP xw8600 Workstation: Jack ports does not not on xw8600 workstation

  I just installed a new graphics (quadro m4000) cars and he doesn't use that sense displayport, there is no sound in my hdmi (im using my TV ihave to use converters) and so I had to use my ports for 3.5 mm jack. But these do not seem to work, I used those in the front, rear and uninstalled nvidia hd audio and used stock, but it does not recognize my headset. I was in the Woods in the security > device no matter but not to chance it. If someone could help that would be great.

  Hello:

  It is very possible that the graphics card turned off the audio system built into your PC, because a model of PC of this age had a BIOS that is too old to tell if you have added a video card with HDMI and it disables the built-in audio system thinking that you have added a sound card too.

  This nvidia card may have supported audio out of the display port, if there is a sound chip on the card.

  Go into the BIOS menu advanced and in the section device options, there may be an embedded audio setting that appeared.

  If there is, it will probably define to people with reduced mobility.  Change the active setting.  Save it there and once again when you exit the BIOS.

  Restart the PC and get into windows, integrated sound card should work again.

• xw6400 xw6600 xw8400 xw8600: Trim SSD support pilot solution ESB2 xw workstations

  EDIT: IT TURNS OUT THAT THIS PROBLEM EXISTS IN THE W10PRO64 INSTALL ON HP XW WORKSTATIONS AND PROBABLY OTHERS.  SEE THE MAIN 7/16 MESSAGE.

  I worked on a project to help another Member of this forum, and just made a significant breakthrough related to workstations xw, their storage and support TRIM SSD controllers driver version.  I discovered this when working with Hard Disk Sentinel Pro version 4.60, the free trial version.

  It turns out that the Sentinel program can probe a SSD and see what parts of the usual special OS components for the optimization of the SSD are installed, and especially if DECORATIVE knowledge for the SSD is really at work.  In their FAQ, they explain that the operating system can have the function TRIM supported, but this PAD can actually be disabled despite the operating system having received the appropriate command to turn it on.  This is due to hardware (storage controller chipset is perhaps simply not able to do) or software (the version of the driver for this chipset may be unable, but a newer driver may operate properly).

  I fell exactly this problem of driver and bet that few of us knew that this might be the case.  Xw6400, xw6600 and xw8400 xw8600 workstations that all use the same storage ESB2 controller chipset and the xw6600 I was working on a series THAT SSD Intel 320 returned a response to my probe with Hard Disk Sentinel TRIM was supported but disabled.  Another xw6600 with SSD even reported THAT TRIM has been supported and active.  The first was using ESB2 8.6.2.1315 drivers older drivers and the second was using my 'best' favorite ESB2 drivers 10.0.0.1046.

  I ran the normal TRIM check control on the first xw6600 (DisableDeleteNotify fsutil behavior query) and she came back from 0 (which means the TRIM is enabled in my W7Pro64 OS).  Run the cmd as administrator, using an elevated command prompt.  It turns out that 0 operating system response does not mean THAT TRIM is currently working... it just means that it might work if the hardware and the driver have both were sufficient.

  I then updated my driver storage controllers ESB2 via Device Manager for the 64-bit version 10.0.0.1046, re-directed Hard Disk Sentinel, and now have TRIM both supported and active.

  This is an important finding... goal before, with the ESB2 8.6.2.1315 drivers, I could manually run the TRIM of the Intel ToolBox software, but now the operating system can run TRIM automatically, at regular intervals.  I'm just happy that I had already set on this 10.0.0.1046 defined as my drivers of go - to for clean installs a long time ago.  Those who, moreover, are not what you get the installer of HP DVD.  I got them from Intel.  Target the x 64 folder of the Device Manager for travel it driver update method, assuming you are using a 64-bit operating system.

  Note the arrows below, with 3 photos showing (1) a version clone on a disk of a source image of HARD drive, then (2) a clone of build on an SSD of the source image to HARD drive (with the old drivers) and finally (3) build a clone on a SSD HARD drive (with these new drivers installed) image.

