• XPS 8900 there connector SATA 3 SSD?

  From October 2016, Costco sells a XPS 8900, i7, 16 GB, GeForce GTX745 PC.  Is the motherboard in this PC has a connector SATA 3 that I can use for one SSD SATA I already have?

  Yes.The 8900 has five SATA ports on the motherboard and the power cables in support of three hard drives and two optical drives.

  List of spec hard drives to 6GBs and optical drives to 3GBs so maybe two SATA ports are SATA II.

• Power light blinking XPS 8900

  I bought my XPS8900 a few weeks ago and immediately upgraded the memory up to 32 GB.

  Everything worked fine, but then I decided to upgrade the video card to an EVGA GeForce GTX970 SSC.

  This card requires a 6 and a power connector 8 pin that does not provide the power supply Dell stock. So rather that to return the video card, I have improved the power supply to a Corsair CX750M, I've read that other XPS8900 users have had success with this machine.

  As others have pointed out, this PSU is a tight fit, but I could get installed it. As soon as I turned on, my trouble started.

  The case and CPU fans spin, I hear the rotation of the drive upward, and I can open and close the dvd tray. So I know that the power supply provides at least a power. But I get no video, and on the top of the box, the power LED flashes amber model.

  I tried to go back to the video card and power supply dell stock, but still have exactly the same problem.

  I also tried unplugging the power cable and power for 30 seconds button. But still, the power light flashes orange model.

  I know there is no beep codes for the 8900 XPS and the sequence of flashing orange light power is used to diagnose the problem, but I was not able to locate any reference to indicate trends.

  The power light blinks a 2-7 model and repeats.

  Anyone know what this means?

  Follow-up:

  I had ripped all with no luck. Well, everything except the improved memory. He had worked, so I don't think that it would be necessary to remove it. But I was wrong.

  I went back to the memory of stock and the blinking orange light problem disappeared!

  Then I reinstalled the new memory, and it worked too!

  So I guess it was just that the memory should be seen.

  Not sure if the model of 2-7 means 'Question' memory, but this would be my guess.

  Since the 8900 XPS does not support beep codes, I hope that Dell will eventually publish what mean flashing light patterns.

• is the power connector of 9642XT NI SBRIO J3 negative terminal internally connected to Terminal and mounting holes

  I have a SBRIO system with an isolated supply

  http://www.NI.com/PDF/manuals/375052c.PDF

  It is said on page 15, all connections of Earth GND D AI, AO, connected internally to the earth terminal.

  the negative terminal of the power of the J3 connector is also grounded internally?

  I have a system mounted on a box aluminuim, which owns the land on the Earth, and also the supply, which is used to power the sbrio gives voltage isolated, but now if the negative terminal of the J3 connector has an internal connection with the holes and the spade of Earth, how can I use my isolated power supply with the negative terminal is not connected to the ground its main power supply the connection output not the soil Earth domain controller.

  I can't open my system sbrio jury at that time to check directly.

  can you please help if negative - ve terminal J3 power connector is connected internally to the ground lug and mounting holes.

  Thank you

  Hi Freemason.

  I think I just you send an email in this regard, but to confirm, Yes, connector J3 is connected to earth ground in-house. You should still be able to use your power for the sbRIO.

• Brand new XPS 8900 Win 10 won't turn on, flashes yellow 2 times power made a break of 7 times pauses then resumes.

  Brand new XPS 8900 Win 10 won't turn on, flashes yellow 2 times power made a break of 7 times pauses then resumes.

  I've not seen a chart explaining flashing power on the 8900 XPS button codes. And there is nothing in the Manual.

  You need to contact Dell tech support immediately. You have 21 days from the date of billing (no delivery date) to pick them up. And then you can order another.

  Otherwise, technical support should work with you to solve the problem under warranty on this system.

  If you are comfortable working inside the case, it is possible that something got its place potted during shipping. Then you can try reseating the RAM and PCI-e cards modules and cables between motherboard and drives and connection etc. Don't forget to read the instructions on the inside of your PC use in the manual before opening the case.

• All new XPS 8900, card mother USB3.0 connector question

  Hello

  I just got my 8900 XPS nine this week, as a replacement for my Inspiron 530 s who died after 8 years of good service (my previous post on the Dell Community is older than 8 years...). This is the high-end with GTX 960, SSD, 2 TB HDD, 256 MB video card configuration.

  I have a little problem with it and would appreciate an outside opinion on this:

  Yesterday, I opened my 8900 XPS in order to add an additional HARD drive. In the process, I noticed that the hypothesis of fan 960 GTX is pressing firmly against the front, USB 3.0 cable, to the point of the plug is slightly flexed. In addition, the cable is slightly clogging the fan 960 GTX. I was a little displeased with this, as it's clearly inappropriate cable routing. Apart from that, all other cables inside the XPS 8900 are very neatly.

