XW8600 sata gen 3 boot to pci-e card?


To my knowledge, that would not work.  The HP xw workstations had a specific boot SATA port, port 0 and usually a different color than the other SATA ports (in blue in my case).  I tried to boot from the same drive that worked when it is plugged into the blue port when it is plugged into the port beside him, empty, blue port and it wouldn't work.

That said, these workstations can boot from USB drives, PATA disk attached to the IDE port on the motherboard, floppy and optical drive plugged on no blue SATA ports, so you'll just have to try.

I had a couple of series of Intel 320 300 GB SATA generation II SSD off eBay and have been very satisfied with the performance, start the SATA 0 (blue) from their port.  These SSDS are a real leap in performance for these workstations xw.  For most of our needs the 160 GB size is fine.

  • Satellite A200 - I can boot from PCI express card?

    I have a laptop A200.

    I recently bought a PCI expresscard HD. Many people have asked this question already on many sites and regarding several different brands and models of laptops. According to anadtech and other techys the only way to do an ExpressCard hd is updated the BIOS. During the installation of Windows it says that it canoe on the device because the BIOS is not able to boot from it.

    Toshiba creates a new BIOS to allow starting the expresscard hd or not Toshiba have a laptop model that will allow already, as im thinking of buying a new laptop but only if this option is available.

    There someone using windows vista/xp knows a way round.

  • Z620: need help with the difference ("boot") of ssd pci-e cards and pci-e (BIOS) nand

    Hello

    I intend to buy a card pci-express ssd for access/faster transfer, and I read the topics concerning the problem of booting from that ssd, but still did not understand much to be honest.

    what I noticed, is that HP620 should work with older (like turbodrive Z), but not the based NAND, new Z turbodrive G2,.

    or only with a few tricks.

    now to my question.

    Some people say, this new nand ssd pci - e cards require a boot uefi bios and a few options, I do not understand.

    as I have a regular bios (not), is it true that you cannot boot from these new ssd expansion slot, or are there tricks like the passage to the AHCI and a few other options in the bios?

    If this is not possible, I'd be limited to regular use SATA ssd, limited to 500 MB/s of bandwidth, right?

    Thanks for any help

    Found this info on the web;

    "There are actually two versions of the player. The original version uses the familiar AHCI Protocol, while a new variant is the NVM Express standard. The model of the AHCI is compatible with a wide range of motherboards and available among a wider selection of suppliers. »

    The version of NVMe is also supposed to be faster, but in reality, it is not much of a difference.

    I think that you need a motherboard with a socket m2 is to see a real difference in speed compared to the old version of AHCI.

    I understand that it is only the most recent Zx40 HP series range that supports readers NVMe but not sure 100%. It would certainly be a challenge trying to get one to work in a series of Zx20 HZ.

  • Windows 7 - Pci to Pci bridge (error: Code 10)-PCI video card

    Before that I declare my problems I will list what I'm running and I am trying to accomplish.

    I'm under edition 64-bit of Windows 7 Enterprise, not the Beta or RC. I have 3 video cards in my possession (listed below).
    -(PCIe) Evga GTX260
    -(PCI) Evga 9400GT
    -Evga (PCI) Fx5500
    Out of these 3 cards I only use the GTX260 and the 9400GT. I had to "retire" the Fx5500 because drivers latest WHQL (certified) only provided support as far down as the cards of Nvidia "6 series". Unfortunately the Fx5500 is a 'series 5' and falls below this line. I already tried to use the GTX260 and Fx5500 in earlier versions of Windows (XP and Vista), but there is no way to download and install two separate drivers for two of the same video card do - you will have nothing else to errors. There is the option to go to a place like guru3d.com and download a supported driver custom which covers both the GTX260 Fx5500, but drivers are not certified and lack support. Therefore, I bought and now use the 9400GT is covered by pilots for the GTX260, which eliminates the need for messing around with custom drivers. Also, the 9400GT has a better graphics processor and more memory than the Fx5500, so it was time to upgrade anyway.

    Now that you have some info here is my problem, whenever I have install the 9400GT as I get a second entry "pci to pci bridge" (the other entrance has no errors) that appears under "System devices" in Device Manager. The entrance of bridge pci to pci second has a yellow triangle with an exclamation point, which refers to a problem. When you check the properties of this unit it is more or less said that Windows has detected a problem (error Code 10). The GTX260 is still working and still comes in "graphics cards" as a GTX260, but there is no entry for the 9400GT. I tried the 9400GT in two PCI ports and each time it does the same thing. If I get out the GTX260 and ONLY operate the 9400GT, I always get the question of the pci to pci bridge, BUT I get a picture and can boot into Windows 7 without a hitch. When I do that it is still nothing listed under "graphics cards" as a 9400GT or even a VGA compatible device.

