I have the same issue with my Z600, I bought 2 X5680 and the bios keep saying that the cpu fan is week.
But I found a shop who is selling the same Z600 with these same CPU's:
So I imagine there is way to mount them so they work.
Anyone foud it ?

Thanks for the support. No, it was not the PCI-e adapter meant, but a SATA m.2 adapter like this one ... https://www.amazon.de/Icy-Box-IB-M2S251-Konverter-Geh%C3%A4use-Aluminium-Schwarz/dp/B01NCSW7ND/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1519302567&sr=8-3&keywords=m. 2 + + SATA adapter this will detect the m.2. In bios, of course, both m.2 slots are enabled with the m.2 SSD mounted on the correct slot (x1), otherwise not possible, since it is a 2280 design.
the SATA to M.2 adapter you linked to is compatable with your 2280 form factor SSD and should be attached to a SATA port on your motherboard
again,....the x1 M.2 slot is not suitable for SSD'S they will not work in a pci-e x1 configuration t hp configured this m.2 slot
on your model for low bandwidth pci-e devices, and also included a pci-e x4 M.2 slot for high bandwidth devices like ssd's
a SSD MUST HAVE a minimum of pci-e x2 lanes (or higher) in order to function
To the OP..... it helps if you tell us what version of the workstation you have. There is a SFF and a Tower version.
The SFF has a built in serial port on its backplane, and the capability to add a second on its motherboard via a HP proprietary second serial port adapter. The kit has had the name "Second Serial Port Adapter".... but if you don't have a port already built in on the backplane then it will be your First Serial Port Adapter.
The Tower does not have a serial port built in to its backplane but does have the exact same motherboard header as on the SFF, and the same header that HP has used for years on virtually all generations of its workstations. It requires a special HP proprietary adapter, which is powered from the HP proprietary header and which allows passing a ribbon cable back to one of the PCI removable metal cover spots so it then becomes availabel at the rear of the computer.
The serial port drivers are primative and built into the operating system. Plug and play.
The option number for that kit is PA716A. I have posted details on this in the past here, easily found, if you look up that part number via the search bar for this forum top left area. Look HERE, for example. I'd assume you can find those via the HP parts store new. You can see them on eBay via that part number. My posts here from the past provide added HP part numbers allowing them to be found used on eBay for roughly $10.00. They don't wear out. If you buy used from eBay know that you'll need the regular height backplane adapter for your Tower version of the Z240, and never buy without getting the ribbon cable... you need that plus you'll also need the correct backplane plate plus the circuit board component you'll see in the picture below or on eBay. That PCB is not shown in the PDF in the link above, by the way.
There are some computers that are consumer grade thta have a simple pass-through motherboard header, generic. This is not that at all. In the medical world some equipment still wants a serial port interface.....
EDIT: Found my numbers to help in your eBay search:
PA716A (Options P/N)
283984-001 (Spares P/N)
264534-001 (Assembly P/N)
Hallo,
habe bei einem Rechner das Problem das ein User ein BIOS PW vergeben hat und dieses niemand mehr weiß. Ich habe von meinem Kollegen erfahren das er von Ihnen in so einem Fall schon mal ein Tool bekam um das BIOS PW zurückzusetzen. Könnten Sie mir bitte dabei behilflich sein?
Danke und Liebe Grüße,
Innerlohinger
That helps immensely, Thanks! It is a Tower, so it has no original a serial port, but i happen to have a full slot back panel with a pair of slots, the inactive one will get a cap.
Thanks again!

Hi
Google translate?
HP have prepared rather lengthy documents,
and there are videos to watch, to cover, seemingly, all BIOS eventualities.

Hello,
i have a problem with a computer, that a user has assigned a BIOS PW and nobody knows them anymore. I have heard from my colleague that he got a tool from you to reset the BIOS PW. Could you please help me with this?
Thank you and best regards,
Hi
@DavidPK is the best person I think to help.
Sometimes, when you enter a wrong password 3 times your laptop will display a hash code, with this hash code it may be possible to generate a bios master password for your machine.
Hi All,
In the middle of implementing HPDM at a customer location. Using a server in a DC and a NAS onpremise for a local repository. Repositories setup succesfully and tests are succesfull.
Image Capture was succesfully, but pushing an image does not work. We keep getting this error on HPDM:
Failed to execute DeployImage task.
ErrorCode: 1083392, Error Info: ..\..\Task\common\ImageTask.cpp@255: Failed to connect the shared folder.
After logging in to the T630 and inspecting the wpeinit.log the following error shows up:

I am looking for a way to solve this issue. I asume i need to update some drivers? I found the winPE.tar.gz in the repository WESTools. But i cant imagine i have to update this one.
We are using HPDM 4.7 SP8.
Hope someone can help me out here.