  

  Former pilots and note that Acronis or operating system specific SSD components added automatically:

  

  Now, with the 10.0.0.1046 new drivers:

  

  You can use a trial version of Hard Disk Sentinel to confirm whether or not your SSD TRIM feature works actually automatically operating system and if not then try some new drivers of storage controllers and check again.  I found Hard Disk Sentinel to be rather intrusive, so do not keep not installed other than for this type of test.

  I have prepared a number of HP W7Pro64 xw workstations running the activation of W10Pro64 and stumbled upon the fact that the W10Pro64 standard install places older drivers of storage in the setup controller have been recorded previously in W7Pro64 moved to 'support' TRIM but do not have automatic controlled by regular OS TRIM SSD feature enabled.  It has, instead, been 'disabled '.

  It's one thing to manually run TRIM once a month, but you should really have the OS taking care of this task and do not forget.

  For HP workstations that use the storage controller chipset ESB2 and emulation of BIOS SATA value 'RAID + AHCI' or 'RAID' If this other option is not available (same driver install results, whatever) there is a problem.  I have not studied upward in the ZX00 or ZX20/ZX40 generations yet because they use other chipsets and drivers for this task.  ESB2 chipset workstations include the xw6400, xw8400, xw6600, xw8600, more a lot more HP.

  The W10Pro64 install results in automatically install the driver of ESB2 being 8.6.2.1025 with driver date 10/08/10.  With a Hard Disk Sentinel program detects that TRIM SSD is supported but not active:

  

  After updating the driver for the 10.0.0.1046 more recent version, dated from 13/09/10, the TRIM feature for the operating system has been both took in charge and active:

  

  I found Hard Disk Sentinel a tool valuable, but a little intrusive, so I install only to such experiences and then uninstall.

  Thus, greeting take is the same for these workstations running W10Pro64 it was when they are run under W7Pro64 (see above messages, 1/16).  Update the 10.0.0.1046 storage ESB2 if controller driver version you want as your SSD that will be automatically triggered by W10 for cleaning PAD regularly.

  Who remembers to do it manually?

• Adding a port series HP xw6600, xw8600, and other workstations

  Based on some advice from Dan_in_WGBU (which is a HP engineer and an excellent source of information in this forum), here's how to add a serial port backplane HP.  To access a serial port still can be very useful for some projects.

  As is done with many more recent work positions the xw6600 and the xw8600 both have no ports series on their basket funds, but HP has designed some of their motherboards with a special type of powered serial port header consisting of two rows of pins... 8 pins on 1 side, 7 on the other.  Who is supposed to accept a cable sheet with a record of 8 holes with a 'white' (filled plastic) which allows the other end go on the motherboard header in only one correct orientation.  For the xw6600 this header is down on the lower edge of the motherboard, just left of the SATA port to the left, under the lowest PCI slot.  It's a '8 x 2 males header' with a single missing pin, which is where plastic filled wil end of shooting overall.  The same device is used with a number of new jobs Z, too.

  The small device at the other end of the ribbon cable is known as a "2nd serial port adaper" since when virtually all workstations had a built-in serial port in the bottom of basket.  With the HP xw6600 and before xw8600 workstations this unit should really be called the "1st serial port adapter".  Dan indicates that this unit can be used on any HP motherboards with special serial port header powered 8 x 2 this necessary.  You can see the unique circuit board at the end of supplypaper-mother of the device below, which receives power from the motherboard to the appropriate serial interface and signals.  Note that this is not a simple transmission device on a cable in water, which is used by some other manufacturers to get signals to/from the motherboard serial port.  Head of series of motherboard HP 8 x 2 location is easy to find in your Workstation Service and technical reference Guide.  These manuals are easy to find via Google.

  Combined perimeter wire / Ribbon / two brackets PCI 'part option' number PA716A, but the key for a cheap purchase on eBay must know he has reference number is 264534-001 283984-001 (alias).  You can find them on eBay in one of these three designations, with the more expensive under the option part number.  Make sure you get the included ribbon cable... Mine cost me about $10.00 total, including shipping.

