Re: SM951 M.2 SSD in a HP Z620

Brian1965,

 

I agree competely with the concept of "bewildering".  And in two aspects >

 

Disk:  The SM951 in the z420 has a Passmark disk score of 11559 and the difference to your 7891 is too great to be a variation.  This I think warrnats some study.  What are your storage and power option settings?

 

One thing though is that every time Passmark runs, the disk score drops. The first test of the ancient Seagate that arrived in the z620, the disk score was 594, and the third time it scored 495.  I decided to make a small improvement and an hour ago bought a Z Turbo 256GB AHCI, that will go into the z420.  With the Samsung SM951/ Lycom DT-120 moved to the z620, that should add about 11,000 points to the 495 mark. 

 

I was interested to see that the Z Turbo has a higher average performance than the SM951 and that must be due to the quality of the board design and refinement for use with an HP z.

 

Tesla M2090: The situation with the M2090 is very strange.  My local wind tunnel uses Teslas for Matlab flight dynamics simulations and they have staff that work out bespoke multi-thread / parallelization algorithms.  It occurred to me that the problem might be in the parallization stream synch, but Solidworks is said to have the best, fully scalar, rendering of any programme.  Only to eliminate it as a possibility, are the z620 BIOS settings to enable all processors? Also, are there similar settings in creating the Maximus (Quadro +Tesla) configuration?

 

Your Solidworks model and rendering are a work of art- well done and a half.  I've been trying to learn Solidworks for awhile for my industrial design projects, but never have large blocks of time.  I end up doing them in AuoCad. I have a book,"The Solidworks Bible" but it's more than 600 pages and I'm only on Genesis.  How did you learn?  Do you give lessons?

 

Here is a work in progress, a Sketchup test image of a 380m long, five story office / library / laboratory building. It's not much smaller than the island it's on.  This is the most complex single drawing I've ever done, in AutoCad to Sketchup on the z420 and will be translated into Revit on the z620:

 

Main Building_B_SW to NE_TST_sm _7.30.16..jpg

 

Quadro M2000, M4000's, and Proposed Sysem: 

 

I have high hopes for the Quadro M2000 as it's a bit more than half the cost of a Quadro K4200 and yet:

 

Highest Passmark 3D ratings:

 

Quadro K4200  (317 tested):    4895 

Quadro M2000  (12 tested) :     4671

 

The Quadro "P4000":  Thinking of your consideration for the zz620, the first two Pascal GPU Quadros , the P6000 24GB- said to cost $12,000, and the P5000 have been released and these are going to be specular perofrmers. What i'm waiting for however is the "P4000" ( or whatever it will be called) which, if true to form- that is performing as well as the next model up from the model it replaces and costing a bit more means it should perform at near K6000 levels but cost only $100 more than an M4000. 

 

M4000:  However, the M4000 is a strong contender to replace a K4200.

 

Highest Passmark 3D ratings:

 

Quadro M4000 (8GB)  (264 tested):    7234 with i7-6700K / ASUS Z170-A

___________________________    6934 with Xeon E5-1660 v3 / Dell Precision T5810

____________________________    6112 with 2X E5-2670 in HP z620

 

As usual, the GPU performance will be linked to the single-thread performance.

 

Average for the M4000 ($820 US) is 6402. For comparison a $3,000 Firepro W9100 is 6570,  Quadro K5200 is 6155. a GTX 770 averages 6149, and GTX 960 5916. So, the M4000 is actually in the upper end of the mid-level gaming GPU's. certainly, topping the $1,800 Quadro K5200 is good enough for as terrible draughtsman as I.

 

When the time comes, sell the K2200 in the z620, buy a used M4000, for the z420, and place the K4200 in that spot. When the "P4000" arrives, the price of used M4000 will drop- as will K4200's even more precipitously.  In the US already, they have sold for as little as $600.  I've had perfect reliability with the eight or so used Quadros I've had- I still use a 2004 FX 580 as the GPU in my server.  About three months after the introduction of the "P4000", might be a good time to change.

