Installation of SAS drives in Precision 690

• Dell Precision 690 workstation several hard drives

  I have a Dell Precision 690 and I am trying to connect the hard drives in the right order. The documentation says they must go into the HARD drive marked locations on the motherboard, but they do not work. The only slots that work are the SATA slots. I tested five SATA drives but I can only get three to work on three SATA slots instead of four locations of HARD drive and slot extra SATA as the book said to do.

  I tried which helps the controller under the BIOS: has no significance if it is enabled or disabled. I determined that AHCI is unable to be activated, it must be ATA.

  In the end, I need to have five total drives. Four in the slots in the HARD drive and the other in the SATA slot. (Which will be for operating system 1 SATA and SAS RAID 4). I realize that the HDD_0, 1, 2, 3 locations are to use SAS/SATA but I can't take too much work.

  In addition, I don't ' know if this is important or not, but he has Windows XP Professional x 64. BIOS A05 and I know an update is A08, I did do that yet though.

  Anywhere I can find that material assistance would be much appreciated.

  Yes, there are three ports labeled SATA (0,1,2) and four ports labeled as HARD drive (0,1,2,3). The manual says to connect hard drives in HARD drive ports, then in the SATA ports. The first two SATA ports are for additional optical drives and the last port is used for a fifth hard drive.

  I got in touch with several people in technical assistance from Dell and eventually find the right driver to install.

  Because I don't have the OEM disc that came with the computer, I was doing a new installation of a Windows disc. I needed F6 (third party drivers) to activate the HARD disk ports until the installation has taken place. (And honestly I don't remember what the file was immediately.)

  The AHCI could not be activated because the discs I have are Serial ATA disks and in the BIOS, there is a choice between ATA and AHCI.

  The problem is solved and I feel like I could do a test on this computer and become a technician for her.

• Drive Precision 690 start-up blocking

  Dell Community,

  I have a Precision 690, which worked perfectly in an environment Windows 8.1 until my SSD OS died a few weeks ago. I had a Samsung 840 EVO on the set, installed and took the computer home for the weekend to do a clean install window 10 Pro. Surprisingly, given the age of this beast, everything went pretty well.

  My a persistent problem is at start-up, where for the post, I see the screen following with SSD listed, no problem:

  5 Dell BIOS SAS Host Bus Adapter

  MPTBIOS - 6.06.00.02 (2006.04.05)

  HBA listing includes:

  0 0 0 BB6Q Samsung SSD 840 ATA 114473 MB

  0 free SAS1068-IR 0,06.50.00

  Then in the next screen:

  Copyright blah blah blah

  #00 Bus controller, device #1F, # 02:03 Ports, devices 01 function

  AHCI BIos installed

  Drive 0 not found Serial ATA, SATA-0

  Drive 1 not found: serial ATA, SATA-1

  Strike F1 key to continue, F2 to run the Setup utility

  And this is where the boot process stops. Yes I can by pressing F1 and the safe indeed continue, but I do a lot of remote computer management and am not always on the keyboard to press the F1 key. BIOS A08, 4 GB ECC RAM, 120 GB SSD, processor Xeon 2.66 onboard with a nVidia Quadro FX4500 nice... at least it was good when I bought it at the time.

  If you, my people, I humbly request your entry.

  Sincerely,

  Planned

  Hi PLANNED,.

  Also, try the procedure below.

  * The card system has 3 SATA Ports and 4 drive Ports.

  * Please connect the HARD drive to the HDD0 Port.

  * Access BIOS, SATA AHCI, SAS controller operation value: disabled.

  Disable unused SATA PORTS and maintain the SSD as first boot device.

  Let me know if still face you any other issue.

• (Redirected) Precision 690 starts

  I have 8-9 years old Precision 690 with dual Xeon 3160, dual nVidia Quadra 4500 graphics card, double SCASI Hitachi 150 GB, hard drives searched. Computer worked fine until he ceased to start up.

  At the start, it does not show with Bios A 06 Dell logo, as it should.

  This does not suggest that the problem is with the motherboard, boot hard drive or maybe the operating system?

  Any suggestion will be appreciate.

  With our thanks.

• A power of 1000w Dell Precision 690 United States will work in the British system

  I want to order a replacement power and found a Dell Precision 690 1000W ND285 power in the United States, I know that this system works this power but wanted to know if I ordered it from the United States to be shipped to the United Kingdom (England) it will work here or is there a voltage difference that will blow/effect it?

  The reason why I ask this is that I repair my friends Precision 690 power because it starts not as it should be because it has the dreaded 1-3 and power button flashing continuously orange. I usually get it going again for him leaving on the supply cable of the day after / for a few hours, but the problem comes back finally after some closures, so not a solution.

  His system has 32 GB of RAM, a processor my171 mother board 2 Xeon QuadCore 5355, a Nvidia Quadro 4800 graphics card and 4 SATA drives and 2 DVD r/w drives all sitting in the appropriate ports.  I tested it on and all the way to no disk no ram, but even in this case the problem may occur intermittently.  I don't know that his power relatively maybe even a little somewhere? but I've looked and looked and left with the feeling that his power.

  but the only one I can find that is affordable is to the United States, the price they want to pay in Germany, I could buy a car for.