  XP/W7 32/64-bit OS will recognize this material added automatically, and I bet that Windows 8.1 would be too.  Here is an example of the complete kit, you will get directly from HP, including full-height and low profile PCI brackets.  Many found on eBay are sold without this special ribbon cable coming from the top... Be sure to get one of these.  I bought used... difficult to wear one of these stars:

  

  I can't post the patterns, but it's OK for me to show the pinout of the connector on the motherboard, since most of them are already in technical reference guides.

  The serial port follows the standard RS232, once the card is installed.  On the motherboard, the serial port UART signals are routed to the Super IO on the connector of P53, but the motherboard is not the interface RS232 circuit needed to provide the interface voltage levels to meet the EIA/TIA-232 standard and to provide ESD protection on the serial port.  So do not try to connect a serial port connector and connect it directly to the motherboard.  It will not work and may damage the motherboard.

  The PA716A card is very simple.  It contains an RS232 interface circuit, more a handful of components ensure the electric compatibility and quality of the signal.  This card is identical to the one used on some HP desktop computers and workstations since about 2002.  If you can get one at a great price, it's probably not worth making your own.

  

• Please help, audio problem with XW6600 and NVS 315

  Greetings:

  I just buy a renovated, XW6600 Xeon dual processor, 8 GB of RAM, Windows 7 Professional 64 bit system.  The PC comes with a nVidia NVS 290 graphics card.  Everything works fine and the speaker in the motherboard Jack produces sounds.  However, when I change the NVS 290 with a NVS 315 (it is a HP 720837-001 replacement part), the sound stops working.  The speaker in the systray icon has a red circle with an "x" in it.  If I right click on the speaker, the playback device, it shows two TV as icon one above the other with a red arrow pointing down and a description on the righ side saying "Digital Audio (HDMI) high definition Audio Device not connected.   I have the same result in 64-bit Windows 8.1.  The problem is resolved, if I reinstall the NVS 290.  For both cards, I use the latest version of the nVidia Driver and driver HP.  Am I missing something?

  Any help to solve this problem is greatly appreciated.

  First of all, you want to be sure to load the latest version of the BIOS on this xw6600.  It is from the end of 2012.

  I met this problem several times... do not know if these suggestions will help, but I think that your experience may be related to previous losses audio when the latest drivers are loaded that contain "pilot high-resolution audio" in the game of video driver.

  The current Quadro NVS 315 W7 64 bit graphics drivers Quadro ODE 320.92, which work well in my xw6400, xw6600 and xw8400 workstations running several types of cards Quadro FX and NVS.  If you have used the standard installer downloaded and used the standard "recommended" install that he threw into about 5 pieces, that only one you really need (selected by default single main driver in a custom installation).  That's all I use now, throughout my nVidia installs, and I also check the clean install box on the last page before loading begins in the custom installation path that I go down.   So, to charge fees, I first uninstall anything nVidia via the control panel and then hunt around on drive C for nVidia remains in the trash.  This includes any folder with nVidia in its title, including temporarily enable Show hidden files and folders in the tab views in the Folder Options Control Panel.  I then reboot and finally make this unit "clean install" - checked - technical of custom installation.

  Try this approach first... it's easier.  You might have luck, and audio can return.

  One of the elements that was installed in the "recommended" non-custom installation was a driver of nVidia high-resolution audio.  This seems to conflict with / replace the RealTek driver who was using your audio RealTek chipset on the motherboard.  I discovered that there is a part of BIOS for those workstations which is usually hidden, but sometimes becomes visible with installing drivers high-resolution audio.  F10 in the BIOS, go to the Advanced tab, down for the terminal Options and check if rebalanced Audio appears just above monitor follow-up.  If he was not hidden by the nVidia high-resolution audio driver load then it will virtually always disable status.  Change to activate, F10 to save the change and BIOS don't forget to save changes on exit and F10 again when BIOS asks.