 

Proposed System: If you're interested, I've made some suggested workstation build lists on Tom's Hardware.  They have a semi-competition every year for the best build list by cost.  As 99% are gaming systems,  I add a couple of workstation ideas. See and scroll down to :  Workstation: Visualization 2D-3D CAD / Graphic Design / Simulation / Animation > $2,000
, which uses a Xeon E5 / Quadro M2000 or GTX 1070.  I also added lists in the $1,500 and $1,000 categories. The $1,500 version uses an Xeon E3 / M2000: The no forum handle in the name of your build, and avoiding odd capitalizations & symbols $1,500 Workstation. The title is due to the rules of the competition rule that were added because of the names I typically use. e.g.:  " BambiBoom PixelCannon Cadamodarendergrapharific iWork? TurboBlast ExtremeSignature SuperModel 8000®©$$™®£™©™_ 6.14.16 " = forum handle+ "odd capitalizations and symbols".  It's pleasant to know one's efforts are specially noticed.

 

If you'd like any other suggestions for the proposed system,  I'd be pleased to discuss it.  If you think it's not of general insterest, send a PM.

 

Where is your son studying? 

 

Cheers,

Hi and thank you for the valuable information,I was indeed following the information on table 3.3.1 and 3.3.3, so surprised why this error message 201 appears, I was thinking of possibility that the table shows population in 1 GB rams, but not two of 4GB rams so I assume the system may accepts four 4GB rams but not two,am I correct?  The charts show that you can use one module in Slot #1 and Slot #3.

 

Would this system accepts one ram of 8GB PC3 1333?and total of 32GB?  No, the charts show a maximum of 16 GB (4 x4=16).  Therefore, I wouldn't try using any other combination.

 

Thank you

I've two cards for my Z1.

But with K2100M the system didn't starting even in the safe mode Smiley Happy

Resp. this isn't drivers problem. Btw - these moves has been also - ineffectually

Moreover - i found vbios for HP and for Dell 2100M cards (in case with quadro was the same moments - any driver updates i've some time for adding few symbols to the *.inf driver file)

 

I, and I think many other people have wanted a system with a GTX and  Quadro. But,  I never saw a post that it works. 

Actually - not for me, but anyway - this experience should be OK for those who need two cards

Hi,thank you for the information,very much appreciated,can I ask few more questions about this error message 201?

It says in the manual on how to deal with this message is to enter setup F10,but it did not say what one has to do?is there other more detailed manual to look for?

If each module works fine in slot #1 but when both populated in slot #1 and slot #3 this error message happens what this suggest?

thank you very much.

The additional PCIe SATA III card is a Syba 2 Port USB 3.0, and 2 Port SATA III PCIe 2.0 x 4, SD-PEX50055 NON-RAID card, which I added since you only get 2 SATA III ports on the Z620 motherboard. I have both the SATA III ports on the card connected to an ICY Dock 2.5/3.5 inch Enclosure as shown below. I mainly use it for creatingbackups, disk cloning and as a project drive for video/3D renders and large Cubase projects. I don't use the USB ports on the card. P.S. My friend who is also a musician and into music production (Cubase) has the same dock so he'll record his album onto an SSD and send it to me to mix for him. (Search YouTube for Stevie Agnew if interested). I can comfortably stream 48 tracks of 96kHz/24bit audio from either 2.5 SSD or 3.5 HDD and still have tons of overhead for plug-ins, etc. No glitches. I use a Tascam US-1641 audio/midi interface.

 

ICY Dock.JPG

Did see a slight improvement in numbers regarding the SM951 with the Syba card removed but I consider the 2.5/3.5 dock to be one of my essential workstation components. Extremely handy being able to hot plug 2.5 and 3.5 drives without opening the enclosure or shutting down the PC, (and bypassing the USB ports).

 

Regarding the 2nd CPU bracket, I am sure I got mine with a brand new 2nd CPU riser card that was purchased. I bought my workstation on ebay which was listed as a dual Xeon E5-2640 system but when it arrived it only had one 2660 CPU and no CPU riser. Eventually the guy bought a brand new CPU riser and shipped it to me. I'm sure there was a slot in the pink foam packaging that contained the instructions and the bracket. Just found this on the HP website; NOTE: If a second CPU module is being installed for the first time, remove the metal slot cover for PCIe slot 1 from the PCI bulkhead. Replace it with the riser guide bracket, which is included with the second CPU module kit.

