The SSDs are not shown as a UEFI boot device in BIOS (v02.26)
After looking high and low online, I havent had any success with any of the 3 machines. I believe Windows 7 is installed on the disk, but I can't get the machines to recognise them.
The spec is 2 x Intel Xeon E5-2650, 64GB RAM, NVIDIA M4000 GPU, Turbo Drive G2 SDD
Can anyone help?
Why I am not familiar with the Zx40 line, taking into consideration the lack of replies and on assumption that there are some similiarities to the Zx20 line, go into the bios and see if you have the following options or similiar:
PXE Option Roms
Mass storage option roms
Video Option roms
On the Z420 these are in the 'Advanced' tab in the 'Device options' menu - make sure they are all set to 'EFI' and not 'Legacy'.
In terms of the bios do not worry too much about the device not being visible - it may just apear as 'Windows Boot Manager' assuming that there is a UEFI boot partition on the drive.
