• Clocked at 20 degrees warmer since putting on 3.87 Rev A Bios Update on Z420 Workstation

  I have a question:

  Not too long ago I put the Bios Update on A Rev 3.87 was considered to be as critical an update on my workstation Z420 (running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit), and lately I've found that the CPU idling at about 20 degrees more hot than before.  I used to hear creaking noises coming from the computer I learned normally come circuits on the motherboard power delivery, but as long as I heard those CPU would be on average around 50 degrees C at idle.  I hear these noises and now the CPU is on average around 70-75 degrees C at idle.  Not sure what the connection is.  HP performance Advisor tells me I'm in the normal range, but I want to just make sure that with programs like Autodesk Maya there, she become too hot and stop the machine.   I don't know what the temp high-end is considered maximum security.  This change could have due to the update of the Bios?

  Thank you for your response and suggestions.  I check in my BIOS power management settings has been developed the extended mode, but the temperature has always hovered around 70-78 degrees at idle.  I checked Intel spec for this (E5 - 1650 6-core xeon) processor, clocked at 3.2 Ghz by heart, and although he said nothing on the TMax, he mentioned that the TCase (which he defined as the maximum temperature allowed integrated processor heat sink (IHS)) was 64 degrees Celsius.  Now my temperature of the case, according to my HP Performance Advisor version 1.7.7517.0 is only about 24 degrees C, but I put my fan a little higher CPU, about 2009 rpm speed.  This makes a little more noise, but my CPU temp has dropped to about 49 °.  "" Before the change of the fan speed has been slightly more than 1300 RPM while the Advisor I have always said that it is in the range "normal".  Is it good to get the speed of the CPU fan like that or do I have to go a little lower?

• Change language of the BIOS of HP Z420 PC workstation

  Hello members,
  
  I use a HP Z420 workstation PC. I bought this by a French seller, the BIOS menu is in French. It is anyway to change the bios to English language?
  
  03.85 BIOS version
  American Megatrends V.2.15.1229

  P.S. This thread has been moved from workstations - w series, series z, xw and inherited management of Client PC HP x series. -Hp moderator of the Forum

  Go to HP.com, click on Support, download the drivers.  Put in Z420 in the product name, then select the workstation Z420.   This will bring up the page drivers.  Select the version of your operating system.  (This is the usual place to find drivers)

  Under "Software - management system" down load the utility BIOS Configuration (BCU) (International).  This tool will create a text dump of your BIOS settings file.  We can change this file, and then use the changed file to update the BIOS settings.

  In this file, there is a section for the "install language", with several languages listed below.  The language with the * in front of it is the one that is turned on.  In your case, remove it * before French and add it * before English.  Then follow the instructions on how to use this file to update your BIOS settings.

• HP Z420 serial programming

  I am still fairly new tech to the concept of tattoo map of the mother for HP calls.

  I tattoo a serial number to a replacement for a HP Z420 Server motherboard

  I boot from a flash drive with windows 98 and DMI files in a folder.  After getting the guest back I go to the folder of the DMI (5.03) and try to run NBDMIFIT. BEATS and get the error "code provider does not support in this package" - it worked before (so I think)

  What I am doing wrong?

  Also a question aside, does anyone else have trouble reading the string "byte feature?

  On a lot of the newer HP business desktop computers, there is no need to run programs to add S/N to the BIOS.

  You can see if this approach works on the Z workstations as it does on the new HP Elite 8xxx.

  After entering the Setup by pressing the F10 key, press on Ctrl + A to open additional fields in security > system menu IDs.

  Enter the serial number of your PC inventory and serial number of chassis number.

  Save the changes then and once when you exit the BIOS.

• Z420 HP: HP Z420 USB3.0 header pinout?

  Hello

  I moved my workstation to another case (Fractal Design R4) mainbaord z420 and continue to operate in the screen which warns me of different panels are not connected.

  So far, I was able to resolve problems with: Front Panel Audio, USB 2.0 and IEEE 1394 due Searchin' through the HP Forums and determine what pins must be connected to the earth so that the motherboard for the test.
  
  A question that I can't seem to understand / make disappear is "939-Front Panel Usb 3.0 not connected."
  
  I connected the cable USB3.0 of the case and it still shows this issue - by reading the forums I stumbled on this z420/z620 have a USB3.0 redriver .
  Should I have the original bench to pretend that usb3.0 is connected to the Commission? Is there another way to turn the motherboard usb3.0 is connected (similar to pins detect with audio and USB 2.0)?
  