    After messing around with this for 10 hours (Yes, I said 10 hours) I decided to dig my retirement (the Fx5500) PCI video card. When I installed this card I had no entry bridge PCI to pci 2nd appear under "System Devices", and one that appeared had no yellow triangle or error codes. I then checked under "Graphics cards" and Windows 7 it was recognized as a VGA-compatible device and asked for drivers.

    Now, I have concluded that there is absolutely no problem with the motherboard or my material (including video cards). In a first time EVGA support and I had suspected that the motherboard may be bad because of all the pre-diagnostic steps I had taken during my test of 10 hours. I won't enumerate what I did because it would literally take 3 hours to type everything in it. Just believe me when I say I've tried many things including but not limited to the latest bios updates (flashed 4 times and reset to ensure accuracy), IRQ customized management, all OS X 2, multiple/latest chipset drivers installed, reinstalling video multiple/last drivers installed, memtest test, complete equipment disassembly and re - build (adding a device at a time) and MUCH more. The only thing I have not tried installing another OS other than Windows 7 64 - bit to see if I could reproduce the problem. It's a waste of time, but because that let's say I install Windows XP Pro and the 9400GT doesn't have this problem... Well, that's fine, but who cares on XP Pro when I used it for the last 9 years and when I have a version full of Windows 7 I want to use? I'm certainly not running XP Pro on Windows 7 just to use the PCI video card. Second, if I install XP Pro and it always gives me the same error of bridge pci to pci and then, I only lost more time than because if it s not to go to work or the other OS, then I m sure that hell will not leave XP Pro installed when I use Windows 7.

  • TC M51 sluggish after installed PCIe graphics card

    Well I went through 10 the 39 pages of this forum and the suspect, I have an answer, but still want to check with anyone in the know.

    I have a model of ThinkCentre M51 1843-wnv and put up-to-date with:

    2 GB DDR RAM (total now 2.5 GB) by Kingston

    WD Caviar Black 500 GB HARD drive with 32 MB of cache (SATA 7200 RPM)

    Map of graph SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 4550 PCIe with 512 MB of DDR3 RAM

    and I use a logitech (with USB to PS/2 adapter) USB mouse and a USB microsoft ergonomic keyboard

    I installed every update, one at a time to make sure things were ok.  Things were ok until I installed the GPU (last updated).  Now my system takes a long time to start and stop and the intermittent mouse jerks across the screen.  I wait a few seconds and he is well again.  It's as if there are not sufficient resources every now and then.  For a time that the office works very well and then a few minutes later he has a jerky behavior that erases then after a wait.  Start and stop are however still much longer than they were.  I have to go and make the coffee while it starts and stops.  But even this behavior is inconsistent.  Sometimes it starts and stops quickly, as it should.

    I wonder if the GPU and HARD disk are pushing the limits of my diet (310 watts).  Side of the box GPU stipulates that the minimum requirement is a 300 Watt power supply.  Mine is 310 Watts so I thought I was good, but the desktop is perhaps, with the large disc of HARD fast intermittently requiring more power than is available.

    Any thoughts?

    Is an upgrade of the power source easy to do something?  This will solve the performance issue? I've updated GPU, RAM, hard drives, USB and card faxmodem cards.  An upgrade of the power source is easy?

    Thank you!

    Well, how does it work!

    I uninstalled the sound integrated edge and also the SoundMax drivers and installed instead an his SB XFi Titanium PCIe card and voila!  not only do you have this problem, but I have now improved for my 5.1 system sound quality speakers.

    Why the built-in sound system would cause my office become slow after installing a video card?  How install PCIe sound card and turning off the sound of the mobo solves the problem?

    If anyone knows I really want to know how it works.  At the moment, it seems just as if by magic for me.

    in any case, I'm very happy.  My 2nd hand desktop Lenovo is a speed demon!  Movhorn thanks for your help.  Very much appreciated.

  • NB510 - boot from the SD card?

    Hello

    I have a question related to booting from SD cards.
    As my NB510 has no optical device, I thought to use an SD with Linux on it to boot from.

    The reason is that sometimes I need Linux and I don't wan to lose my Windows partition or another partition of my HDD with a 2nd OS.