 

FYI, my son is studying at Teeside University in the north of England and has just completed his first year. Prior to this he was working for a video production company in Newcastle doing quite a bit of video editing using Edius Pro. Now he's mainly using Adobe AfterEffects and Maya for 3D work and PremierPro and Edius for video editing.

 

With regards to my PassMark score for the SM951 I think you are right in that it may be down to the ASUS PCIe card. I'm going to look into the post you gave for the UEFI boot to see if this is possible. (I still have a clone of my OS on the SanDisk Ultra II drive to no real panick if I mess up). I might need to consider a different M.2 PCIe card but will let you know how I get on. Hopefully give it a try this weekend coming. Watch this space . . .

 

Also, did some digging at work today regarding SolidWorks and rendering. It appears only CATIA, (Dasault Systems flag ship software), natively supports CUDA rendering. SolidWorks only natively supports CPU rendering which explains why it says there are only 32 render threads, (2x E5-2670 = 16 CPU cores, 32 threads). To get round this you need to buy SolidWorks Visualize which is a seperate stand alone photo rendering package that fully supports CUDA and second GPU cards. I suppose it's another way for Dasault to make money? Currently looking into a demo/evaluation version to test which I believe is available. The good news is that 2nd GPU cards are natively supported with all the Adobe packages and Maya. Next time my son is home I will get him to try rendering in Maya and PremierPro with the Tesla removed then refitted.

 

Unfortunately I can't see your SketchUp model (only the yellow triangle)? With regards to SolidWorks training, I was lucky enough to be sent on a 4 day essentials course, which as implied, gives you the very basics to get started. I'm sure there is copy of the course and some tutorial files on the web. The rest I picked up from watching YouTube videos (which there are plenty off). I just watch the YouTube video on one half of the screen and run SolidWorks on the other side and take it step by step. Learning one little trick, (like creating a screw thread), goes a long way. Like yourself, I was brought up using AutoCAD 2D and only started using SolidWorks about 11 months ago so I know where your coming from. Instead of thinking like a draftsman (using AutoCAD) you need to think more like a machinist to create a 3D model (using SolidWorks). If you download some SolidWorks sample files you can actually see how they are made by examining the branched menu on the left. (Tip: If you grab the bar at the bottom of the menu you can slide it up removing each feature. You can actually see the model being created step by step).

Wow. Just seen the 3D model you created of the building (after logging back in). I really like the overall shape and architectural detail you've created. Very impressed. It would look stunning if done in SolidWorks, as you can also do some cool basic camera animations in SolidWorks and output it as a standard video file to show a full 360 degree view.


Re: non LSI or Adaptec PCIe SATA-3 controller card in xw6600 for improved datatransfer of SSD

Then, go ahead and buy a PCIe SATA Gen III card, plug it in to the bottom PCIe x16 generation II PCI slot in your xw6600 and tell us all if SATA III feels faster than SATA II in the 5 Gbps PCIe Gen II slot.

 

It will cost you about 25.00 do do this..... you'll be able to find a good card for that price I'm sure.  It would be great to include some throughput testing, but I'm personally more interested if you "feel" any difference.  My guess will be no, because there are other factors in play.

 

Having worked extensively with the xw6400 and xw6600 and now the Z400 and the Z600 (all maxed out for speed) I can tell you that what I am seeing is exactly what I expected.  As you get newer the cost starts going way up for incremental improvements, and you will benefit from fine tuning your processor to the fastest, and your memory to fully populate all channels with fastest memory (to match the speed of your fastest processor)..... all this at a significant boost in cost.  Plus the cost of a faster video card to match the other improvements.  There will be an added "snap".

 

I like the new feel, but don't like how much it costs to get there.  No surprise.

Brian1965,

 

You have a quite refined system.  The external drive is a very good idea. I've looked at a number of enclosures but only have a  USB 3.0 / 3.5"drive enclosure which houses the WD Blue 1TB that arrived with the z420 when new.  That one is an Aluminum Startech and has a cooling fan- looks quite like a book. But, I have a Dell Precision T3500, the two z420's, a Precision T5400, and the T5500 all with two writers and I have used these as duplicators. 