  I removed the GTX 960 (this is necessary in order to remove the HDD cage) and then realized that the façade, USB 3.0 cable is too short, and the plug is very wobbly. I tried to pull gently, to detach the cable and find a better way to move. It seems that the USB 3.0 (the light blue plastic part) is not attached to the motherboard! I noticed the fixing clip, and while pressing it, I lifted the CAP slightly (about 3mm). But decision-making would not unclip and come out as well as the plug. Fear of bending a PIN, I pushed the plug in and gave up trying to detach. Then, I installed the HARD drive and put everything back in, as it was.

  The computer works well. The two façades USB work normally (tested with an external drive USB 2.0). Given that I've already migrated all my data and started to use the computer, I would really dislike having to send it back just for that, unless the issue is a threat of failure in the future...

  My questions are the following:

  -Is it normal that the plastic of the motherboard USB 3.0 connector tip is just pressed (not glued to the motherboard)? If this is not the case, do you think that it has to be fixed or if I can live with it?

  -Do you think I can replace the cable USB-Panel, with a more long (is it standard?) and thus solve the problem for good?

  Thank you!!!

  On mine I disconnected the end of the motherboard and routed it bends 90 degrees and below the map.  To do this I had to unplug it and leave that he unplugged while I routed the flat cable.  Then insert a GTX960 and screwed the card holder in.  With the cable stuck the card in the back, I reconnected it into the motherboard.   I agree that this cable is too short.  Unfortunately, the motherboard connector is microscopic pines which are easily bent or broken.  While I did once, I wouldn't do it again.  This isn't a standard 20-pin connector of the Panel before USB3.

  Worse still, the photos DO NOT see THE real manual 8900 service within a 8900.

  The black usb cable into the blue micro 20 connector pins on the motherboard is not displayed in all images.

  

• XPS 8900, Power Surge?

  Dell told me to refer a new computer, because it turned itself for 2-3 seconds the moment that you plugged into a socket or power surge.  It would then be immediately extinguished itself... with me, never touch the power button.  I switched the computer for an another XPS 8900.  The second computer did the same thing.  I checked the wiring in my house with an electric tester.   Other computers on the same sockets do not do this.  Someone had this problem?  I have not yet activated on the latest to implement computer, because it will supply any outlet that I use in my house for 2-3 seconds.  This cannot be normal.  A that someone already had this problem?

  I think it's normal. My 8900 XPS shows light up on the power switch as soon as I plug the power, then the light goes off. The computer shows no sign of start-up, however; the only indication is the power light, and he died almost immediately.

  After that, I see nothing unusual. Only occurs when first plug the power to the machine.

• XPS 8900 - number of hard drives

  The specs say that it may have 3 internal 3.5 "hard drives.  I was wondering if there is place to put a 4th? (Power, Sata, space, goes up).

  Thank you

  As you have noticed, Dell provides no information about the color of connectors in the maintenance manual.

  Assuming that the repair is correct, all of the SATA connectors on the motherboard XPS 8900 conducted at the same speed (6 Gb/s), so, theoretically, you can plug disks into one of the ports. However, historically, the watched Dell BIOS code on the hard disk connected to the blue SATA port 0. If you have moved to a SATA port that is numbered differently startup disk, the computer may not start. I don't know if this is still true for the 8900 XPS. On my XPS 8500, the boot drive has been connected to the blue SATA 0 port when Dell shipped it.

  Why do I say 'assuming that the repair is correct? Because the owner for 8500 XPS and XPS 8700 manual contained errors about the speed of the SATA ports. The gap you found in the maintenance manual and specification Guide is another example of skills poor documentation of Dell.

  In all cases, more mechanical hard drives may not even saturate a SATA II, but only a SATA III one channel. Optical drives are generally slower, but you can always plug into a SATA III connector.

• XPS vs XPS 8900 8910

  I'm considering buying a 8910 XPS but I have concerns about the problems of heat and noise with the new case design based on messages in this forum. I see that Best Buy is still selling the old XPS 8900 with the oldest case. If I go with the 8910 XPS, I'd probably use the NVIDIA GTX 745Ti stock or 960 video. I would add a 512G SSD for my main hard drive.

  Someone at - it recommendations on the XPS vs 8900 8910?

  You might also consider an inexpensive slot fan who gets the power directly from the PSU. Hot air is vented to the rear of the case.