  American food will work in my UK machine?

• 4540 proBook s: help to the New Installation of hard drive recovery

  I had a bad hard drive crash. I installed a new and got the bios to boot from the cd drive, with windows 7

  orginal cd of installation in the drive.  He acknowledged drive 0, I clicked again in the options. He created a system partition.

  Installed windows 7 apparently very well. Inserted the recovery driver and application and installed disk. Everything seemed fine. This morning I turned it on and it the hard drive error (3F0) Please install an operating system. I shut it down and restarted, it seemed normal.  I installed a few programs, stop it again. Returned by, it starts again and it took me to screen diagnosis saying SMART Check - not installed and short DST - not installed...  Can someone tell me how to remove that partition and I can format the drive in a usb sata enclosure and try again.

  Please tell me the correct procedure to return this laptop running to a factory State. I have the original Windows7 and Windows8, Driver and Application for the two OS disks ' are...  I want to stay with the installation Windows7.

  Thanks for any help on this problem. I have no idea where I was wrong!

  It is not impossible that the new disk is bad, have seen before. It is also possible that the controller sata on the motherboard is bad, but I'd watch this last possibility. You can get an Exchange on the new hard drive?

• DVD player does not appear error - the driver may be corrupted or missing. Code 39, fix the driver installation fails, virtual drives don't work - same results if the material under tension

  Original title: drive does not appear, difficulty he pilot installation fails, virtual drives don't work - same results if the material under tension

  A few weeks ago, as my two DVD players (the two Samsung Lightscribe SH-S223Q of) disappeared after a repair installed, I did for the other problems (not sure if it was directly after installation because I don't notice it right away, but it was no doubt). In Device Manager, it gives the message:

  "Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) »

  I tried the Microsoft Fix It tool (Mats_Run.dvd.exe) that detects the problem and says "Install device driver" in a popup, but then he says "software device driver failed to installed. At the end it says under the issue, the "CD/DVD drive is not detected" and the status of Fix 'not set '. Note that, when I boot from another hard drive (with Vista 64 on it installed from the same DVD, just a new installation) disks appear very well. Also I can boot from the drive as well.

  I can't do a repair installation, since it must initiate Windows, and I can't load the disc. I tried to update my BIOS but that has no effect.

  Recently I actually moved this hard drive to another one, with another brand of hard drive and all the rest. Just like before, if I boot from another hard drive (this one with Windows 7), the drive unit-a Optiarc AD-7230 s - looks and works, and I can also boot from the drive at startup. But since the drive hard as I want to use, the drive does not appear. Fix it, etc. Device Manager gives the same messages as before.

  I tried virtual drives - Daemon Tools Lite and Virtual Clonedrive. When I try to add virtual devices to help, nothing happens. The new drive will be displayed in the Manager of devices, but with the same error Code 39 as the real drive.

  What are my options at this point? How can I get the drive to appear or to fix my copy of Windows?

  I could solve this problem. I started in Ubuntu and deleted the existing cdrom.sys, cdrom.inf etc. files (as in Windows, they were protected and I couldn't delete them), then I copied the files from another installation of Vista I had on another hard drive. After having done that, I updated the drivers in device, disabled/enabled readers and readers management that presented themselves.

• Precision 690 MY171 rev A00 mobo - hearts Xeon 5300 series

  Hello

  I know that this subject has been discussed in the past, but I am having a hard time finding an answer for my exact situation.  My Dell Precision 690 runs the rev MY171 A00 motherboard on rev A08 bios.  It currently has a single processor dual core Xeon 5150.  I want to upgrade to dual quad core Xeon 5300 series processor.  I've seen youtube videos and discussion with rev A02 MY171 boards that run the 5300 series, but nothing to confirm if the version A00 will run them.

  The rev A00 motherboard BIOS A08 MY171 will work two Xeon 5300 series quad core?

  Thanks in advance for the help!

  Today, I received my processor Xeon X 5355 to four hearts by post and installed in on my MY171 Rev00 on bios A08.  No problem during the performance of the processor.  I took out the battery from the motherboard for 2 minutes before relocation and commissioning for the first time.  BIOS immediately recognized the processor.

  I'm running window 10 and initially he saw only 2 carrots.  I went into MSCONFIG and made some changes on the STARTUP, the Advanced Options tab, you should uncheck 'Number of processors' and restart.  After that, the OS will see all 4 cores.

  I intend to run identical to the second X 5355 processor, but am waiting to get a second heat sink before a fall.

  Hope this helps others seek to upgrade the 690.  The two processors cost me a total of $20 on ebay.  Also got 16 GB RAM DDR2 PC5300 (8X2Go) for this computer for $10.  Computer will work great for $30 worth of improvements.  I still feel like they need SSD to run faster.

• Problems of precision 690

  I have Windows 10 technical preview on my 690 and I can't. I try to run the Dell technical support. It gives me this:

  What is happening with it? I entered my serial number manually and also used the software to detect it. Any suggestions?

  Thank you

  It worked! Everything is off the Execute Disable bit: in Bios/security and Win10 loaded on the Dell Precision 690 with no problems. Thanks for the idea! {:>) I guess I'll have a spare MB now at least. Was only about $30 with installed 3 GHz proccessors on Ebay. Thanks again!
