it's most likely (if the nameing is correct) that this model came out after HP did their certified cpu list, or it may be a model that was made for OEM use only, or as i said hp simply did not want the...

Hi, OK, so W10 works fine, as I expected it would. You would have to use the W8.1 driver for the SAS controller, as I don't see a W10 driver listed. What would do to instal this driver is to download...

yes, the drive controller should be set to Raid+AHCI (which is the default setting) setting it to IDE will result in the slowest drive speeds possible on the two blue SATA ports, and prevent the intel...

If you look at the screen shot, the driver for the SAS controller is not installed, which is why I suggested installing the W8.1 driver. Unless it gets installed via Windows update.

again, the lsi 2308 driver is part of windows 8 and higher and will be installed during the os install unless the LSI bios is disabled from within the z820 Bios menu

Gotcha. So what you are saying is the SAS Controller is showing up as an unknown device because it is probably disabled in the device manager. Normally a device shows up under the Other Devices...

sigh,.....no i did not say the device was disabled in device manager. if it was, the entry would still say SAS/SCSI or LSI 2308 "disabled" what i did say is that it's possible to disable the boot rom...
View ArticleRe: "Locate the boot controller" in the HP Z820
Then it is missing the driver as I originally posted and clearly W10 did not natively install it. Since there is no W10 driver for the LSI 2308, I suggested the W8.1 driver be installed. How can the...

Peter, Here are some added points: HP has a part of the BIOS that contains a white list for processors, and that has been called "the microcode" here in this forum. Thus, just because a processor...
