• install an SSD in Workstation Z600.

  Hello

  Description explains it, I thought to replace my current HARD drive to an SSD.

  I did a lot research on this myself, but thought I would check here just wrap there are any falls known issues/pit with a ssd in z600 workstation installation, I will look at adding a 1 TB ssd.

  1. installation of the material? the 3.5 inch z600 caddy would not accommodate a SSD, HP sells racks that will fit the z600?

  2. compatibility with the workstation? are there types of SSD that are best suited for z600 workstations?

  3. how to install and set up? is it as simple as connect via a cable SATA SSD and installing the OS? The Bios settings?

  Any information would be appreciated,

  Installed a Samsung 500 GB SATA III Evo in my z600... and it works perfectly.

  Installed last week and have been installing programs and saw the general use of it without any problem. I wanted to test properly before posting a reply. It would be possible that I have problems with it later, but I would of thought that if she had problems I would be this topic now.

  My SSD reads to 282 MB/s and writes to 270 MB/s - write random shuffle (IOPS) (IOPS) 51612 47395.

  Being a SATA II gen workstation his don't reach only the full potential of the SSD to 540 / 520 MB/s writing but reading what I read, you won't notice the difference even its so fast... and I accept CC suite, mozilla, (did not install 3dsmax yet) all boot in seconds compared to the minutes on the old HARD drive.

  Just to note that does not use a HP recovery disk to reinstall the OS. I have used a .iso official windows 7 and booted from USB (although it has some things useful, I didn't HP bloatware) drivers installed perfectly smoothly. Windows serial on bottom of Tower

  1. installation of the material? the 3.5 inch z600 caddy would not accommodate a SSD, HP sells racks that will fit the z600?

  "Via Scott comments, look for the version of"needs-tool"in the post above, mine cost £8.50 and takes every 5 seconds to fit the ssd for the z600. I would not buy the version of the tool-less sugguest... unless you have no hands and a lot of money. »

  2. compatibility with the workstation? are there types of SSD that are best suited for z600 workstations?

  "Yes, they are HP approved detailed SSDs in, but the post above, I had no problem with the class of consumer SSDS, but you dice with what brand." The Samsung EVO 500 GB, no problem. You can use a SATA III ssd, but you can get questions as warned by HP as their firmware does not support certain types (so basically if it doesn't they don't help you) ".»

  3. how to install and set up? is it as simple as connect via a cable SATA SSD and installing the OS? The Bios settings?

  "Make sure that your BIOS is set to RAID + AHCI (mine was already setup like that)." I used the samsung Wizard tool after installation and it will say that your PC is not set to AHCI, but I just ignore it. As long as ORGANIC and firmware are up-to-date, you'll be fine. Use a blindmate card to install the ssd (see above messages). Make sure you get the latest firmware on a USB before installing SSD, it should be the first thing to check after the installation of the SSD. You don't need to change cables SATA from II to III that the cables are retro-compatible... anyway have a SATA III in a z600 will limited you to speeds of SATA II (which compared to a normal HARD disk are ridiculously fast). Just plug in and install OS. It can be interesting to read about boring SSD, the magician of samsung suggest some things to do, but not all are necessary, either its life expectancy more performance... defintely deserves to be read to the top, if it's your first SSD as it was for me. »

  Upgraded high hand the best I've done to my workstation and very simple to do. I'm glad that I waited for better support and cost down on the SSD before using.

  You want to say a big thank you to Scott Harrison for his help on this. I nagged him much but really appreciated his advice! Congratulations to Scott and anyone else who posted help.

  Enjoy your SSD, I'll do it.

• Z600: New to me Z600

  I just finished setting up my new to me Z600 with 2 processors E5640 and 18 GB of ram (said the pub 16 GB but she actually had 3x2gb and 3x4gb).

  I already did some reaseach on this forum and I got lucky with the latest version of the motherboard. I have 48 gb of ram on the way and plan to discover updates as funds allow.

  Couple of things, I am curious about at this stage.

  (1) the LED on the power button does not light upward. I saw refernce to this topic somewhere and they have may be burned. Unless there is a BIOS setting I'm missing that seems to be the only plausible cause. The machine seems to work as it should.

  (2) I'm missing the top trim of the grill and the rear handle. In my view, it was mounted in a rack. Its a minnor thing, but I would replace it if I can. I came with P/N 536605-001, is this correct? I found one on ebay with a suspicious image, anyone know any other source (I tried)?