Hi John!
Did you ever solve this issue? I am facing exact the same thing. Cant seem to find the solution though.
Hope you can help me out!
Kind regards,

Hi All,
No sure if this is the right forum to post this on but would appreciate some help or a direction.
Simple question. I just wanted to ask if anyone knows of a Thin-Client PC's option (such as the T530) could also be used as USB-C Docks for laptops.
The Use Case:
--------------
Exploring the idea of going VDI/DaaS across the board, there may always still be a use case for laptops such as the Elitebook x360.
Rather than having to have different deployment setups for different compute models (laptop hotdesks with USB-C Docks and Thin-Client hot desks for VDI), I was wondering whether thin clients such as the T530 could be deployed across all desks yet also serve as a USB-C dock for laptops to connect to and leverage the relevant connectivity, e.g. multiple monitors, USB hub for mouse/keyboard, etc. It would simplify the deployment model and mean a single device could be set on every desk which can support both user models.
Any ideas or suggestions on the viability? Happy to be pointed anywhere this has already been discussed (not been able to find it through search myself). Appreciate the help
Thanks in advance.

Very interesting confirmation from you - in regards to the 8x8GB ECC Registered having worked fine in your Z420! Was it the same freq i.e. 1333 MHz?
The BIOS was upgraded to latest (the version originally found wasn't that old - only 1 release behind).
The only thing I didn't get to try was to removing the cmos battery completely - used only the tiny push button but made sure to keep it depressed for about 1 minute :-). I did see the bios warn message stating that settings have been restored, even though the date & time were not reset. I guess that was fine 'cause the cmos was still having the battery available.
It is funny that nowI don't know what to trust as documentation reference - 2 HP docs or your setup + the other ebay e-stores who were basically saying the same thing as you i.e. PC3-1600R should work (they were both quoting the same freq/clock rate). Perhaps the 1333 Mhz in ECC+registered mode is kind of the lowest limit that z420 can go? But there are ECC+registered DDR3s that are clocked at an even lower rate, right?
Perhaps it was a defect after all and I am overanalyzing. The other funny thing is that I've sent an e-mail to the seller arguing that the issue was the wrong RAM :-). They will sort it out and I'll eventually get a working, stable replacement within a week. And I've ordered a Gigabyte GTX 1060 ITX mini 6GB video card to go with that, in the meantime :-)
Thanks again.
My kit was 8x 8GB 1866Mhz ECC Reg - exactly this one:
If you look in the auction you can see the seller added a Z420 bios screen showing the 64GB and the RAM being ECC Registered (ECC RDDR3) just as proof that it works. The Z420 is a C602 chipset and it supports ECC Registered RAM provided a Xeon processor is used. Since its a 4 channel memory architecture, best performance is using 4 RAM sticks (1 per channel) but frankly speaking whether you use 4 sticks or 8 it doesn't make any noticable difference to performance. Main thing is that all sticks are the same type / speed / brand ect.
With a E5-1650 v1 it run at 1600mhz, with a E5-1650 v2 it run 1866Mhz.
In your case the speed is definietly not the issue - 1333Mhz under normal circumstances would work entierly fine. Basically the machine doesn't care - it will run at the top default speed of your CPU or RAM whichever is lower.
Hi,
There is really no software to install while undocked, the problem happens even inside the windows mixed reality portal, we havent even been able to test with our own app.
I got in touch with support and they told me the backpacjk is only compatible with the HP Mixed Reality headset, so we ordered one, but no luck still goes black right after undocking the backpack.
Could you elaborate a bit more on your idea of installing the software again?
Thanks,
Alvaro
simply undock, then run the VRsoftware install program again
here's a test, docked run the vr program confirm working normally then shutdown and then undock and run the vr app again. does it work normally? if so then it's not a docked/undocked profile issue but most likely due to the video display resyncing when docking/undocking and the source of this could be the vr app or the video driver (or both)
once you narow down the culprit(s) contact them with laptop model/OS used/video driver buld and see if they can reproduce the problem if they can they might fix it
i think the shops listing the 5680 are either listing the cpu model wrong or perhaps they have a cpu(s) that are drawing less than the 130 watt max
from what i know about HP bios's (which is not that much) hp usually uses a simple table in the bios,... listing cpu's that draw to much wattage and when the bios see's one of these cpu's in the to high wattage list they halt and display the message to that effect
i can't confirm the z600 does this since this workstation bios is checksumed and hard to extract using common bios tools
the z600 is a very, very compact dual cpu box unlike the z400 so i can see HP doing the extra work in it's bios to prevent people from installing cpu's that would overheat the case if the system was fully loaded with cards/ram/drives/ dual cpu
Thanks for the reply,
But as I mentioned before, there is nothing to install; Windows Mixed Reality Portal already comes with Windows not as a separate installation.
Any other Ideas from @HPsupport team maybe?
acording to Microsoft it does have a installer
DGroves.... agree fully.
The Z400 can only ever run one CPU, but the Z600 was built to run two, and HP knew some would load them up with heat producing stuff. Of interest, with the Z400 it turns out you can run processors certified for the Z600 (95W X5675 and X5672 are the two fastest ones from the Z600 I've run in it).
I was checking to see if the on-processor memory controller would allow registered ECC memory that worked in my Z600s would allow that to also work in the Z400. No success.
With memory there are so many variables that I've pretty much stuck with exactly the memory that HP specifies to ensure that this part of the system is as reliable as I can get it.
Where is the place of origin for HP ProDesk 600 G2 Tower?
