• OptiPlex 780 A15 Bios error 2 and 4

  It seems that every Dell Optiplex 780, version minitower, 0C27VV motherboard that I saw that was updated BIOS version A15 poster code error 2 front and 4 on reboot.  They do, however, start ok to power.  Why isn't it posted anywhere?  What is the solution?  How the BIOS can be reversed to say, A12.  Otherwise, this is a great computer, just make sure you do not update the BIOS A15.

  My apologies, RoHe, that's what you're missing.  The monitor is connected to the computer via a KVM Linkskey switch.  When the monitor is connected directly to the computer, the problem disappears.  Thank you for your time.

• Add the second hard drive in the Dell Optiplex 780 SFF

  Hello

  I have dell Optiplex 780 SFF (Small Form Factor) PC. It has 3 options of SATA. I want to add 2nd hard drive in it, but I see no power for 2 hard drive cable.

  At the present time, I have a SATA Hard Drive and a SATA Super Combo. But the power cable from the SATA Super combo is very unique, I can not able to give the power of this cable to my 2nd hard drive.

  Is it possible to add 2 hard disk in the PC case?

  Best regards

  Dani

  Hi Dani,

  The SFF is using a drive slim lens that does not have a standard SATA power connection. You will need to buy an adapter or a SATA power cable splitter to power a second hard drive.

• Dell Optiplex 780 compatible graphics cards?

  Hi all I'm new on the dell forum. I love my Dell Optiplex 780 SFF and last year I bought a

  "Sapphire AMD HD6570 2 GB DDR3 Lite Retail PCI-E graphics card" which worked but was too big for the case.

  Now, I am looking for the best compatible graphics card, I saw in another post that the Sapphire HD 7750 Low Profile fits, but is there something better than that, that fits and is not low profile?

  Now, I am looking for the best compatible graphics card, I saw in another post that the Sapphire HD 7750 Low Profile fits, but is there something better than that, that fits and is not low profile?

  First, ask yourself "is there something better than that, which corresponds to and is not low profile?  No, because there ONLY cards that will fit must be small footprint!

  Second, 7750 HD cards are often recommended as a good choice for the Dells - unique slot and low power requirements.  I am running a 7750 HD in my own 780 MT, having chosen as the best choice for fit and performance.  That said, your power supply of the SFF is only 235W, which is very marginal.  I've seen reports of others by means of this type of card in a 780 SFF, but you should make sure, that it is not overtax the power, depending on what you have in your computer.

• Add disk 3,5 '' SATA for Optiplex 780

  I have a new (refurbished) desktop Optiplex 780 DT.  It has eight USB 2.0 connectors and not 3.x of USB connectors. I also have a 1 TB 3.5 '' SATA of an old machine (RIP) (WD1001FALS).

  1. do I have to add a card USB 3.0 update, I can use the external USB-SATA interface I 3.x USB speed.  I know the jury in the case, but what power and functional interface connections are available inside the case, or at least on the motherboard?

  2. what happens if I wanted to do an internal SATA drive, is there a (power and interface) connectors inside for that?  There is a white board which implies that I could fit the drive there, possibly with after-sales support.  Otherwise, I have it positioned as a mini tour, so I pose just the drive inside where it fits.

  3. If I had to choose to use the esata to the rear connector, is there a way to get power to the drive off the beaten track?

  Thank you

  Jan

  Hi Jan,

  Here's the manual for your Opti 780:

  There are two openings for a disk 3,5 '' HARD so lots of room inside. You will probably need a data cable, but there should be a spare power connector. There is 1 SATA and SATA 2 ports. Check the manual to see which is which.

  ESATA or USB, you will need an external enclosure. But any USB 3.0 expansion card update should be compatible with your system.

• OptiPlex 780 minitower won't Boot/POST 1.2 Diagnostic lights

  I started to experience problems of power with my Optiplex 780 a few weeks after adding a second HDD.  The diagnostic LEDs are inconsistent at best, but generally the 1 and 2 light.  There, none of the expansion cards installed in the office.  I replaced the following with units well known to help solve the issue, the PSU (of work Dimension 8400) and battery CMOS (of Dimension 8400).  I also tried to exchange the memory modules.