  You clearly have this well-studied.  Here is some info for you (and others in the future):

  1 part HP numbering system includes two Assembly and buy spares parts for the same exact point numbers and you can sometimes find better for article on eBay or elsewhere in the knowledge of both.  For my Z600, the part number on the label on the cable was 468625-001 REV:B and it is the same as 536305-001.  This is the cable that manages the switch with blue LEDS attached, the son of the speaker system and the thermal sensor in this single cable.  You can't buy just the switch itself.  The Revision B may indicate that HP including how to keep the LED lights goes... it's nice to have this Visual indicator because I put my workstations to sleep, and it is useful to know their status like that.

  2 replacing that Assembly cable requires more digging deep you might be comfortable with, but it's doable.  I marked where the clips were before you cut them with a marker Sharpie on the metal under the lid of the... practice right panel to back things together.  The video CV on how to do this is HERE.

  http://h20464.www2.HP.com/Media/730DD9A1-B5D6-4CFA-A950-C630D70C3073/nav_FRU_video_powerswitchassembly.htm

  3 cursor sets the Z600 and the perhaps Z620 suffered some fine-tuning by HP from versions prior to the last, but I 506601-002, 536311-001, and those 663074-001 and they seem to be interchangeable in practice.  Good deal on this one you got.

  4. great buy on this SSD... these workstations are generation SATA II and is therefore only the version of the Intel SSD.  If it's HP or besides I never had a problem with these 320 series.  They have some internal capacitors integrated to enable automatic saving of data if power failure, unlike the X 25-M series.  Be sure to leave about 20% of the unused capacity for better performance (overprovisioning).  Set the TRIM to run once per week via the Toolbox Intel software, and I don't think that that wakes you up a workstation to run TRIM, but not sure on that.  Thus, it is better to put it for when you are going to use the workstation, usually.

  5 memory... you are already ahead of me!  6 sticks of the same memory is the key to better performance.

  6. the transformer: I mine officially maxed out with 2 x X 5675, running under the heat sinks "Mainstream" that accompanies this Z600 (they run at 95W each and Mainstream heatsinks are noted for this too).  Apparently, unofficially, the MHz 3.46 X 5690 can roll with the Z600, and I a Z400 running with one of those too.  However, warmer 130W TDP max missions and require the 'Performance' for the Z600 heat sinks that are quite expensive (as are the processors).  You can adapt a Performance of the Z400 radiator in the a two spots just Z600 bend down the bottom rear air deflector slightly, but the other processor socket positioning requires the official version more expensive Performance Z600 to adapt.  Fans are wired identically for Z400 and Z600 performance of heat sinks, so the motherboard does not know the difference if you use this method to save money.

  7 Behold my summary of W7Pro64 WEI.  With 2 X 5690 processors in the processor and the memory of the scores we 7.9.  The X 25-M works a little faster and in this box it will get 7.7 score and rarely reliable, 7.8, but he capped in size to 160 GB and does not have the special capacitors, I mentioned to protect data in power outtage.  I stick to what I showed here... very fast and capable workstation:

  

• HP Z600 basic workstation: 3.1 in a workstation Z600 Usb Adapter

  I would like to know if the Z600 will support the 3.1 USB card and if so, do I need for installation?

  Okay... that card should work in a Z600, but it will operate at the speed of 10 Gbps USB 3.1 standard?     N °

  The HP Z600 workstation has no generation PCIe connectors 3.  It has 3 PCIe Gen2, 1 PCIe Gen1 slot slots and 2 PCI slots.  Here is a link to the page HP describing the slots of the Z600:

  http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docid=emr_na-c01719695

  Here is a note of StarTech regarding the speed of the card, points out: "the maximum speed of this card is limited by the bus interface.  Flow max PCI Express Gen 1.0 is 2.5Gbps.   PCI Express Gen 2.0 flow max 5Gbps.  High-speed PCI Express Gen 3.0 max is 10 Gbit/s.  Available bandwidth (10 Gbps) is shared equally between the two ports. »

  These cards in PCIe USB 3.0/USB 3.1 generally need supplementation of power... the + 5V they need does not come to the top of the slot, but it's easy to find a device to SATA power adapter 4 son "molex" which can provide 5V power higher they need to meet potential power draw (compared to what needs USB 2.0).  All this information comes from research find how to add Texas Instruments base HP USB 3.0 card to our xw6600 workstations, that have 2 PCIe Gen2 slots (the others are Gen1).  Z620 gives you some Gen3 PCIe slots... Slot 2, 4 and 5.

