try another brand M.2 SSD if it works, either the SSD is not compatable or it's defective (try ssd in another system, if it still will not format it may be defective)
you can try a 3rd party formating util like DBAN and see if you can do a low level format/high level format
Kovah,
You have been working hard at this project. The answer to your question is yes..... if you had access to the white bar code label from that motherboard you would find beneath 708610-001 the added SP# 708610-006, and off to the right would be the AS# 618266-003 or 618266-004. Those both will only be version 2 Z820 motherboards. So, yes, that is another way to be sure you are getting a version 2. If it is a used motherboard you won't know if it is licensed to use the HP OEM COA installer kit until you try it.... odds are that it will. If it is virgin and you need to brand/tattoo it you'll want to get back in touch.
Swapping the motherboards is pretty much plug and play..... I take some pics and also gently remover the cables from the original motherboard and use good tape to get them taped up and out of the way along the sides of the case during the transplant. don't put strain on them, just good firm taping. with no sharp bends. If you're lucky the seller will send the motherboard screws still attached but you also can harvest those from the original v1 also. Take a pic so you know where they need to go.
Take a look at the earlier trials and tribulations some went through before this all got sorted out on page 1 of the thread HERE .
This still can be very confusing. I remember Dan_in_WGBU (our favorite HP engineer who used to help us here) post that the AS# needed to be 618266-003 (and now we know also -004) before one got a version 2 Z820 motherboard. There is the original version 1 AS# 618266-001 and also a later version 1 AS# 618266-002. I finally found confirmation that 618266-002 is truly a version 1 Z820 motherboard. In that link above the poster "not applicable" details his efforts and failure with that specific motherboard to get V2 processors to work in it, and states specifically that it has the 2011 boot block date in his second post there. Here is a picture of that version (which you don't want). Note that its SP numbers on the left are up in the 7 range, but not as high as the v2 motherboards -003 and -004:
Good luck on your project... keep us posted how things turn out!
Darn, 708610 boards with an AS# below 003 do exist then. I'll wait to see if the seller can get back to me on the serial numbers. If I can get a board replacement for around 200USD i'd be happy
My Z820 is also running a non-OEM version of Windows Server 2016 Standard so branding isn't really an issue.
That's a photo of the machine right after I reassembled it after testing the new CPUs, as you can see this machine is pretty loaded up right now and i'd really hate to have to tear all of it apart to swap boards if I even manage to find one, but oh well.
Hello DGroves,
I appreciate the help you have tried giving but after trying these methods you have provided I have sadly not gotten the results that I am looking for. If you have any other methods that I could try I would greatly appreciate it!
No No No! See, I told you it still is confusing and this is an example.
That is not a set of 708614 Spare Parts numbers you see on the left. Those numbers do start with 7.... look closer....they are 708464-001, -501, -601.
In the ZX20 version 2 motherboards HP looks like they got rid of the 708614-005 option (W8 Standard.... who wants that?).
So, you're still good to go by getting that motherboard as long as it really has 708614 as the "prefix" on the left. You would be a fortunate fellow to get it for 200 USD. Agree that branding is the lowest priority, but it is nice. I have a Z440 project I'm working on that is Linux branded but have a spare used Z440 motherboard that I'm hoping is W7Pro/W8Pro branded.

windows Hibernation goes not allways work as it should some people can't enable it and others like you can't come out of it
it's been my experence that the root cause is usually a windows task that is preventing it from being enabled and a crashed or hung task that prevents wakeup
my best advice is to backup all data, and reinstall windows, (skip media pack for now) then before any service packs/ms updates check Hibernation and see if it works. if so make a system restore point and install any service packs and again test and make a restore point if it works
now do all of the other windows updates in small batches of 10 to 20 updates and again test/restore point continue till all updates applied or a batch prevents Hibernation then narrow down the batch of updates to locate the problem file
usually all of the MS updates wil apply and Hibernation will still work, if so now do the media center, and test again this time you may have a issue if so let me know if not do the applications one by one again doing restore snapshots each time till everything is installed
bottom line, a clean reinstall will usually fixany Hibernation issues
Thanks again for the replies. I've been investigating the BIOS options you both mentioned. I've tried 3 different BIOS versions (starting with default settings) and have not managed to get VT-d working, with settings as expected or reversed.