 

I make quite a lot of CD's as I record live and with MIDI (Yamaha S90)  but is baby home stuff compared to your productions, which I'm listening to while typing.  Fantastic sound quality, balance, and love the music. The Tascam Us-1641 is aerious gear.  I used to use a pair of Tascam DAT players at the radio station and their stuff if really good. At home I simply run a pair of Neumann KM184's to a Peavey VMP2 valve microphone preamp to an M-Audio 192 "Audiophile" PCI  card which is 2in/2out plus MIDI I/O.  This is in an HP Elite m9426f with a Core2 Quad Q6600- 2.4.  Editing is Cakewalk Essentials - baby Sonar.  That setup never missed a beat as two channel audio is not hardware demanding. I had a radio program for in Los Angeles and made quite a few broadcast recordings on it.  I have three of the M-Audio cards and use them everywhere as they occupy the pesky PCI slots and leave the PCIe to devices that need those. These run  M-Audio 2.1 computer audio systems and the Z2300 works quite well. In my old loft office I had a McIntosh MR67 tuner and Cambridge Audio 640 CDP to Audio Research LS3 to an Audio Research D130 to Vandersteen 3A's,  but the speaker placement was terrible and I actually have a better stereo image with the little M-Audio satellites just behind the left Dell Ultrasharp 27".  The z620 however will only have an M-Audio z313 system- they're only $30! with a little subwoofer, and HP 2711x monitor.  I run a television off a Dell E520 and there's an M-Audio 192 and  z313 for the sound. the useful feature of these is that they have wired remotes with volume controls, and the z2300 remote has a subwoofer control and headphone jack. What do you use for playback monitoring in you audio work and for computer sound?

 

On the subject of the z620, have you ever used remote desktop?  In 2010 I had a Dell Precison T5400 and Optiplex 740 on a KVM switch and that was convenient as I could with one button change from one system to the other. I'm thinking that I could be using that to simplify running both systems from the single K/B mouse and monitors.  I could set up simulation, analysis , and rendering files on the z420 and then send them to the z620  to sit in the corner and work on.  It's possible too if the sysem is on, to use the system from anywhere via the Internet.  These use passwords but there must be an increased security risk.  Then I could include the HP 2711x in with the Dell Ultrasharps and have three monitors.

 

Last year, for the Precisions T3500 and T5500 which have PERC H310 6GB/s RAID cards, I looked into USB 3.0 cards and SATA add-onbut could never find one for which the user reviews gave me any confidence.  It appeared quite a few users went through three or so experiements. The reason is obscure to me, but as USB ( I think) works on PCIe lanes in the way of the antique IRQ interrrupts and shares them.  It may be that there is a reason the number of USB 3 ports is limited- using too many causes some latency as it's sharing PCIe lanes.  Still, that should be solved with dual Xeon E5's as each CPU contributes 40 PCIe lanes.  I see the X99 motherboards offer more SATA III and USB 3 or 3.1

 

Thank you for the information re: the 2nd CPU assembly bracket. I called HP parts and they had no listing for that part seperately nor is it listed in the contents of the 2nd processor riser package.  They suggested that was sort of optional, and I don't like the idea of that assembly lacking support at the back, but I went ahead and installed the assmebly and it seems reasonably secure.  I'll keep my eyes open for the bracket.

 

With the 2nd CPU and the Quadro K2200, the z620 is starting to come into focus:

 

Yesterday:  Passmark System Rating= 2304 / CPU= 14532 / 2D= 723 / 3D = 1665/ Mem =2709 / Disk = 538

 

Today:   Passmark System Rating= 2468 / CPU= 20083 / 2D= 731 / 3D = 3535 / Mem =2278 / Disk = 541

 

All the scores are a bit low, the CPU score average for two E5-2690's is 20826.  Such is the importance of the disk score.

 

What is suprising is that my $53 Precision T3500 still has a higher system rating:  Rating = 2567, CPU = 7303 / 2D= 680 / 3D=2022 / Mem= 1939 / Disk=921. 

