HP z420 , Does it support Nvme drives ?
I want to know if the HP z420 support Nvme drrives on a PCIe adapter.

Re: HP z420 , Does it support Nvme drives ?
Yes, they do.
Some of them comes with a NVME stick on a PCIe card as a boot drive in Z420's. HP call them Z Turbo.

Re: Deploy cached image for Thinpro via HPDM Not enough memory
This function is supported by the 4.7.12 agent. So please make sure you have agent version 4.7.3674.36390 on target units.

Re: HP z420 , Does it support Nvme drives ?
rodgers answer lacks critical information/details
Samsung "DID" make the xp941 and sm 951 (AHCI version) ssd's for the HP Turbo "Z" which could boot off of the zx20 workstation line they, however have been out of production for many years now and are very hard to find used and when found are quite pricey same for the samsung 950 pro, and one other ssd model (predator as i recall)
the current HP Turbo "Z" G2 card uses the same pci-e card as the Turbo "Z"
but the SSD included is the samsung SM951 NVME version,
and the nvme ssd's can normally only be used as a data (non booting) drive
if you need to boot off the SSD you can use a SATA based SSD, or a PCI-e card/ssd that supports apples gen 3/4 ssd's or use a software method called RUFUS/DUET there are one or two other options but they require skills most normal users don't have so i will not list them in this forum

Re: Bad storage drivers for HP Z4 G4 (8JK46EA) - Loooong booting times
you need to be aware that the Z4 G4 can be ordered with two separate motherboards one for the intel i7 cpu's
and one for the xeon cpu's each motherboard uses a different chipset
the software you mention is for the intel chipset, not the storage device and yes the intel i7 based Z4 G4 uses this chipset
however if you have the Z4 G4 "Core X" XEON based cpu model, then you must use the chipset driver for the xeon chipset

Hp Z620 cpu upgrade
Hi, I would upgrade the cpu I have now Xeon 2640v2 @2Ghz with 2680 v2 or 2690v2 to have more core and Ghz.
I have 2 questions:
1) do I have to upgrade CPU sink?
2) compatible processors are only ones in this list? https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjQ1ZaJlLvqAhWM5KQKHbdWDmAQFjAAegQIBhAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fzworkstations.com%2Fsite%2Fassets%2Ffiles%2F7051%2Fhp-z620-datasheet.pdf&usg=AOvVaw17JXE-EGiyd6yE_wVkErJH.
for example 2696v2 is not listed while you can find in the list 2695v2 and 2697v2

Re: Hp Z620 cpu upgrade
You must have the version 2 Z620 since you are running a v2 processor. Not sure from your post if you want to run two of the new processors or one... please clarify.
Power draw for the three you listed:
2640 v2 95W
2680 v2 115W
2690 v2 130W (my recall is that the stock Z620 heatsink/fan is rated up to 130W, but read below for a tip)
The power draw for the v3 and v4 processors that will work in the ZX40 tends to be higher, and the stock heatsink/fan for that next generation has higher cooling capacity. If you are going to run only 1 processor in your Z620 you can buy a Z640 heatsink/fan off eBay for as low as about 15.00 and get almost twice the cooling capacity (in terms of fin surface area) that will screw right on your socket. I do that in all my Z620 and Z420 high end builds. The fan plug end has 6 holes instead of 5, and you just hang the 6th hole out in space when you plug it in to the 5-pin header on the Z620 motherboard. It is just an extra ground jumper not needed in the Z620/Z420.
Bambi and Brian here likely will help you greatly, shortly. They have mastered the highest end performance in these workstations. Yes, there are other processors than on the list there, which is from 2015. Not all you think would work will work, however.

