problem with HP Z240 workstation

[saidbe]

I have a problem with HP Z240 workstation .

it takes 15 min before the HP logo appears.

i have done all the basic work (change cpu/ram/ CMOS clear..etc)

Bios problem?

Re: problem with HP Z240 workstation

Go into your bios setup and note the setting of your drives / boot order, etc.

Note the location of your drive cables and remove them all. Then power up again. Does this allow for your logic board to boot up faster?

Perhaps one of the drives is causing this delayed power up. We have seen this with older boxes with RAID support and at least one of the drives was failing.

thanks for your reply.

i had a bin file from other computer, i reprogramme the BIOS. Now it takes one minute to appears HP logo.

One minute is not normal and I get now this error:

ERROR: SOFT TEMPORARY DISABLE: To enable ME, check Active Management (AMT) option in Setup (F10)

The bios you tried may be from the same type of PC but you can`t just swap it and expect it to work ok.Part of the bios contains firmware called Intel Management Engine ,or ME for short.When the intel PC/laptop is first booted the ME firmware is married to the chipset,its then called "initialised". The bios needs the ME firmware "cleaning" .Post your original and new bios in the "BIOS & Schematic Requests!" forum here and someone will sort it out for you - https://www.badcaps.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=15

Thank you.

But one minute is long for appearing hp logo.

I will post the file in the correct section.

Can I do it self? Some guide maybe

Yes there`s a guide - https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=88533 .Use MEAnalyzer first to check which ME firmware version you need, then get the tools and firmware and follow the win-raid guide https://winraid.level1techs.com/t/gu...lization/31277
