HP Z8 G4 Maintenance And Service Guide

Solving hardware installation problems
You may need to recongure the computer when you add or remove hardware, such as an additional drive or
expansion card. If you install a plug and play device, Windows automatically recognizes the device and
congures the computer. If you install a non-plug and play device, you must recongure the computer after
completing installation of the new hardware. In Windows, use the Add Hardware Wizard and follow
the instructions that appear on the screen.
To open the Add Hardware Wizard, open a Command Prompt and open hdwwiz.exe.
WARNING! When the computer is plugged into an AC power source, voltage is always applied to the system
board. To reduce the risk of personal injury from electrical shock and/or hot surfaces, be sure to disconnect
the power cord from the wall outlet and allow the internal system components to cool before touching.
Table 6-1 Solving hardware installation problems
A new device is not recognized as part of the system.
Cause Solution
Device is not seated or connected properly. Ensure that the device is properly and securely connected and that
pins in the connector are not bent down.
Cable(s) of new external device are loose or power cables are
unplugged.
Ensure that all cables are properly and securely connected and that
pins in the cable or connector are not bent down.
Power switch of new external device is not turned on. Turn o the computer, turn on the external device, then turn on
the computer to integrate the device with the computer system.
When the system advised you of changes to the conguration, you
did not accept them.
Reboot the computer and follow the instructions for accepting
the changes.
A plug and play board may not automatically congure when
added if the default conguration conicts with other devices.
Use Windows Device Manager to deselect the automatic settings for
the board and choose a basic conguration that does not cause a
resource conict. You can also use Computer Setup to recongure
or disable devices to resolve the resource conict.
Type device manager in the taskbar search box, and then
select Device Manager from the list of applications.
USB ports on the computer are disabled in Computer Setup. Run the Computer Setup utility and ensure that Device available is
selected for appropriate USB ports under Advanced > Port Options.
Computer will not start.
Cause Solution
Wrong memory modules were used in the upgrade or memory
modules were installed in the wrong location.
1. Review the documentation that came with the system to
determine if you are using the correct memory modules and
to verify the proper installation.
NOTE: DIMM1 or XMM1 must always be installed. DIMM1
must be installed before DIMM2, and DIMM3 must be installed
before DIMM4.
2. Observe the beeps and LED lights on the front of
the computer. Beeps and ashing LEDs are codes for specic
problems.
3. If you still cannot resolve the issue, contact Customer
Support.