  This is just one example. There are many different brands and versions to choose so going around.  No idea how efficient they are or how much extra the noise they could add: I don't recommend - or not - recommend this particular fan or provider...

  EDIT: Many / most of these fans of housing have a power connector Molex 4 pin, if you'd also need an inexpensive SATA > power Molex adapter you can connect the Molex fan to one of spare SATA power on the power supply connectors.

• Dell XPS 8900 graphic card replacement.

  I have a XPS8900 with a Dell supplied 750 card mounted TI.  I would like to replace it with a Board of Asus Strix 960 GTX.  It is longer than the existing card and I do not know if she will agree to ram slots and a few cards power for HD etc.

  Has anyone with the type of card to an 8900 and physically fit on the mboard.

  Thank you

  Yes, it will fit.

  Yes the stock PSU will work. Digging around for the PCI 6 Connector. I don't think that the 750ti uses an additional power cable.

  Here is a link to a thread with a link to a thread for xps 8700 upgrades. The cases are the same for a 8700 and a 8900 and power supplies are also the same thing that I said.

  You can also watch the recent GTX 1060, which is even better and uses less energy, but it's a little more money than the 960

• HP G620470CA: G62 - 470 CA do not load - power connector?

  I'm helping a friend with a laptop HP G62 - 470 CA.  It runs Windows 7Home Premium.

  I'm a geek of very experienced computer hardware, since 1968, but only opened about 10 modern laptops - always with the help of downloaded books.

  The laptop in question has only Wi - Fi networks, and I have only a Linux computer with a dial-up connection, so there is no way to connect the laptop directly to the internet from here.  And I can't view the videos.

  The problem with the power connector - a common, but I've read all morning and have not yet find an answer.  There seems to be some interactions between the power brick, power conenctor, battery and motherboard problems.

  Like many users, she found her power connector is intermittent, needing stirring so he could connect. As I had fixed the old laptop of his brother with a work of pig after it (soldered to the motherboard) power connector went wobbly, she asked me to look at.

  When she showed me the machine, the battery was too dead to allow start-up of the machine completely.  The charge LED is not come yet a moment, and there is no visible light on the power brick itself (I don't know if there should be any on this model).

  Put a meter outside the ring and the central axis, I found on 18.5V, positive pin, which looked good and is stable.  Biting moments and the cable has not changed anything.  It seemed that the power supply was the culprit.

  I got it home (where I only switched) and studied the issue for several days, download of HP service documents and discovered that HP had improved their design with a nest, wiring-harness-connected socket which is more shock-resistant and easy to replace.  I told her, and she has ordered a replacement of cylinders harness + listed the number of exact model; I installed it, in the process of learning how to work the little clips on the printed ribbons cables and using a printed diagram from the bottom of the computer to save all the small screws and clips, "with circles and arrows and a paragraph to describe."

  As both outlets had pinbacks resin-locked up, it was not possible to test connections.  A new differed from the former only by not having only not four tiny, rectangular holes around the hole of the central axis.  Food is not about to mate with these holes, and it lists a tension, so I wasn't expecting that to matter.  Maybe it was a feature for foreign cersions of the power brick, I thought.

  I plugged it in no light, but I left in it for awhile in case only the LED was not connected.  Start the machine (including ahd been unable to boot), fortunately, he started and showed 85% battery!  However, only, which is down with the time - there was no load, or at least no more.  I checked the voltage of the charger to see if it may have been damaged by an internal problem.  I found only 13, 75 - 14.01 volts from the outside of the ring to the central pin (positive)!

  Appearing to use a battery to try to light the LED of charging, I watched the cable brick and found that there are THREE sets of contact - the spindle, the outer ring and the ring INSIDE. Others showed:

  4.75 - 4, 85 volts from the inside of the ring to pivot (PIN positive)

  18.5 - 19 volts from the outside of the ring inside the ring (inside the positive)

  Whaa?  The 18.5 was what I expected, but it was between two rings and not between a ring and a PIN.

  And at this time, I noticed that from time to time, a blue (or white, I guess you'd call it) a DUCT on the connector turned on briefly, then turned red orange and outside.  Over time, it stayed white wheat longer, up to 8 seconds at a time, without showing any ability to charge the battery.

  Reading much more here and besides, I noticed that many others had similar problems involving all parts of four - battery, power brick cable, connector and motherboard.  I noticed the battery test can be found in the pages of support and pulled up to HP Support Assistant to test, but the reliable program planted at startup.  It was a version of 7.something.something, the support site said that later was 12.0, so I downloaded that.  However, I can't understand how to install it on the HP machine after it (on USB) transfer to the Linux machine, and the laptop cannot get Internet at home.

