Hi all;

I've got a HP ThinClient 620plus that I'm trying to fire up but the monitor gets "no signal" when using the AMD FirePro 2270 Graphics Card DMS-59 and the supplied DVI-i via DMS-59 cable.My monitor has both DVI-D input and a 15-pin f/male connector

 

The monitor and cable works fine with my desktop in both DVI and 15-pin input

 

I wanted to try connecting the 9-pin male serial port to the monitor 15-pin but I can't find a 9-pin f/male to 15-pin male cable or a 9-pin female to 15-pin f/male gender converter so I could use my existing cables.

 

So, what do people use to connect this thinclient to monitors? Or better still, what should I be using?

 

Thanks, Norm

 I was working last time I did maintenance

 

I tried different driver scans and the results are no new drivers needed.

I also searched within the compter with same results.

 

Thanks in advance

Hello Scott,

 

This is the only reason both the Samsung 950 (and I hope the recently released 960) and Asus Predator HyperX are able to work on older systems.

 

I'm not sure of any other M.2 that offers legacy BIOS support, though there may be a few.

Hello,

I have Dell Precision T5600 workstation and I want to buy M.2 PCIe SSD to boost performance and the best M.2 drive I found so far for price/speed is this:
M1F73AA HP Z Turbo Drive G2 256GB PCIe SSD

But, I've read in the description of the drive that it is compatible only with HP workstations, so my question is is it going to work on my Dell, which is:
Precision T5600

motherboard:  DELL 0Y56T3, chipset:  Intel C602(Patsburg-A)

OS: Windows 10(64bit) Pro

Bios: version A14

 

Thank you in advance.

Interesting, are you working with ProTools? I am a music and audio geek myself :-)

With regards  to the graphic card, I guess you are right. Based on your description, It is highly unlikely this would have caused the error. The issue could therefore be narrowed down to either a faulty memory module(slot), processor(socket) or in the worst case, the system board.

Anyway, I assume that your new Z840 will operate flawlessly.

Hi,

I need help with installing hasp driver on workstation Z440.

Well problem is that when I’m installing driver my machine HP Z440, get's blue screen.

I attached you pictures of screen. Installing starts but when it's need to be finish blue screen appears.

I tried older version of hasp driver 7.50, and I reinstall windows 10 pro 64bit, but problem stays.

I even try win7pro sp1, problem is the same.

I do have other machines, e.g. dell Optiplex 7010 and on that I normally installed hasp driver!

 

Thank You!

Nenad

Nelson,

 

There is a big difference in the engineering of the Kingston HyperX Predator M.2 PCIe SSD, an AHCI SSD (nothing to do with ASUS to my knowledge).  The controller on the PCB is an AHCI controller.

 

In the Samsung 950 Pro their approach is an option ROM built into card that supposedly emulates UEFI.... it is not that they have AHCI and AHCI BIOS built into the hardware.  Read the section in their white paper here HERE.

 

http://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/downloads/document/Samsung_SSD_950_PRO_White_paper.pdf

 

Whether that is supported in the xw or the ZX00 generation of workstations is yet to be seen.  Maybe it will be wise of you to ensure that you can send things back if the 950 Pro does not work.  I have seen no posts where people report getting that M.2 SSD to work in the Z400/Z600/Z800 workstations.  You also might want to contact those Aussies at RamCity.com.au for some advice.

 

There was an earlier Samsung M.2 PCIe SSD that came in two versions, one of which was hardware based AHCI....

SDH,

 

It wise to be careful with M.2 on HP worsktations before the zX40 series. 

 

I'm using M.2 drives in a  z420 and z620.  The z420 uses a Samsung SM951 256GB on an M.2 to PCIe adatper (Lycon DT-120) and the z620 is an HP Z Turbo Drive, also SM951-based.  The other important feature in common is that they are AHCI, which apprently still need to be the case if they are used as the boot drive.  Both oF these systems have UEFI BIOS and the drives installed and were recognized and usable immediately.  The Z Turbo was from an unused z230 and when I connected and started it, in a few seconds it displayed the Windows  7 screen: "Using your computer for the first time."  The HP OEM Windows apparently automatically activated.

 

It is GPT formatted by the way which is very welcome- I wanted to gradually shift everything over from MBR to GPT as I'm partition oriented as a kind of filing system: active projects / libraries / media / archive / system recovery / etc.

 

However with zX00 series, looking through Passmark systems baselines for z400. z600, .z800, which total almost 1,800 systems tested, there are only two using M.2.  These are z800 and both use Samsung SM951 AHCI.  There are number using other PCIe drives- OCZ Revodrives  though, not M.2. 

 

A poster here did update his z620 to UEFI and uses a SM951 and with the Passmark Listings, it must be possible on the z800 at least.  I have been looking for results for NVMe on zX20 systems and did find  a z420 and z820 using SM951 NVMe and two Intel 750 ()400GB and 1.2TB)  but still very rare.

 

With the Z400, z600,z7800, it seems that with updating to UEFI they can then can use M.2 AHCI,  and if the Samsung 950 Pro has a special onboard legacy BIO, UEFI module, or whateve reuired, that would be a very welcome technology.