  Occasionally (rarely), it will start actually and I am led to a splash screen with boot options and the option of diagnostic test.  I tried to run diagnostics to determine the issue, but every time that the computer shuts off 10 seconds in the diagnostic test.  I only learned at this point maybe 3 times total. I'm usually pretty good to sort these things, but I'm completely lost at this point.  Any suggestions would be welcome and appreciated.

  Hello

  Given in this case I would ask you to try these steps and advise the result.

  

  If there are other issues to respond to this message, as well as the serial number of the system sent via private message, we will be happy to help you.

• 2nd disk on Dell OptiPlex 780 Mini-Tower

  I want to install a 2nd SATA Seagate 148 gb SATA HDD on my OptiPlex 780 minitower. The drive is physically mounted in the machine and the power cable that extends from the disk HARD existing fits perfectly in place. I had to go buy a 18 "SATA 7 pin data Cable available from the drive to the motherboard.

  Looks like there are two SATA containers-by-side in the middle section of the motherboard. A feed beige plastic and the other in black.

  Does make a difference that the one that I use?

  Is there another container, should I use instead of these?  Locate where?

  After hanging hardware, what I need to do to get the machine to recognize the new HARD drive when booting?

  Thank you

  The colors are to let you know which port is 0 then 1 then 2, then 3, etc. White port is #3 the orange cable goes from the optical drive sata 1 connector blue is the boot disk which is SATA 0. After connecting the power supply and data, you go into BIOS Setup and turn on SATA2.

  

• Install a second hard drive on Optiplex 780 Mini-Tower

  I recently bought an Optiplex 780 minitower with Windows 7 DellRefurbished.com and I am happy with the machine. I would now like to add a second SATA hard drive that I bought, for which a power connector is available in the machine (the current hard drive is 250G and so is the other, I want to install.)

  However, the two ports of SATA cable on the motherboard are used, one for the existing drive and one for the CD - DVD drive. I understand that there may be a separator for a SATA data cable (as there were once two connections on some slick IDE cables).

  According to Belarc Advisor, the jury is Dell 0C27VV A03. Is it possible to install a second hard drive using a USB-to-SATA cable to the CD - DVD drive or the second hard drive? If so, set up a card with an internal USB connection USB PCI adapter? (I have more open slots). Or is there already a USB connection on the motherboard?

  Any advice, including suggestions on the parts that I need to get, are appreciated. I see that I can buy a USB-to-SATA cable that has two USB connectors and two sets of pins of connection to the hard drive. I assume that one of the USB connections is for power to the player. I wouldn't need, because the connection of the power supply is already here and elsewhere I wonder if I can get two the casing with a PCI card USB connections. Is there a USB-to-SATA cable with only the connection of data on the disk?

  The Manual explains the minitower 780 has 4 ports SATA motherboard and 2 interns, so you drive bays devriez have a place to plug in a second hard drive. (The desktop systems and small form factor 780 have 3 SATA ports). Unfortunately, the manual has a diagram of motherboard layout, so I don't know where the 2 other ports would be.

  The motherboard is compatible SATA1a and SATA2. A SATA3 drive must be retro-compatible with a SATA2 motherboard, but won't work on SATA2 data transfer speed. So the price of a SATA2 drive vs a SATA3 drive and the potential future use could be considerations.

  If you think that you will - eventually - upgrading to a new PC with a card mother SATA3, the new system would be able to handle the maximum speed of a SATA3 drive, but only works at speed SATA2 with a SATA2 drive.

  You will need to buy a data cable SATA for your new hard drive, but it's only a little extra money...

  If the manual is not correct (?) on the number of ports SATA on the motherboard, the system is supposed to have an on the rear panel eSATA port, so you can connect a player external eSATA HARD drive as an alternative.

• Three Options for Optiplex 780 follow-up?

  We have about 25 users who need 3 monitors for monitoring systematized and real-time data analysis. These users do not enter our requirement of workstation group. IE, they came away who need the performance of a workstation availability, although the need for the three monitors.  If it is difficult to justify one for their needs.

