Issues after installing latest Intel Management Engine driver

Ever since installing the latest Intel Management Engine drivers on our new HP ProBook 640 G3's, I've noticed a significant increase in CPU usage by the Intel Local Management service (usually around 30%).

If I disable the service the CPU returns to acceptable idle levels.

 

Possibly related, we've had a small handful of PCs with Windows 10 experience a log file located at c:\windows\sysWOW64\gms.log grow as large as the hard drive allows. Sometimes a simple reboot cures the issue but one user with a ProDesk 600 G3 would have the issue come back every few days until we finally disabled the Intel Local Management service.

 

All affected computers have the very latest BIOS and Intel Management Engine driver installed. They are running the 1709 build of Windows 10.

Re: HP Z620: installing a third graphics card

Hi xberg,

 

What grapics cards are you looking to install?

 

If you look at my previous post (part 1) you will see a table listing the HP Z620 graphics 'constraints', i.e. maximum power, slots, etc.

 

The Z620 can support up to 4 graphics cards but only in specific configurations due to power limitations. However, I believe there is some 'wiggle' room regarding the total power of all the GPU cards combined, but caution must be exercised. At your own risk.

 

I'm sure your already aware, but if the card is 75W or less then you do not need auxilliary PCI power, i.e. the card is powered from the PCI slot.

HP Online store in the US won't ship many products to other countries. Please ask store directly.

 

Regards.

you would be better off asking hp support this question but as a guess i suspect that the regional hp  country divisions/stores only sell/ship within their proscribed area's so while you could buy a item from the us store from the netherlands, the shipping address would have to be a USA address

 

however as i said only HP suport, or the HP sales office can give you a definitive answer.

contact your local HP office and ask them

Re: Need to install Spectre/Meltdown Patches on a Thin Client??

Our ThinClients are using Thin Shell from HP and from this Shell the User is only able to start a RDP session with to our terminal server farm.

And as far as I know, the attacker needs direct access to a system to perform the attack.

 

But is it possible to boot from a usb stick and then hide some evil code somewhere in the ThinClient? And is the HP Write Filter working if you are starting form a custom usb stick?

 

I'm just talking about the ThinClients, not about the TS Server. That is another topic and I agree, that in most cases you should install the patches!

Hi Brian,

 

I'm about on the same page as you. I was just wondering whether you found a 3rd PCIe cable somewhere Smiley Happy

 

So far I successfully:

Ran a single R9 Fury which requires 250W (using both PCIe cables). Very stable.

Ran a single GTX 1080 (190W) using a single PCIe 8 pin cable (a bit dodgy as I'm using a 6 to 8 pin converter: 6 pin provides 75W and 8 pin provides 150W, but with the convertor is not a true 8 pin cable). Still far from the recommended 300W. This is stable.

 

Next test is the GTX 1080 + GTX 1060 (120W) taking it to the limit of 300W.

 

Note that the 300W comes from the fact that each 6 pin PCIe delivers 75W + 75W from the board. But my config is not balanced so I'll see if it works.

 

I guess in the absence of a hidden 8 pin PCIe I'm stuck with only 2 cards. 

 

Yesterday following the power cables out of the PSU I found one labelled G3, but I think this just brings the cables to G1 and G2.

HELP!! MONITOR KEEPS GOING TO SLEEP!!! I NEED IT TO WORK I’M AT MY JOB!!

I have a HP 251-a244 Desktop with an HP W2081d Monitor. I never have a problem with it.

Everyday before I leave work I usually SHUT DOWN the computer entirely. Yesterday I accidentally put the computer in SLEEP instead of SHUT DOWN. Today I turned on the hardrive, it turned on. But the monitor did not. When I turn it on manually, it seems like it is going to start but I never get as far as a black screen that says “DVI- NO SIGNAL, VGA- NO SIGNAL, Auto- Switch Source: ON, Default Source- DVI, Recommended Settings- 1600x900-60Hz”

THEN, within 5 seconds it quickly goes to a black screen with the message “Monitor going to sleep” & after 2 seconds the monitor is off again.

WHAT CAN I DO ?? It was perfectly fine yesterday & it would have been fine this morning if I had just shut it down instead of accidentally clicking “SLEEP”

OFFER ME SOME SOLUTIONS PLEASE !! I already tried to press F11 repeatedly it didn’t work. I also tried to press the “half moon icon” that stands for “suspended” i believe it is, i pressed that icon twice & nothing happened. I’ve tried to press the space bar & enter & move the mouse & click it repeatedly it did not work at all.

SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HELP ME

the z600 had two motherboards a B@ that only takes 55xx series and a Cx revision that takes 55xx/56xx series

 

this board has a search function, please use it before asking, since many questions have ben asked several times allready

I believe you are underestimating significantly the power capabilities of your two supplemental power cables.

 

You can download the latest (v5) Z620 technical and service manual for slot capabilities from HERE , and also could look directly on the label on your Z620's power supply.... the ATX standard you are using is lower than what HP uses for the two 6-pin supplemental PCIe power cables in the Z620.  By quite a lot.  The exact rated amperage for those two HP cables were not in any manual I've found, but are available right there on the label.  I agree on the two PCIe x16 "video" slots providing 75W up to the card.  Other slots won't have that same power capacity.  Note the small writing on the label that total 12V DC is not to exceed 800W, and they tell you all the items to sum.  If you use SSDs instead of HDDs you free up some wattage towards the total, and same idea if you are using 1 instead of 2 processors.

 

Here's a quote from a past post:  "The Z620 power supply is easy to release and rotate out so you can see the amperage label on the top for the different cables.... those two auxiliary PCIe power cables the OP showed in his original picture are "G1" and "G2" both on the plug end and the power supply label.  Each of G1 and G2 are rated on the power supply specs label at 18A 12V.  That's a lot of watts worth of power available through each cable if you do the math."  To save you from digging into your case here is that Z620 power supply label:

 

 

HP has 6 pin to dual six pin adapters and also 6-to-8 pin adapters that are engineered to do what you need (see link below).  You're looking at those two cables as garden hoses when they could be thought of as two fire hoses.  There is a broad range of quality of adapters for the plug ends..... the HP ones will be engineered to the top level.

 

Look  HERE for added info, and there are a couple of added links in that one that will get you to more details.  We've posted in the forum here on the HP part number for at least the official 6-to-8 HP adapter.

Hi,

 

What changes did you make other than installing the second processor?

My first time I have two Xeon X5570 I tested each working on a socket. and I installed two processors won’t boots. I think second socket is bad

Wow. That is amazing!

I really love what HP have done with this station Smiley Happy 

For some reason your photo was not attached: would love to see it and see this 18A. 216W on a single 6 pin is indeed amazing.

thank you for sharing so much knowledge!