Re: Hp Z620 cpu upgrade
Thanks for useful info!
I did a better check, I have now installed a xeon 2650 v1 (single processor). How can I check wich version I have of Z620? (I didn't know there were 2 versions sorry)
My bios informations says: SKU LJ450AV

I am totally aware of that, now and when i bought the computer. I have already mentioned that i have the Xeon version and the soft pack i mentioned is not the chipset drivers as you say it is, it´s the storage driver: Intel Virtual RAID on CPU (sp99573.exe)
When i installed the chipset driver i used the Intel C422/X299 Chipset Driver (sp97039.exe)
The question is not about chipset drivers, the question is about why the Intel RST drivers install themselves as a C600+ /C220+ series chipset SATA RAID Controller on a computer with a C422 chipset? (The Intel Core i7/i9 Z4 G4's uses the x299 chipset)
Trying to figure out if this is what causes long boot times.
HP Product number for my computer: 8JK46EA
Processor installed: Intel Xeon W-2245

RAID monitoring software for HP Z2 Tower G4?
Hi all,
Is there any software I can use to monitor RAID health on an HP Z2 Tower G4? I have 2 RAID 1s set up but unlike servers I couldn't seem to find a suitable program for it (e.g. HP RAID Array Utiity).
Kind regards,
Bry

Re: Hp Z620 cpu upgrade
You have the later boot block date. You can read up in here on the two different versions and the boot block date found in BIOS is the key info on v1 versus v2 of the motherboards. There are some other ways we've posted about in here also.
Since you are running 1 processor, which many of us do, you can really learn from Bambi and Brian because that is what they do too. They both hold some Passmark speed records with that approach and some special methods. My discovery that the larger heatsink/fan from the Z440/Z640 is cross compatible with the Z420/Z620 is significant, but those two are using liquid cooling and some gentle overclocking. I just have not had time to master the overclocking they do, but will eventually.
Take a look on eBay for 749554-001.... that is what I'm using.

Re: Hp Z620 cpu upgrade
very nice news, thanks.
I have a tesla k40 running in my system and I have the impression of a bottleneck. I will search for a 2667 v2@3.3Ghz that is an Ivy bridge with full pci 3.0 support and I hope i a speed improvment.
I will also see for the heatsink you advise.
I will let you know

Re: Bad storage drivers for HP Z4 G4 (8JK46EA) - Loooong booting times
is the bios configured for a raid?
are you using multiple ssd's in a raid configuration? if not then the VROC feature does not come into play as the driver does/will not load and only the normal RST driver is active the xeon motherboards chipset is a superset of the i7 motherboards chipset
if you check the device id's you will see that a VROC raid has a different ID than a non raid
i have never seen a RST driver cause a pause in loading the OS, you might want to look at the windows logs and also do a clean instal without ANY other software or drivers loaded note the load times and then add drivers one by one and note the result, and then do the same one by on for your applications
no other persons are/have been reporting long load times in this system so it does not appear to be a hardware or software issue with the default OS configurations for this model workstation
you can use the HP cloud recovery to download a copy of the HP windows 10 which includes all of the drivers hp uses for their default win 10 OS install of this workstation

Re: Hp Z620 cpu upgrade
If you are planning on installing 2off CPU's, then the E5-2667 v2 is the fastest of the range. You could add one CPU initially, with the option of adding a second CPU at a later date if required.
You will definitely notice a major improvement in system responsiveness and speed if upgrading from a E5-2650 v1 CPU to a E5-2667 v2. The E5-2667 v2 CPU also supports up to 1866MHz RAM, whereas the E5-2650 v1 can only support up to 1600MHz RAM. Check what RAM you have installed if you haven't done so already. The stock HP Z620 heatsink can be used for CPU's up to 135W power.

Windows 7 install
Having problems installing W7 pro from dvd. Asks for missing cd/dvd driver. Guessing it may be SATA controller issue. How can I tell which controller I have?

Re: Windows 7 install
Hi:
It should be one of the ones that I zipped up and attached below.
Unzip the files to their folders and copy the folders to a USB flash drive.
Have the flash drive in a USB port.
There should be an option to load the driver when you get to the required CD/DVD driver is missing message.
Browse to the first folder and select the driver file. If you check the box, it will only include the compatible driver.
If none is found, go to the other folder instead.

Re: Windows 7 install
I also have seen some HP workstations that had a stock HP SATA optical disc reader that did not have a proper driver included on the optical disc..... and swapping in another "known-good" HP optical disc reader allowed me to boot using the same disc. Remember that your OS for the install only can include drivers that are on the install media you are booting from.
This trick has worked more than once.