  We got exactly that occur as a result of installing the drivers nVidia GeForce to a GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST on a xw8400 and I saw that happen with these latest nVidia Quadro driver packages, too.

  This is the second best method to solve the problem, if it works.

  Another approach is to save your current BIOS settings via replicated in the BIOS Setup, load into my settings to clone xw6600 (attached) and see if the sound comes back like that.  Sometimes integrated Audio remains hidden when we F10 in the BIOS, but my clone settings was set correctly even though the option remains hidden.  You can open the attached CPQSETUP. TXT file with Notepad and Find allows you to do a search for "audio"... the second shot will be the Audio integrated, one.  Note that it is configured to allow this clone... He usually lies in a status of disable, otherwise.

  You can edit it with Notepad, except that, and charge that the version of your original settings of the BIOS using replicated Configuration changed if you want to use this technique with other types of work, such as the xw8600 workstations.  You will always find this entry via this method, even though it is hidden when you look directly into the BIOS, so it's a good thing to know.

  It is the third most easy.

  Fourth... you start dinking autour with drivers in Device Manager.

  Replicated configuration function of the BIOS with a USB, it is very easy to save your original BIOS settings, try another set of settings and return to your original if you wish.  The clone CPQSETUP. TXT file can be edited by hand (with caution) to convert a Disable to activate, for example, saved and then downloaded into your BIOS firmware.  If you want to try attached BIOS xw6600 clone settings make sure to change off the coast of the "xw66002" so that only CPQSETUP. TXT is on your USB... Replicated configuration works which with a file named exactly that.

  I posted here a few days on exactly the configuration of the workstation this clone has been optimized dethrone archive on it.

  Finally, please post back with your findings because it has become a more common problem, and the more data we have here: it is likely, we will find the fastest solution boilerplate.

• Help setting up a VLAN to the physical network

  I'm having some trouble getting my physical machines connected to my VM servers in my lab environment and I was hoping that someone can point out a few things that I can take a look.

  My current setup is as follows:

  Host computer; Workstation HP xw8600 with 2 network cards

  NIC is connected to my network of production and is only the Setup as a VMKernel Port for host management.

  NIC B is dedicated to my virtual environment and I have a Setup VLAN to use to connect via a small switch Linksys to my other xw8600 Workstation

  I have some configuration of Windows Server 2008 Enterprise VMs on my VIRTUAL LAN. One of my virtual machines is defined as the configured with DHCP domain controller. My other Server 2008 machine provides the SCCM 2007 Server role to deploy images. I connect and push the images of Vista on another virtual computer on the VLAN without problem. Now, I would like to connect a physical machine to my imaging process, but when I plug my physical machine in the switch I get an IP address from my Server 2008 domain controller VM.

  On a side note, my other workstation organizes a secondary virtual environment that is capable of my initial virtual machine environment. I wonder it is a DHCP problem or if this is a physical limitation of how I installed my environment. If anyone can offer any suggestions, I would be very grateful.

  If there is no VLAN on the real don't spend then theres no point in having a VLAN on the vswitch

• Configuration of the BIOS XW8600 for SSD and HDD

  Until recently, my xw8600 has been configured with the emulation of SATA under storage on the separate IDE controller Options.  250 GB hard drives connected to the SATA 1 and SATA ports 0 and readers of DVD RW Drive connected to 2 SATA and SATA 3 ports.

  I wanted to install a GTX240 Neutron Corsair SSD, but discovered when I changed the SATA RAID + DCIS emulation (to activate all 5 ports of SATA controller and optimize the performance of the SSD), the system could not find the boot drive.  I checked the startup command settings and found the slot drive HARD listed title module of memory into the attached USB printer HP Officejet 7500 a first and could not be changed.

  I decided to go back to SATA IDE emulation separate, remove the optical drive on SATA 2 port and attach the SSD it.  This facility is expected to start successfully; but after installing windows 7 x 64 on the SSD (Windows XP, x 64, still on the HARD drive), I found Windows 7 has been very very slow.