  Given that the pc will run 24/7 as small file server, I don't really need before usb3.0 - I had rather have it starts normally after a power failure and need not be physical present to press f1 for it to start
  
  Any help on how to solve this problem is highly appreciated

  Here is the pinout of the connector USB front P29.  This is a blue connector keeled, with needles of 2 mm spacing.  The pins are very thin, much thinner than the other internal USB header pins.  Pin 20 is a key, that is, the PIN is missing.  This allows to understand the direction of the connector and pin codes.

  

  Pin 10 is detect the front USB 3.0 cable.  The cable IO before this PIN, so that the system knows that the cable is installed.

  If the 10 pin is connected to the mass, which means that it is the rider to pin 4, 7, 13, or 16, the system will think the cable is installed and it will not be a POST error during startup.  The pins are very thin and fragile, so it may need a rare jumper to do so.

  This work around is not recommended or supported, as it suggests the system cable is installed, and of course before USB 3.0 ports will not work.  As an employee of HP, I must say this.    ;-)

  Does HP Z420 support GTX 980 Ti GPU?
  
  There are some problems, I am facing
  
  1. I put GTX 980 Ti GPU and changing the corsair PSU AX 860i but system does not work on
  
  2 - when I put GTX 980 Ti GPU and power separately yet system giving the beep and the red light
  
  Separately the means - for GPU I use different and default system HP Delta PSU power.
  
  3. when I try to run GTX 980 it with HP delta PSU shows insufficient power for GTX 980 Ti system, it took more power.
  
  Well help me I'm not what I'm doing wrong here.

  I wish I had an answer for you, but I don't see anything else to try.  The BIOS settings you tried are what I would have recommended.

• Z420: Z420 different revisions?

  Hi all

  Question

  Are there two different revisions of the platform Z420 as with the Z400?

  I have two different pdf for this product and a list of the Sandy Bridge E5 Xeons with 1600 Mhz memory and another inscription Ivy Bridge E5 V2 Xeons with 1866 Mhz memory?

  How can we identify one from the other?

  Is this the same motherboard and just a BIOS revision that opened the compatibility with these processors and memory?

  Yes, there are two versions, the original "Version 1" and the "Version 2".  The original can run the Sandy Bridge Xeon processors that HP certified for it.  Version 2 can run the Sandy Bridge and more recent processors Ivy Bridge "v2".  A nice little article on the differences between these two generations of processors is linked below.  Again, assuming that you have a newer version Z420 you can generally only Sandy and Ivy processors listed by HP Brige can due to the firmware BIOS limitations built-in (there are rare exceptions):

  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2405317,00.asp

  A trick that works for most HP workstations is to search, for example, 'Z420 spare parts' in Google.

  Top results you see HP for that and noted in chapter of the processors of the Z420 there 700000 part number processors series with IB (Ivy Bridge) in the front as the available processors.  Note also to the bottom in the section below is a couple of 700000 motherboards part numbers.  This is the later Version 2 ones.  Le-001 is delivered by W7 installed. the largest number to W8.

  I do not have the date of the BIOS boot block simple differentiation between Version 1 to Version 2 for the Z420, but it's the best way to know if you have a.  The dates of start for Z620 and Z820 block are 28/12/11 for the original and on 06/03/13 for Version 2 motherboards.  Look in your BIOS under the first tab for this... Your Z420 may not have the exact dates, but should be close, and you'll know that.

  So, if you focus on the QuickSpecs and HP literature since the beginning of the era of 2013 you will start seeing Ivy Bridge being designated processors.

  You can watch the Intel 'Ark' site under the approved HP v2 processors to see if there is only 1 sSpec code, and if so, you can be sure you are buying a used the same processor upgrade eBay to if you go this route.  Search on eBay under the sSpec code when you found on the site of the Ark... it will be linked at bottom left of the cover page for each processor that you are looking for.

  I upgraded processors in Z400/Z600 workstations, but not yet a workstation ZX20.  Even proceeded, I'm sure, just more expensive.

• Part number for the serial port in option HP Z420

  I am looking for the serial port in option for the HP Workstation Z420, but in a datasheet, it is only mentioned as an optional serial port kit.

  What is the number on the right side of the product? The same for the workstation Z400 was PA716A, but it was not compatible with the new workstation model...

  I used the same part number, I used to model Z400 and it seems to work well.
  HP code is PA716A.

• Z420 beeps 6 times when starting

  Hello

  I use HP z420, who have no onboard graphics chip.

  I use a graph inserted in the slot PCIe card.

  I have just bios setting to disable all PCIe slots stupidly.

  When I reboot z420, it beeps 6 times, once per second.

  According to the manual, it says error pre video graphics.

  Is it because I have disable PCIe slots, and how can I activate them?

  Thank you!

• HP Z420 with Nvidia Gtx Titan

  Hello

  I considered buying a Z420, and I intend to use maps of Titan since I rendered by GPU, as well as the CAD uses and in real time. (Autocad, Revit and 3d Max). I've used a Quadro 4000 card, but it is certainly not useful for real time rendering.