 

I do wish Samsung would provide clear descriptions /list / directions for compatibility and installation regarding NVMe . - Perhaps I'/ve missed it.  The HP zTurbo Drive probably workied instatly as the support site documentation is very good and apparently the drive has been optimized for HP z. In the listing for the  Z Turbo drives that are NVME, HP clearly states that they are for the zX40 series.

 

Cheers,

BambiBoomZ,

 

Chaos reigns on this topic..... there is so much to learn and so much mixture of correct and incorrect informaton.  Please note that the comment "With the Z400, Z600, Z800 it seems that with updating to UEFI they can then can use M.2 AHCI"  is incorrect.  These workstations do not now nor will they ever have a UEFI BIOS.  These will always only run on good old legacy BIOS, as will the xw generation of workstations.  The Z420/620/820 workstations, however, can swing both ways.

 

What lets Brian run the Kingston HyperX Predator M.2 PCIe SSD as a boot drive in his Z600, in its M.2 to PCIe adapter, is the fact that its on-board controller is the AHCI type.  Therefore it can be seen in the Z600 BIOS as a drive, and can be selected as the boot drive from there.  Please see Brian's BIOS boot order picture  HERE with that Kingston M.2 drive at the top.

We'll get this figured out eventually, and as always thanks for your excellent input.

Christophe,

 

Welcome.  Many of us using boot SSD of any type have a larger documents drive and a smaller boot/applications SSD (be it 2.5" form factor, M.2 form factor, etc.).  It is easy to fill up a lot of drive space with "documents" be they music, photos, videos, etc.  Are you sure that you don't have a lot of such files sitting idle on your boot drive?

 

There are easy-to-find methods for shifting the automatic save-to library for programs to your documents drive rather than your boot drive.

 

I have been using Acronis True Image 2014 and 2016 as a method to clone from a HDD boot drive to a SSD boot drive.  I use an external eSATA attached drive as the target for the Acronis image to be saved on to.  Once that is done then I can clone back on to a larger or smaller SSD and the program upsizes or downsizes automatically to fit properly to the new drive.

 

You'd want to set up your original HDD and the documents HDD so you shifted the libraries (My Documents/My Pictures/My Movies, etc.) over to the documents HDD before this process, of course.

 

We have some pretty powerful workstations built like this but never ever get anywhere near what you have on your boot drive right now.

I have a GF 970 which demands a 8pin and a 6pin pcie as the Z820 only supports 2x6pin I used an adpater 6->8

I read somewhere that the 6pin HP Z620 will deliver more then 150W which is the rated power for a  8pin

 

now I have the issue that in some games my  screen is going black at start and I can still hear some sounds but basically I need to hard reset the PC then

 

In these games it happens all the time e.g. GTA V

other games are fine

Christophe,

 

I finally again located the web article that, in my opinion, best instructs on how to most safely modify your libraries so that the individual files created by applications automatically go to libraries on your documents drive rather than filling up your 2.5 inch form factor or M.2 PCIe form factor boot SSD.  The article is  HERE.

 

https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/support-software/Moving-Windows-7-8-Libraries-184/

 

Puget Systems is a high end company here in my region, and their support pages have an amazing collection of very valuable articles, which are searchable.  The one here is what I used to set up all our SSD based workstations that also needed a documents drive, and I used the preferred method detailed by the author.  The documents drive, of course, can be another SSD or a large HDD.

 

Make sure to keep about 20% of a SSD/M.2 SSD free from files for best performance (or officially use overprovisioning).  I believe overprovisioning is supported by the M.2 SSD software that comes with the PCIe based SSD that Brian is using in his Z600.  I have one of those coming now for testing on the xw and ZX00 HP workstations....

, welcome to the forum.

 

Here is the Maintenance and Service Guide for the computer.  On Page 40 it states as following:

 

Power supply ● 800 W Gold, 90% efficient, wide-ranging, active Power Factor Correction, two auxiliary dongles on two separate 12V rails, ERP 0.5W, Built-in-Self Test (BIST)

 

The two auxiliary dongles (power connectors) are apparently on separate 12V rails.  Therefore, it leads me to believe that you should have enough power to run the GTX 970 using the 8-pin adapter.  However, since it works with some games and not GTA V, it may be that it is far more video intensive.

 

Here is what it states about Graphics cards:

 

Graphics cards
● PCIe Gen3 (PCIe3) bus speeds; can support two PCIe Gen3 graphics cards in PCIe3 x16 slots

● Up to 225 W graphics or computer card in the primary graphics slot

● A second graphics card in the second PCIe3 x16 slot

● Third and fourth 2D graphics cards in additional PCIe2 slots

● Combined power consumption of all cards cannot exceed 300 W (subject to overall system power limitations and configuration restrictions)

 

If you haven't done so, you should check for patches for GTA V.  The developers leave it up to us to correct problems that they should have fixed before releasing the games.  I have had games that would restart the computer before installing the patches.

I already found out the problem and solution

 

its not a GF970 issue its an issue from my HP envy32 media desplay

 

I guess when there is no signal anymore for a short time he is switching to other not connected input

 

I disabled automatic switching

 

solution for my black screen was simply reselct hdmi on media desplay or turn media display off/on