  Here is the diagram of slots Z600:

  

• Update, Z600 CPU

  I have the following HP Z600 and I want to upgrade to the current Intel Xeon E5520 processor to E5650, E5660 or X 5675 processors. The two basic questions I have are:

  • Is this possible?
  • If so, what exactly should I do?

  Implicit in these two questions are:

  • The chipsets on the motherboard will build the latest processors?
  • Current heatsinks for E5520 processors will work or it will be necessary to replace them?

  Thank you

  Bob,

  No no model part
  x 5650 WG731AA
  x 5660 WG732AA
  X 5675 LB215AA

  I also mentioned technical information below the means of these prefix.

  Letter prefix:

  X = Performance
  E = Mainstream (editing)
  L = optimized power
  W = Workstation for up to 2 processors per motherboard.

  The letters also refer to the numbers of power consumption of the processor in question. Note that the numbers associated with the letters are for Xeon "Nehalem"focus on the family and the older Xeons who use letter designations have different values of TDP, associated letters."

  L = design power thermal (power draw scheduled with a 100% CPU load running a normal software) of 60 watts or less. These are the chips 'low voltage '.

  E = 80 watt TDP. Intel refers to the Xeon 5500/5600 s with this prefix letter as the ' base' line, and thus, the draw of energy to sleep on these chips is often worse than any which of the other series of chips, despite the other chips may have a higher full-load power draw.

  X = 95 watt TDP. These are the chips 'premium' as their TDP is not excessive that they are difficult to cool in a server rack, but their standby power consumption is much lower than the E-series chips.

  W = TDP of 130 watts or more. What are the fastest Xeons and the hottest made and they are designed to be used in work stations and servers base cooling better than an average rack 1U or 2U server.

• Z600 Workstation: workstation Z600 missing of pci data acquisition and signal processing controller driver

  I just installed Win7 Pro x 86 on my Z600 workstation.  It was an upgrade to Windows XP Pro.  I'm missing the driver for PCI Data Acquisition and processing of the Signal and Hardlock USB 1.02 controller in Device Manager.  Can someone help me find these drivers.  I looked on the page of Support/Drivers for this model, but could not find anything.

• HP Z600: What processors am I limited with the hpz600 workstation?

  Hi, I have a HP Z600 that I bought refurbished. The vehicle currently has 2 x Xeon X 5560 2.8 cpus.

  I am struck with this configuration cpu load limit (I run the intensive 3d modeling software), and I want to improve.

  Am I limited with the motherboard on these workstations?

  Which processors that you would recommend? (I looking for a quite intensive help and have a few hundred dollars to spend).

  Thank you!

  anti1, older versions of the Z600 support microprocessors Intel 55xx only, later versions support as 55xx 56xx CPUs.  The best way to determine this is to boot the system, enter the BIOS F10 setup and look at the date of starting block.

  If the boot block date is 03/01/2009, the system supports the 55xx only processors.

  If the block start date is 07/01/2010, the system supports processors 55xx both 56xx.

  -C' is the block of start date, not the date of the version of the BIOS.

  -There is no way to update the boot block.  (There are several discussions in this forum about this)

  If your system has the block to start later, upgrade to a 6 core CPU 56xx will give best performance.  I think that the frequency of the processor 6 c is 3.47 GHz, although there is a 4 processor 3.6 GHz.  Your application supports multiple cores?

  To get an idea of any increase in performance, look at the reference site of CPU of the pass mark for the top processors of range, here.

  Based on these landmarks (I know, they are markers without real object numbers), you could get about 70% performance increase by using a X 5690 6 3.47 GHz CPU core.  Is it enough for your application?

• Z600 C2: Intel i7-920 on the Z600?

  Intel i7-920 is mounted on the same socket (LGA 1366) X Xeon 5600 family. It is possible to have a dual i7-920 invisible on the Z600?

  I7s are more efficient than the Xeon core (geekbench score 2200 to 3300) mode

  Exiob, welcome to the forum.

  I am not sure if an Intel i7-920 will work or not, but I could not find information in the documentation.  Here is a guide which tells about the addition of a second Xeon processor.  This brings me to blieve that the Xeon processors are better suited for the motherboard.