    My experience is that more than one OS at a disk always causes unnecessary trouble.
    Unfortunately, it seems that the NB510 does not boot from the SD card.

    I created it with the Toshiba SD Memory Format Utility and "UNetbootin" to create a card with the last OpenSUSE Linux.

    When, in from the laptop and press F2 (or F12), all available drives be filed - but not my SD card (Yes, it was inserted). BIOS Insyde H2O also doesn't seem to provide the SD card as boot drive.

    So is it possible to get my NB 510 booting from SD card?

    Greetings from the Germany

    Hello

    Why you boot from the USB flash key t n?
    As much as I know the NB510 support the start of disk HARD primary, Network (LAN), USB, USB HDD and USB WEIRD memory.

    If booting from USB is certainly possible.

    It would be possible if the BIOS would provide such support.
    But as far as I know the BIOS support booting from:

    As you can see booting from Express Card is not supported.

  • What mini PCI WLAN card can be used on Equium A60 - 157?

    Hi, im trying to buy a wireless mini LAN card pci for my toshiba Equium A60-157... do not know what an I need or I can use? Thanks Carl

  • PCI vid card will work on MBs that have a PCI-E slot?

    I noticed that the PCI video cards will not work with a motherboard that has a PCI-e slot.  My ACER machine would use my GeForce FX 5200 (relented and bought a WG 220).  Now I have this HP Pavilion a1510n Media Center Edition 2005 that will not recognize an ATI Radeon x 1300.

    The PSU has more that required, Antec 380W Green (even a pcie 6pin).  I tried to change the main display in the BIOS to the PCI, but should not be.  Also tried to install the drivers, then change the BIOS setting, still will not take.

    I noticed that MBs with AGP are able to use PCI vid without the same question cards.

    Is it me?  Other people running into that?  I know its sad to not use the pcie slot, but I have to work with the hardware I have.

    Y at - it a trick to make the thing work?

    Found!

    Although I've been using a PCI video card, BIOS asked me to choose the PCI-E option from the list of video devices of the pcie, pci and onboard.

    The PCI option wouldn't work for the PCI in the vid!

    (HP Pavilion a1510n MCE2005-> ATI Radeon x 1300)

    Never thought to try that, but when I was watching the IRQ I saw that he was not part reserved for PCI-E.  It is the question of the nature of the PCI-E and so tried it because I was thinking about it.

    I hope this helps someone else.

  • Satellite L500 - light of Wi - Fi with another Combo PCIe Mini card

    Dear Toshiba

    I have 2 of L500-1UG notebook, with the mini PCIe RTL8187B card. (one 32-bit and 64-bit Win7 Home Premium)

    This card has no BT and is only 54Mbps and because the laptop is out of warranty, I bought RALink Tech 2 - card Combo RA3090BC4.

    Only open a notebook up to now, but I've tried the two RA3090BC4 in it.

    When I turn on with the Realtek card, orange wifi light long transfer Windows 7 starts

    When I turn on with the Ralink card, the orange wifi lights at all.

    Win7 32-bit Home Premium (downgraded for reasons of test development software) detects and installs the drivers successfully. I installed the driver for Ralinktech.

    Bluetooth installs fine and I transferred a 12 MB file, a mobile phone successfully.

    I swapped the son of black and white antenna (it is marked 1 and 2, not the hand and to the).

    What else can I check?

    Is there a compatibility issue?

    > Is there a compatibility issue?
    Probably yes. I guess you know that laptops have limited opportunities to upgrade and these upgrades are not supported at all. In the case that you are not happy with built in the solution of the WLAN card is the use of external devices such as USB WLAN cards.

    All pre-installed software are also designed to work with original equipment components. It is not easy to help in this case.
    I m also wondering how you can just buy a WLAN card and Exchange. I mean before doing this, it is important to check if these updates is possible or not.

    Let's see if someone else has a good suggestion that you can do to make it work.

    Hello

    I found the info that this unit is ready WLAN and is attributed to the WLAN option in option. Check please the Device Manager and see if the wireless adapter is listed under network adapter. If this is not the case, the device is without wireless network card.

    Let us know if the card is on board and we can write once again how the card must be activated.

    I'm not 100% sure but I think that the WLAN slot is placed under the keyboard. There is also the antenna cables (black and white cable). Update is not a problem, and you can only do so at your own risk of course. ;)

    Unfortunately I put t know exactly what WLAN card is compatible. If you want you can use the external solution. It is much easier.

    You can not.  Turning off the video of the motherboard when adding a PCIe card is a 'feature '.
