I've just been given a Z840 and this is the best guide I've found on upgrading this rig. Thank you. If I can now solve the 517-Memory Fan error on boot I'll be a happy person.
@@seemasaiprasanthreddy1400 all our z800, z820 and z840 stations works 24/7 in server room. Didn't used 24/7 in usual environment but should be fine. Depend on noise level which you need and temperature in your room.
The HPZ840 manual calls for the Z Turbo Drive 1st card (M.2 ) to be installed in slot 1 first then slot 6, I also believe how many processors affects this. I am assuming that Z Turbo Drive is the HP version of an NVME adapter card.
Mainly because most games only utilize a single cpu socket. If you are using the system for business use ie CAD, Video Editing, Scientific computing etc, then 2 processors works well.
Hey dude, mine is not working, even that BIOS is v02.54, reading official info I see this: HP Z840: Single card configuration: Slot 1, Slot 6, Slots 3 & 4 (requires 2nd CPU) can you share how many processor you have installed?
when i plug nvme 970 evo plus on hp turbo z g2 into hp z640, fan rear is loud , run >2500 prm. when i used ssd sata , fan rear is normal. Please help me solve problem. Thanks.
You show a SIIG adapter- I bought a SIIG Full Speed M.2 M Key Nvme SSD to PCIe Adapter, PCI Express X16 Card- and Hynix Gold SSD... but can’t get it to show up... Does this only work with the Crucial SSD?
@@GreenPCGamerscom I can’t get it to recognize the drive at all, so can’t install windows 10 on the drive. Have the latest bios. Running right now of a regular SSD in the SATA drive bay... is there a driver or something to get the machine to recognize the drive? New windows install also made my LAN disappear... and FireWire stop working- had to turn on SMB1 in windows services- and find and install a legacy driver for 1394. So- might it have turned off or failed to install some other critical driver for PCIe SSD cards?
@@sneakpeekreviews4510 Nope. The HP Z840 I was trying to hook it up to turns out to only be able to run Nvme cards if you buy THEIR, special, Proprietary adapter. Which they want a LOT of money for.
@@christopherpardell4418 Thanks for the reply. I have the Z Turbo G2 adapter as a boot drive now, but its only 256GB. I just want to upgrade to a 500GB or possibly 1TB. The M.2 I installed in it now is a Sm951 I believe, could be a PM961 but it's a AHCI, and I was just wondering if I could swap it with the Hynix Gold NVME or for that matter any NVMe
You'll have to do some troubleshooting to try and resolve the issue. Double check the bios level and settings on the systems that are working and compare them to the systems that are not recognizing the SSDs. Also, try moving the NVMe SSDs from the working systems to the systems that aren't recognizing the SSDs to see if that solves the issue. Good luck!
We haven't tried Samsung EVO M.2 SSDs with the Z-Turbo PCIe adapters. Mainly because we can get the after market adapters so much cheaper than the HP version. Let us know if you try it.
I also replaced the motherboard AS # 618266-004 that broke down, with an identical one, which was announced for an HP Z840 but common to the HP Z820. In this case, a motherboard, compatible with both series, 820 and 840, I don't understand how it doesn't work.
So how do I install windows 10 on my SSD BEFORE its actually Installed? I bought an SK Hynix gold P31 NVMe ssd... anyone here know how to get THAT installed?
If you fail to get your drive to be detected after rebooting your system, try shutting down fully, and then restart your machine, to see if that works for you. Seems like a lot of ZX40 have that fault, I have 10 workstations at work, and half of them will NEVER reboot, but are fine with booting up from cold. Same Bios that has been copied into all the machines as well. Seems like a hardware fault to me.
296/5000 I bought an HP Z Turbo Drive G2, with a Samsung 512gb PM961 NVMe SSD for an HP Z820 WorkStation and I still can't get it to work as a bootable disk with windows 10. Only as a data disk. I don't understand why they work on the 440, 640, 840 series and not on the 820. What do I have to do?

Where abouts on the board is the HDD activity input (HDDACT_IN)?
Thank you for your visual guide on how to attach it to the adapter!
I think the nut goes on the SSD side FYI. So the drive's not getting bent down like that.
Thanks for all the great info and links!
Will a Samsung EVO SSD be supported on the Z Turbo G2 in the HP Z240 ?
Yes
at 4:53 it says HP Z640?? You do mean Z840 right?
This video applies to the Z440, Z640, and Z840.
Is it bootable on the HP Z800 ?
Please let me know
In Advance
Thanks
hello
we are using adapter to Install NVMe M 2 SSD it is fine .Any difference between onboard and adapter let us know please
NVME uses 4 PCIE lines so why? PCIE 16?
This is spot on, no reason to waste the PCI-Express 16x lane when one of the many 8x or 4x slots could have been used.
i also have the same question. And right he doent need the x16 only x4
Hi, Why do you advice only one processor V4 ? Thanks for your guide.
Mainly because most games only utilize a single cpu socket. If you are using the system for business use ie CAD, Video Editing, Scientific computing etc, then 2 processors works well.
Is it possible to boot the samsung 960 PRO or the 970 evo plus from that workstation?
Yes, both of those models should work fine on the Z840.

what is NVMe write endurance masking ?
That is a great question that we don’t have a good answer for.

Any problems with heat on m.2 drive? (Inventor large assmbly with about 50k parts and 5k occurences)
Not that we've run in to. You can easily install an M.2 heatsink if you run in to heating issues.
Would a Samsung EVO SSD be supported on the Z Turbo G2?

I have a z840 with an EVO 970 Plus 2TB. It works as a boot drive. Connected via z turbo g2 which I bought used on Ebay.

PN: 618266-004 is only made for a Z820.
I have a Z820, would that work too?
It won't be bootable on a Z820 w/o a boot assistant. However, it will work as a storage device.
and with a bootable adapter?@@GreenPCGamerscom
So how do I install windows 10 on my SSD BEFORE its actually Installed? I bought an SK Hynix gold P31 NVMe ssd... anyone here know how to get THAT installed?
We installed Win 10 in the actual Z840.

I bought an HP Z Turbo Drive G2, with a Samsung 512gb PM961 NVMe SSD for an HP Z820 WorkStation and I still can't get it to work as a bootable disk with windows 10. Only as a data disk.
I don't understand why they work on the 440, 640, 840 series
and not on the 820.
What do I have to do?
You'll have to use a boot assistant like Clover.
The Z820 only supports Z Turbo Drive (normally referred to as G1) and not G2. I have both workstations and the G2 worked on the Z840.