  Can anyone offer any suggestions or comments on how I can improve this situation?

  Thanks for any help, you can suggest.

  What is an installation of Windows 7 Pro 64 - bit of a retail installation DVD purchase, or something HP?  If I remember well Vista 64 was the latest HP OS with sold.  In this case you won't have to deal with a set of HP restore disks.  I would never do an "upgrade" of a prior installation of OS in W7.  I only do not clean install W7 on a freshly long-type reformatted hard drive or an SSD.  I buy my "system builder" OEM license W7Pro 64 - bit DVD/COA from newegg.com (you can find that many sources and approximately 140.00 each).

  Plan to do a clean install on this SSD from scratch and when you format before that settle does long formatting version, while it is booted from the W7 DVD.  That will take some time.  Or, if you have a functioning before the OS install on a hard drive, you can restore the xw8600 you can connect the SSD in the second or third SATA port and reformat (long version) management of records like this.

  The boot drive or SSD, Spinner, must always be connected to the primary SATA port, which in these workstations, is usually blue plastic, while the rest are a dark black.

  Make sure that your BIOS is later... There was a version for this and the xw6600 with a few months ago.  It is an important.

  Put the SSD in your favorite mount, hang it in the main SATA port, prepare the W7 DVD in the DVD drive (which should be attached to the second port SATA or IDE cable if it's a DVD ATA drive). Throwing xw8600, go straight into the BIOS and go to which you can change the SATA emulation.  Change that on "RAID + AHCI.  Save on the way out of the BIOS, and the workstation will now reboot usually requiring formal approval of the change F1.

  Demarrer start on the DVD, select clean install and things will be fine.  I usually set my boot order to start hard drive/SSD first and second optical drive.  Then, when I load an OS I just use the F9 key during the early start to switch to the DVD player for this single event.

  It's the key information: If you have correctly set to "RAID + AHCI" SATA emulation for the W7 installation process, then the appropriate drivers will not be loaded from the DVD on the startup disk, and you won't receive anywhere near your expected speed.  I helped a friend who had done exactly what you did, and when we corrected things literally double SSD performance scores.  I recommend that the reformatting/clean reinstall from zero here, because you want to really perfect the basics and the way he was treated initially can leave you with a few important questions.

  After you have things working with the SSD and the DVD player you can add in your other material sequentially.  I would like to make a reboot between each addition, just be very careful.  Some old HP DVD drives have a problem with W764 loading during the emulation of the SATA BIOS is set correctly and there is a solution for this, but you don't want from now this info.

  All the advice I have written in this forum about the xw6400 installs apply to the xw6600 and xw8600, including information on the upgrades of the processor.

  Let us know how things are, so that others can enjoy...

• upgrade cpu XW8600 question

  I have a xw8600 works two Xeon E5420 processors, an EVGA GTX580, 1 SSD, 2 HARD disk, 16 GB of RAM 3 GB and 2 scanners on the power graphics card standard 800 watts.   Currently, all readings of temperature I can access are in the normal range.

  I'm considering upgrading processors X 5460 Xeons.  Is it possible to determine if the 80 extra watts needed running the Xeons X 5460 will be an overload of the power of 800 watts power?

  First of all, load the latest version of the BIOS for the xw8600 if you have not already done this.

  You run two TDP max 80 Watt processors, and X 5460 are each 120 watts.  The amount of material you have xw8600 is not excessive, and your food will manage this total 80 watts extra without problem.