  So in my case, a map of Titan is more advantageous. But today, I realized this of Nvidia Geforce series only is not supported for HP workstations. So, what should I do? Is there a way to use Titan with Z420? Should I look for another computer?

  Thanks in advance...

  GTX Titan uses the 250W peak power and NVidia said a 600W PSU enough Z420 has a 600W PSU. So unless you have something else really your Z420 (such as five 15 K disks without spin shifted upwards) - the lust for power, you should be fine.

  Personally, I have not used a Titan in a Z420 (GTX - 680 was the largest map that I installed) - once again - it looks good on paper.

  HP will not support it in terms of pilots or guarantee-, but it will take care the rest of the system.

  All that being said, a Z820 is a bit better suited to the Titan GTX...

• HP Z420: Z420 replacement HP Motheboard

  Hello

  The motherboard of my hp z420 workstation is a failure (problems with the slot machines, boot etc...).

  Now, my question is this: is the only option to buy another motherboard from z420 or could it be an opportunity to upgrade (for example, by buying a motheboard z440)? Even in the case of an upgrade, I would buy the motherboard only and keep as much as possible of the other material (including 8 of RAM modules).

  Some details on the motherboard

  Information box
  Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard
  Product name: 1589
  Version: Not specified

  Thank you very much!

  Hello

  There is a wide range of motherboards, however it takes a little research to find the right one for you, you must first find the plug your CPU requires, next, you will need looking for what you need for your motherboard, and finally, you will need to know what price you're willing to pay.

  Hope this helps

• Z420 - RAID + AHCI problem

  Hello

  using z420, Firmware is up to date, Windows 8 - with the latest drivers from HP Homepage.

  Storage mode is set to RAID + AHCI.

  Samsung 840 PRO SSD attached to the SATA Port 0 (AHCI 6 GB/s)

  2 x Samsung Barracuda attached to 3 + 4 Port SATA (AHCI / 3 GB/s) running RAID 1

  The problem is that my SSD is NOT detected in Mode AHCI (detected as IDE) - and hence the Performance struggles.

  When I detach the 2 Barracuda and change the storage Mode in the BIOS to AHCI only (without RAID) and restart Windows (driver AHCI enabled in the registry) the SSD is correctly detected as AHCI and offers a desired speed.

  Back to the RAID + AHCI the SSD is again detected in IDE mode.

  Is there a problem with RAID + AHCI Mode that the SSD is detected as NO AHCI?

  Hope someone can help me with that.

  Thank you

  Andreas Schnederle-Wagner

  well - I was able to solve the performance problem now!

  I replaced the rest of iaStorA.sys with the iaStorA.sys RST version - and now the system SSD full speed...

  I have attached 2 Screenshots - "before.jpg" watch my setup with performance problems. "after.jpg" my current setup with maximum performance!

  Only problem left is the name of the SSD paralyzed device - but I hope that it is not a problem...? ! ?

• Workstation HP Z420: Z420 Workstation troubleshooting in Windows Installer

  Dear expert HP,

  Thank you for your time

  I need advice to install windows 7 Ultimate x 64 on HP z420 workstation . I tried many things, but a mistake ((no driver device not found)) is always indicated.

  Like the attached photo.

  Do things that I have

  -RAID + sata to IDE mode AHCI passant... which is my only option

  -change the sata IDE compatible mode to improve

  -Disabling EFI boot Sources

  -Disabling the boot legacy sources.

  These measures all lead go me, i.e. no device driver were found. my best shot the installation continue but without a hard drive display for format or delete.

  All boards

  Thank you

  If you have more than 1 drive in your system, and you have RAID + AHCI set, you will probably need to jump in the raid BIOS controller at startup time (by pressing 'CTRL C' if I remember correctly) and define a virtual disk or VD (who can erase existing data, it should be notified).

  Then when windows install loads, you will see the virtual disk that you created earlier and can thus select the VD for the installation to continue. This assumes that the installation media contains the drivers for the raid (chipset) which I think is the case.

  If the installation disc doesn't have the required raid (chipset) drivers, then you will need to place them on a USB stick and point the installation using F8, how you see your VD and can continue with the installation.

  If all this seems too, you can delete everything except a HARD drive and then RAID function will be irrelevant, because it will fall back on simple AHCI. If you still don't see the only HARD drive, try and add the chipset drivers using the F8 method.

  I had similar problems on my Z210 and solved by using the default settings of the BIOS firmware, then created a VD and finally put Intels RST, pilot specifically the F8 on a USB key and during the installation of Windows process rush F * and singled out the USB where the driver saw and loaded at this time here my VD was visible so that everything could continue.