 

thanks for the screen shot of BIOS.  I'm wondering though what is your BIOS version?  It's possible that with an earlier BIOS, the SM951 is not able to take advantage of the MLC memory controller.  Perhaps you have inwhich case never mind, but if not just to eliminate that as a possibility, you might consider update to the latest which is 3.88. See:

 

http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?sp4ts.oid=5225038&swItemId=wk_149656_1&swEnvOid=4059

 

It's slightly fussy, but I'm doing that tommorrow.

 

The final upgrade - for now- will be transferring the Intel 730 when the z420 has the HP Z  Turbo, plus changing the plastic exterior parts that are damaged. HP very usefully sells a kit of all the case plastic parts for only $56. so it wasn't worth buying only the two damaged ones (lower front panel and left runner (skid on the bottom) for $58. Later, I'll continue with the 64GB total RAM and sort the GPU's in the two main systems.

 

I very much appreciate your comments and suggestion concerning coming up to speed on Solidworks.  I've looked at sample files, read some, watched some YouTube, and played with the buttons a bit and have actually made some silly objects,  but I'm far from a methodical approach and able to do a complex project. My problem is that I spend a couple months only writing, then back to drawing in 2D, then writing, then graphic design, then 3D in a hurry which means bodged together Sketchup.  Sketchup is really infuriating - angles are accurate only to .1 degree and when the file has any size, it barely runs on a 4GHz Xeon and Quadro K4200.  With small stuff it's fast, and useful for feasibility studies, but does not produce high quality finshed results.  I would love to have done the building in Solidworks as it's quite machine-like anyway, intended to resemble a speed boat, aircraft, and F1 car all at once.  I'd like to learn 3ds, Maya, and After Effects properly too,  but will I?

 

A friend is a CATIA user- draws submarine interiors of all things and he thinks Solidworks is still the best industrial design/ rendering software and that comparitively it runs well on less than top end systems.  My local accelerator facility uses Siemens NX and that is becoming the industry standard for cars. They run NX on Precision T3500's with a Quadro K6000! AutoCad also runs well on medium-level  systems and I think is a sign of very high quality software.

 

It seems your son has quite a lot of great capabilities and studying a good se of applications, useful in a lot of fields industrial, commerical, and academic.  Have you had any first thoughts as to the uni system that might be done?  I suppose a z620 or a z420 with a single 8-core could be reasonable if there is GPU-based rendering involved or did you intend to build a system?  The good feature with the z620 of course is that the 2nd CPU can be added later.

 

A niece went off to study animation at the Pratt Institute in New York (no, it doesn't mean that in the US) but was not up to the pace of CAD modeling required and had to take a year off and come up to speed technically. When I studied architecture ( in the UK)  CAD was something only used by aircraft companies.  My first computer was a 1993 IBM 486 running DOS6 with Windows 3.1 at 50Mhz with 2MB of RAM and an 85MB HD.  That system cost $2,800, the 14" CRT monitor was $850, and the printer was $750.  When I changed the 85MB for the largest one made then-540MB, it cost $527 or $.98 /MB.  In those terms, a 1TB drive would cost, $980,000. The good old days of personal computers is now.

Hello,

I am actually looking on changing the standard workstation we use for our business and was looking exactly to this one (HP 280 G2 MT).
My questions are, when will the product go end of life? What is his predecessor ? (I need the model to compare the hardware changes so i know in case of upgrade what will change, i know it won't be the same when it will change for a new model but i want just to have an idea)


Kind Regards, Mario.

Mario,

 

The Predecessor is the HP 280 G1.  The highest rated HP 280 G1 on Passmark (14 tested):

 

Passmark Rating = 2214  CPU= 4931 (i3-4160 / 2D= 791  (Intel HD 4400) / 3D= 514 / Mem= 1518 (4GB) / Disk= 3403 (SanDisk SDSSDHII120G)  Theh best CPu is the i5=4590S: 7104.  The highest 3D is the HD 4400

 

Unfortuately, there is no test of the HP 280 G2 on Passmark for comparison.