  WHAT can I DO to narrow down the problem?  If I know what voltages to which contacts, I can try to charging a battery nicad-multi, that would eliminate all the problems of power supply brick.

  The laptop battery carries a lot of numbers, but next to the 'made in china' legend is CQ42 HP-6.  A sticker says 112B213G6LA65D9CJ83, and another with a barcode PRTNHP234BK06312120141.

  That's a lot to read, I know, but I want to provide as much information as possible to help the members of the forum with kindness.  Again, the machine turns on, but fell to 18% of autonomy.

  Thank you all in advance!

  Thank you, Reo51st - that clears up a lot.  As you probably know, the diagram on the power brick shows the symbol for PIN and ring only (with pin posiitve).

  Since I posted this question yesterday, I have since set up a battery of 12 NiCd cells and jerry-rigged a connector with tin foil and a piece of cable insulation, and load worked.  Then I drove on Free geek, our very convenient source of Vancouver (and sink - they take your trash for reuse or recycling) of the old computer bits and $18 me have a new power brick.

  I therefore declare this thread SOLVED (by me), even if the info from Reo51st certainly would have made me more confident in the test so I saw him at the time.

• XPS 8910 uses the same motherboard as XPS 8900 (NVME SSD)?

  Does anyone know if the new round of XPS (XPS 8910) uses the same motherboard as the XPS 8900?  I am particularly interested to know if Dell has solved the problem of m2 which has paralysed mainly the use of the connector m2 only 1-way PCIE x instead of 4 x.

• XPS 8900 m2 socket

  I did a lot of reading on this and other forums. I fear, I find myself with more questions that answers, I would install SSD in my slot m2. I understand that it is only a 1 lane slot. I understand that I can install a NVMe in a PCIe interface card and get some whiz-bang performance. At this point, I don't want to spend the $ extra NVMe Samsung 950 pro, but I would use the m2 slot. So how can I put it?

  I see a lot of reports of the SSD Samsung 850 EVO successfully used, but many of these reports do not specify what form factor is used. Then there's the guy who says that you can't use chopsticks B split into the socket split of M. Le SSD Samsung 850 EVO m2 has a slot M and B. Many say that they have done successfully. So here I am scratching my head still wondering what to buy that will work in my decision-making m2. I intend to use the SSD as boot drive and have data backed up on a spinner. I'll do my very specific questions:

  Someone has successfully installed internal SSD from Samsung 850 EVO - 500 GB - M.2 SATA III (MZ-N5E500BW) in their decision-making XPS 8900 m2?

  What other types of boards m2 were installed and successfully used others?

  I guess I'll answer my own question. Successfully, I installed the Samsung 850 EVO - 500 GB - M.2 SATA III internal SSD (MZ-N5E500BW) in my taking of XPS 8900 m2 and currently employs as my boot drive.

• XPS 8900 / 6th Gen Intel Skylake freezing (updated WITH a RESOLUTION... EVERYTHING IN THE BIOS)

  Enjoy your 8900 now functional XPS to freeze several times a day.

  ------------------------------------------------

  Here's what it was originally until I find a solution

  So I recently got xps 8900, immediately to install an SSD and upgraded the ram to 8 GB to 16 GB.

  I also used the old keyboard solar logitech and the old computer logitech wireless mouse (they use a usb receiver bit) and was only using these devices of today and it's frozen twice. Could not connect a usb mouse or keyboard and the computer is responding.

  For the first two days while doing the first ssd install and windows 10 updates this computer remained on two consecutive days, using the included wired keyboard/mouse. No problems with the computer freezing or boot the system.

  But when I gave this computer as a Christmas gift and then installed the old logitech wireless keyboard and mouse from the computer froze twice within 8 hours.

  So I don't know if it's a problem of USB or the wifi card is at the origin of the problems because I've seen a few threads mention to remove this card or disable a driver wifi like they got BSOD or other problems.

  Computer looks great and seems to work perfectly, until these last two issues freezing. I intend to buy a new mouse logitech, but that worked perfectly for 6 years on an old XPS computer so I know who did not break at all.

  Update:

  I just wanted to add that I checked a few minutes ago and it was frozen again. No control of the mouse or usb keyboard. I tried Windows key and numlock, capslock, no light on those.

  I have "sleep mode" disabled, while the monitor is disable. After this 3rd time freezing I advanced and disabled the driver wifi and am now under ethernet. At the rate it's freezing, it must be frozen again in the morning. Have a problem with that at all for two consecutive days...

  Update 2:

  -Ran Diagnostic Dell, checked everything well

  -Disabled some settings on the sleep under power options advanced settings
