HP Recommended
Product: Z840 Workstation
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello,

I have a HP Z840 Workstation running Windows 10 (64-bit) and I want to update the Hardware Diagnostics. On the HP software and drivers download page there are 2 newer packages.

 

There is an UEFI download like the one I am currently using:

     HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI (Sustaining) System Software Manager Icon

     7.5.2.0 Rev.A       41.0 MB       Jan 23, 2020

 

But there is a much newer download, which is for FTP Only:

     HP PC Hardware Diagnostics Windows For FTP only (Win10/11 64-bit)

     1.8.1.0 Rev.A     283.1 MB     Mar 9, 2022

 

I am not familiar with the FTP Only  package. It is 2 years newer, so I assume it would be better to use.

HP does not offer any useful instructions on how to install it or how to launch or use it. Can anyone offer any advice on the product. Do you have to access it through an FTP connection? Is one better than the other?

 

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