  You'll want to read on the 'performance' radiator/fans for these processors power more high... aka "double-height' we talked about here.  Search for both terms.  Double coconut trees have two fans, a little different wiring and better cooling capacity.  They make more noise, of course.  Speaking of which, on my xw8400 my fan base speed up when I am with 16 GB of RAM, but not with 12 GB.  Here is a link to my previous post on the "large double" thermal performance heat sink / fan xw8600 and use of it in a xw8400.  There is information here that is worth reading:

  /T5/workstations-z-series-XW-series/XW8600-performance-double-tall-fan-modification-for-xw8400/m-p/5846271#M13965

  Lets say you really just want the zip but aren't going to be hammering those hard processors.  You probably could if away with sticking with your original radiator/fan and first watch your time QuadCore with HWMonitor (free) for you ensure that your workload does not heat stress while get you an idea of how things are going.  It is clear from previous work on the wiring for a project xw8400 that adding a shunt sense rpm 3-Socket 5 plug wire would be how to usurp map mother xw8600 thinking that it was a 'performance' heatsink thermal / fan installed.  It would be to see RPM sense data for both fans of radiator/2 double height of Socket 3 and 5 this way, which is what a xw8600 wired in peripheral stock provides.  The motherboard can recognize that a higher power processor has been installed.  Alternatively, just buy two of the double coconut off eBay.

  X 5460 on eBay are about 140.00 for two, used and you want the latest sSpec code which is SLBBA.  Furthermore, you cannot use the processors that do not appear in the BIOS firmware, and you see the list of the latest version of xw8600 QuickSpecs.

  Given that Intel sells about 1250.00 new X 5460 with this code sSpec each sounding like an eBay project.  Search eBay under "SLBBA".

  I have a xw8400 I upgraded to 2 x X 5365 Quad-cores, also 120 watts max TDP, and fans of heatsink of heat/2 high double devices did not exist for the xw8400... so I got a xw8600 double height and a large single and did the mod wiring posted on the forum here to reproduce the wiring diagram of the xw8400 (different from the the xw8600 wiring diagram).  The processor under the single large turn a bit warmer than under the double height, but not by much.  I did run them simultaneously for months, no problem.  There are pictures and much more in this post.  So personally I would like to experiment with the great one more rider RPM wire 3 to 5 first approach and use type xw6600/xw8600 heatsink / fan already appropriated you.

• xw8400: memory from 8GB to xw8400 / xw8600?

  Hello

  I own a xw8400 and want to use the modules of memory 4x8Go.

  I bought 64 GB (8x8Go) FB DDR2 Fully Buffered PC2-5300F 667 and they are accepted by the system.

  But after a while the computer breaks down / off. There are no blue screen or another trick helping to find the cause. The machine is switching to as pulling on the power cord.

  At first I thought that this could be a cooling problem. So I checked the temperature, and it seems to be in the regular limits (about 28-30 ° C air temperature).

  I found the info on the web, 32 GB on this machine (2 CPU) should be possible with a riser card (8x4GB). On the other hand, it could be only a result because the 8 GB modules were not available at this time.
  
  I have two questions:

  * Is it possible to use 8 GB modules on a system with 2 CPU xw8400?

  * I'm testing modules with memcheck, but is it possible to obtain diagnostic information why the system stops?
  
  THX G.

  This could relate.  I have not confirmed this, but I think that the controller memory on the xw8400 is the same as on the xw6400.

  I noticed for a previous project that HP has officially supported specific 8 GB sticks in the xw8600, and controllers memory xw6600 and xw8600 were the same.  This gave me the idea that maybe, although not documented, these sticks of same for the xw8600 may work correctly in the xw6600.

  I received a portion of these HP 8 GB sticks and confirmed that they would run in my builds xw6600 very well.  , But they would not go in versions of my xw6400... even sticks, stations works perfectly same if they had HP 4 GB sticks in place.

  I think that you are facing a problem of memory controller on this older generation xw8400 post working... the sooner (6400/8400) and late (6600/8600) generation workstation familes I note above have different memory controller chipsets.

• HP xw8600: Hot Swap disk xw8600

  BIOS is updated.  1.42 (?) Win 7-64

  I bought an opportunity StarTech SATADOCK525 Trayless 5.25 "Bay mounted 2.5" and 3.5 "SATA Drive Dock on eBay. I installed it in a workstation HP xw8600 without a RAID but my BIOS saids that the hard drives are controlled by the RAID BIOS. I can't the hot swap to work. The drive receives power and works of HD if the disc is in the dock when I start the computer. However I that I swap the disk, the new HD no longer works. Is it because of the BIOS RAID control.