  I hope it has a healthy option available to provide any Optiplex 780 and 760 users with support for three monitors. I must point out, these are the models of office, the second most available small, who is probably the choice that much more limited. Currently we run the standard ati DVI and the adapter y - vga allowing them their two monitors. If we add a second video card flat with vga connector, the system would allow the three monitor is to be active? (windows xp and windows 7). I don't see a low profile card that would allow two monitors off the dvi (vga y adapater) more a stand-alone vga.

  Recommendations on how to do this without a rip and replace it?

  Thank you guys!

  Not looking at the whole picture.   DMS - 59 to two DVI has 2 outputs.  Out of each DVI DUAL LINK is the sense it has a DVI - D and DVI - A so he can do 1 digital and 1 VGA monitor with the 2nd cable Dell.     If you use 2 cables with 2 outputs DVI - A, you get 4 monitors.

  The other card more expensive that I linked has 4 DVI connections.

  

  Does not seem to you look at the links however to make me wonder if you're just a bot posting endless questions.

• Upgrade to 4 GB Ram problem - computer desktop OptiPlex 780...

  Nice day

  Thank you for your services.

  I am trying to upgrade my desktop computer model # OptiPlex 780 and it's the standard I force the affected elements before, after I check what is the speed of compatible ram, voltage and timing, then I bought this model:

  KHX1333C9D3B1K2 / 8G

  Sound of Kingston - hyper-x blue or you can check the details by the Munificent code above or visiting them this link:

  http://www.Kingston.com/datasheets/KHX1333C9D3B1K2_8G.PDF

  The problem:

  When I delete the original 2 GB Ram and installed this 4 GB ram on the first location, the departure of light 1 # & 3 led with sound as continuous hum without starter or windows interface.

  I tried to:

  -Change the slot

  -Fix the maximum ram which is 4 GB for each slot up to 16 GB

  -Correction of the original 2GB ram in slot 1 then fix the new ram in slot 2 or 3 and 4

  -Update the BIOS to version 15A and update all the drivers from dell.com

  -I make sure that the ram is compatible Guide Dell book on this link:

  http://i.Dell.com/sites/content/business/solutions/engineering-docs/en/documents/OptiPlex-780-tech-guide.PDF

  So please help me in this case, it is urgent and I used this computer in the main office and my work.

  I have a 780 with the Intel E7500, Q45 chipset and A15 BIOS CPU and I'm running 12 GB of DDR3 RAM. Two 4 GB and 2 GB

  Yep, catilley, I'm afraid, you're just wrong on this point - your info is old, apparently.  I, too, running an Optiplex 780 with an Intel Core 2 Quad 9550 CPU, chipset Q45 and 12 GB of DDR3 memory - in fact, it's the same machine that I write this response at this time.

  As I posted a year ago on this thread, the official manual of Service from Dell for Optiplex 780 confirms it will take up to 16 MB of memory DDR3, 4 GB per slot.  Here is the link, directly from the Dell website:

  

• Windows XP 64 bit will run on a Dell Optiplex 780 SFF or Optiplex 980 SFF?

  I intend to buy a Dell Optiplex 780 SFF or a Dell Optiplex 980 SFF, but I would like to know which one will work with Windows XP 64-bit.

  For Windows XP 64 Bit its better to use the somewhat hidden (old ftp site):

  http://FTP.Dell.com/Browse_For_Drivers/desktops/OptiPlex/OptiPlex%20980/

  This has the old drivers listed in multiple versions, including XP x 64 drivers not mentioned on drivers and downloads. The new ftp site is currently slightly broken.

  Hi Muhammad Danish,

  Windows 8 compatible drivers for OptiPlex 780 are not available on the Dell support Web site.

  Have you tried to check for drivers on the video card manufacturer's website? Based on the file name of drivers you mentioned, I think that your computer is the AMD Radeon HD 3470 graphics card.

  Try to install more software Catalyst from the following link: http://dell.to/16zWqy5

  Do not answer with the results.

• OptiPlex 780 Black Screen

  I have a slimline Optiplex 780. The video cable is an exclusive Dell DVI splitter. I tried both ports 1 and 2. When the system boots, the screen remains black, until Windows starts. After Windows starts the video system works very well. The problem is, I can't get in the config or the start menu because I don't see anything during POST.

  New video card fixed. Strange to have problem, but at least it works now.