 

So as to comment about the HP 280 G2 MT,  it would be useful to know the current systems and more about the use .  In general, the HP 280 G2 appears to be a very modern LGA1151 design and for general business use, capable, compact, and knowing HP, probably very quiet.  The Intel 530 Integrated Graphics is far  better than one might assume.  On Passmark baselines, an i7-6700 / Intel 530 system scored 988 in 2D and 3305 in 3D.  That does use system RAM, so buy a system with at least 16GB. For comparison the $450 Quadro K2000(4GB)  in an HP z420 scored 250 in 2D and 3535 in 3D. The 280 GT MT does have a PCIe x16 slot to add a dedicated graphics card and it can use up to 32GB of RAM- that will run 4 or 5 big programs at once with good sized files.  

 

However,  I don't see this as a intensive visualization system as the number of cores and the peripherals will be restricted by the number of PCIe lanes and slots due to the compact format. However, a good GPU could work wonders as the i7-6700 is in the top tier for single-threaded performance.  Teh Ig is very good,  but a dedicated card ill release the CPU and ssystem RAM for processing use.  Likewise, database or analytical / simulation will be moderate given the memory bandwidth and lack of ECC memory.  In summary, it's appears to be good, but sort of generic, all purpose system that could come into focus by adding a GPU and sorting the drives, an SSD or better yet an M.2 SSD paired with a good storage drive.  It will however, not have room for a RAID card, so connection to a server for backup seems a good idea. 

 

As for the future potential, the Skylake 14nm Intel is just starting, so there will be better ones, the advances in SSD and M.2 technology is making 1TB SSD at only $250, plus nVIDIA is releasing Pascal GPU graphics cards, that are compact and energy efficient- and fantastic performers.  I can see the 280 GT MT having a single round of upgrades at two-three years that could present a good potential for about 5 years' use.  Workstations have been amazingly reliable in my experience.  We have systems from 2007- Dell Precision 390 /E520, 2008: Precision T5400, 2010" Poweredge 2650,  2011: T5500, and (4) newer 2013 and 2015 HP z-series and every one has been 100% reliable.  We have never lost data.

 

In summary,  if you need to buy a number of non-specialized, compact systems with good performance, good potential for upgrade and moderate expansion, the 280GT looks quite good.  For specialized use, consider LGA2011-3 platform and a larger format.

 

If you would mention some specifics about the use- programs /priorities, budget, I could say more.

 

Cheers,

Hi, Mario:

 

The model that preceeded the 280 G2 was the 280 G1.

 

Here is the link to the quickspecs for the G1 so you can see what hardware the G1's came configured with.

 

http://www8.hp.com/h20195/v2/GetPDF.aspx/c04441676.pdf

 

HP is using a G# to designate the models now.

 

For example 280 G1, G2, the next one that comes out will most likely be the G3, and so on.

T610 WIFI Adapter doesn't work after ThinPro 5.2 Update

Hello Everyone,

 

we've a Problem. After we've updated a HP ThinClient T610 to the newest ThinPro Version (5.2.x) it doesn't recognized the WIFI Adapter anymore. I've tested it with another one, but even this one doesn't work.

 

Does anyone have an idea what it could be? Or is there a list with the supported WIFI Adapter on it?

 

It would be great if anyone could help us. We should provide a solution to the customer.

 

By the way: the adapter ist shown in the USB-Manager. But it doesn't recognize it as a WIFI Adapter. It's just there that i could redirect it to the session, not to connect to a Wireless-Network.

 

Many thanks!

Alex

Attempting to utilize the HP Device Manager 4.7 SP4 with the HPDM Enbedded HTTPS Server.  While pushing the agent to the device I get and error  - ErrorCode: 14004022

 

This error when I look it up is related to Embedded Window 7 CE device - It work on a Server with FTP and IIS installed. This shows that it is trying to write to the C:\Windows\System32 directory.

 

Also I'm not able to capture and Image from for the device with the HPDM Enbedded HTTPS Server software installed but I can with the FTP and IIS installed.

 

We were under the assumption that this was supported if you installed HPDM Enbedded HTTPS Server.

 

If this is not supported for the ThinPro 5 images please let me know.

How did you install Windows 10 on the NVME drives? If the BIOS does not see bootable media, it will not show it as bootable option