I installed MS Windows in order to use the HP Performance Advisor Software. It confirms I have the updated motherboard (0B54h) which tallys with the BIOS block date, and from the HP Specs in my intial post, this SHOULD mean that I have the C2 stepping.
However, it turns out that Xen identifies the 5520 chipset as faulty on boot and disables Interrupt Remapping. I also confirmed in my dmesg log after booting Xen, that indeed, I appear to have the 13h version, which is the B3 stepping.
I rather suspect that's the end of the line as far as using this Z600 for virtualisation. This 55x0 chipset issue seems to affect the whole range of Z400/600/800 machines as far as I've read, and I can't find any evidence at all that anybody has had success with Vt-d on any of these machines.
I've got QubesOS v4 working with PV instead of Vt-d, but that wasn't really the goal.
Good luck to anybody who stumbles upon this thread following the same expectiations I had!
The HP Z800 supports Registered 16GB (2H 2009) quad rank PC3-8500R and PC3-8500P 1067MHz DIMMs
http://h20331.www2.hp.com/Hpsub/downloads/Mini_WP_Z800_memory.pdf
Is this today correct or can i integrate Registered 16GB1333MHZ ECC DIMMs???
most ram modules will have several speeds programed into them and if the system does not support the higher speeds, it will then use a lower speed in your case almost all 1333 ram has a lower 1067 speed programed into it
got it? using faster rated ram in a system that does not support it will cause the ram to run at a lower speed which the system supports
the z800 supports both ram speeds when using 4/8/16 meg Registered ECC ram
reread the pdf file you linked to and note the diffrent requirements between the unbuffered and buffered (registered) types of ram you can not mix unbuffered/registered ram in a system
After flashing the bios from windows environment the computers stalls during bios boot.
Old bios version : M60 v01.16
New bios version : M2.47 Rev.A
After sereval reboots I get only a black sreen....
Then try to flash the bios with USB (replaced the Boot Block Recovery jumper).
Getting the 8 beeps (one time) and usb is flashing for about 20-30 sec then stopped and get the 8 beeps cycles again wich won't stop anymore. Checked the procedure several times, and followed exactly the steps. Having only one memory and proccesor on the board with everything else disconnected didn't work either.
Also tried different USB formats and ports, different bios versions but the oldest version I can download is 2.32 Rev.A.
So I can't go back to the original installed bios M60 v01.16. Anyone perhaps have een old version ? I cannot believe I should replace the whole mainboard for a corrupt bios. Any other suggestions are welkom too.
P.S. sorry for my bad language (i'm from Holland)
Hello! Everything worked out. Computer settings after upgrading the processor are awesome! To my surprise, the temperature of the new processor was significantly lower than that of the old one. The first hours of work are impressive! The cooling system is completely original. Thermal grease used KPT-8 (ordinary). In the screenshots you can see the results of the upgrade.
Thank you very much for your support!
We have shipped some HP computers to China but now they are stuck in customs because they need CCC certificates. Where can I download these?

Anytime.
Glad to have been of assistance, and thank you for the detailed report of the successful CPU upgrade!
Hi All, I have a titan X and looking to get the 2080ti for offline realtime rendering in UE.
Would this card work on my z800?
It seems that it needs 8 pin x2
My titan is currently using 8+6
please let me know
thank you
Fred
if you have titan x and it works...then definately 2080ti will work with no problems...its much newer and more power optimised!
check if you have the supplemental power connectors...or you may have to replace the PSU as well!!
Good luck!
It was a pleasure to work together! Thank you very much!
I just took delivery of my brand new Z2 Mini G4 with performance chassis and Intel UHD 630 integrated graphics, and I am having the same problem.
There are three DisplayPort ports in the back, and only the one on the bottom works.
Did you ever get this resolved? I have already updated the display drivers, and I don't see any BIOS options that relate to the DP ports.
Hope you can share some good news.
Hi team,
Please help me, i have problem with Z420 Workstation PC that get error 110 out of memory space for option ROMs. First i had follow manual to disable all uneeded ROM (such PCIe 3,4,5, and 6), also i reset the BIOS by plug out CMOS batery for more than 5 seconds. I had try swap HD, RAM, and VGA card but there is in good condition in other PC. Is this fault related to the motherboard ???
Please suggest
thanks