  I know from experience that some processors will work even if they are not supported.  However, they are not supported by HP.

• HP Z600 workstation: Z600 - POST error beep (5 five beeps)

  I bought an opportunity Workstation Z600 with 12 GB of ram and two processors E5520 Xeon a year ago. It has operated VMware esxi 6 like a champ, 24/7, no problem.  I made a change to esxi to activate technology hyper threading that I had not been activated previously. The change required a reboot.

  Directly after the restart, the Z600 gave an error of 5 beeps with power led to change from blue to red and flashes red with each beep.

  I found the Z600 maintenance manual and the diagnostic code refers to a "memory error video pre.  I have tried the following to resolve the error without success:

  1. Reinstall the DIMMs.
  2. Replace DIMMS one by one to isolate the faulty module.
  3. Removed power system without DIMM DIMMS, bike and re-placed DIMM (it was a 'technical' repair suggested on another post here in the forums of HP for a matter of "5 beeps").
  4. Replaced with different compatible DIMM DIMMS.
  5. Replaced the motherboard with used, but identical motherboard number and repeat steps 1 to 4.

  At this point, I don't know what I can do a troubleshooting point.

  For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

  Just a last follow-up.

  I removed the 2nd CPU, cleared the CMOS but it still some messages with error 5 beep. Swapped all of RAM sticks, swapped CPU 1 with the 2nd and traded off the RAM sticks again. Each combination was the POST error.

  I threw in the towel. I thought about buying the new RAM since all my RAM is used, but I can't justify spending good money after bad on a hunch, it's the RAM. I will part out the Z600 and try to recover some of my losses.

  Just that there is another method I wish diagnostic I could apply to understand what is the question.

  Who knew restart, after a year of solid service, would kill the PC.

  Thank you all.

• Z600: updates

  Just a quick question regarding a CPU upgrade

  I have 2 x X 5550 - Boot Block Date: 30/01/09 - Bios: 4 786 v03.57

  Want 2 x X 5675

  Are the compatible 5675 X?, or I'll have to stay with the 5500 series?

  I was checking my files for you... 07/01/10 is the date of the motherboard "revision 1" boot block  So, you have the original motherboard instead of the update.

  If you want to the project that is not too bad Exchange in one of the motherboards more recent.

  SSD, you'll get the most bang for the buck in terms of speed.  I think the Z600 is always a motherboard SATA Gen II (check on this... I think remember that the use of disks SATA Gen III started with the Z620, and there may be problems if you try the disks SATA Gen III in a workstation SATA Gen II according to HP).  Assuming it's a workstation SATA Gen II then my favorite for this is the version of 300 GB Intel 320 series.  You can find those new on eBay for a very reasonable cost.  I bought also get used them outside of eBay, and almost always the left life reported by the excellent Intel "Toolbox" software is 100%.  This software allows you to update the firmware of the SSD very easily, if necessary.

• HP Z600 workstation: HDD WORK HP Z600 workstation

  Hello

  This will probably sound funny to you guys, but please help.

  1. can I add a HDD ATA to the HP Z600 workstation?

  2 If this is not the case, can the HARD SATA 3 drive, or should it be less?

  Thank you

  You cannot add an ATA hard drive (aka PATA EIDE) directly as the z600 has no port EIDE. PATA is dead and has been for many years, and you certainly don't want to use a hard drive EIDE both old and slow, which now is probably very close to the end of its useful life as a hard drive permanently in the z600.

  However, if it is just to copy through the data of the old EIDE disk on a storage medium more recent then there are ways to do. We need to connect the old hard drive via an EIDE to SATA adapter to one of the internal SATA ports. However, a less cumbersome alternative is an external PATA-USB adapter or a hard drive enclosure external PATA with USB port, which can be found pretty cheap these days.

  As for SATA3 (aka SATA 6 GB/s), the z600 SATA ports are limited to SATA2 (aka SATA 3Gbps), however SATA3 is backward compatible, so you can use a disk/SSD SATA3 in the z600, but obviously performance will be limited to SATA2 (i.e. of speeds<300MBps). if="" you="" want="" full="" sata3="" performance="" (i.e.="" for="" an="" ssd)="" then="" get="" a="" suitable="" disk="" controller="" (i="" use="" an="" adaptec="" 6805="" raid="" controller="" with="" samsung="" ssds="" in="" ours;="" another="" alternative="" is="" the="" lsi="" megaraid="">