  I have 3 HD over the CD/DVD and the Dock, so I need 5 active SATA cables. I have RAID + AHCI value because I need 5 active ports.
  
  Is this normal? Or do I have a problem?  The motherboard - BIOS supports hot swap?

  Looks like port SAS-0 strives to get hot.  Now try with a HD with real data.

  I plan to buy a HP XW8600 refurbushied and it does not appear that it has installed radiators.  I wonder if it's a really must have heatsinks installed for this system with two QC XEON E5450 CPU.  I will use this system to host multiple Virtual Machines using VMWare or OracleVM.  It has 32 GB of RAM.

  Appreciate your response and pointers.

  Concerning

  Chandra,

  It is strange that someone would sell the workstation xw8600 without heat sinks.  You really need a heatsink / fan on each processor.  These processors run 80 watts maximum TDP each and so you do not need to worry to buy double height double-fan 'Performance' radiators.  You have to buy the combo single-large heatsink thermal / common fan which is used for the xw6600 and the xw8600 currently going for about $30.00 each, used.  The part number, you can search in eBay, is 446358-001.

  HP had the combo 'double height' radiator/fans available for processors used xw8600 greater than or equal to 120 watts TDP maximum per processor.  Those are double-expensive.

  The process of safely removing the original processors, their cleaning and loading them safely back inside with the proper application of thermal paste (Noctua is my favorite), and then properly attach the new heaters/fans with appropriate screws torque technically maybe is something best left to an expert with experience.  Given your question, suppose you who will hire.

• HP xw8600 on mirror

  Just got a new HP Workstation.

  He had two sata drive in a mirrored raid configuration using the on-board Intel Matrix Storage Manager.

  I installed esxi 5 and it went well.

  However, I just noticed that the RAID is now degraded.  I guess because esxi does not recognize the mirror of the basis of Intel?

  Some way to make the installation process differently while I can use the mirror?

  I know it is a few months old, but I have a solution for you. Really, I like the xw8600s for 2 reasons, cheap second hand/refurb and have a card 8 ports sas/sata onboard lsi.

  All you have to do is taken hard sata drives in lsi instead of sata ports ports intel. Then go into the BIOS of the lsi, (ctrl + c) create your mirror and go. That's all. ESXi does not work with raid sata/software.

  The way I have my xw configured 1 is

  1 - sata ssd running esxi (intel sata)

  2 raid 0 15 k drives on lsi sas

  1 2 2 tb disk sata lsi RAID

  My box with 16 GB of ram and dual xeons running esxi as a champion.

• Installing TB31.3.0 on a W8.1 workstation; I want to delete the messages on the user agent of TB, but prevent deletion on the server. Where is the switch? When to install

  Hello!

  I have already installed a TB user agent on my workstation 'primary': I can create, read, and DELETE messages ON the workstation and the server.
  I want now to install a user of TB on a "secondary" workstation agent, where I can create, read and DELETE messages on the workstation. But I don't want the secondary workstation to delete messages on the server. (In short: I want that the function "delete" ONLY allowed to my primary workstation).
  Is this possible? Where is the switch ON / OFF? (For example, this feature is available on the agent on my WindowsPhone).
  When I install it?

  Thanks for your support!

  Using Thunderbird on your second workstation - the only option would be to create a Pop email account
  so before you download anything, you must configure the account settings to "leave a copy on the server.

  Tools > account settings > account for Pop mail server settings.
  or
  Menu icon > Options > account settings > server settings

  • Letter: look for the e-news at startup
  • Letter: arrival of new messages every xx minutes
  • Select: automatically download new messages
  • Letter: Leave messages on the server '
  • Click OK

  E-mail POP accounts can only download the mail from the Inbox server.
  This will allow you to remove off the coast of the secondary workstation and leave it on the server.
  However, Pop cannot see or download other folders on the server: IMAP only can see other folders these are read remotely. But in IMAP because records are a same as server, removing in TB will remove also off server.
