HP Z2 Mini Workstation G9 Can't see boot menu

[Swaldow]

We purchased 25 new HP Z2 Mini Workstation G9 systems, I have an HDMI monitor connected via the DIsplayPort on the PC, when I boot to Windows everything displays fine but when I try to access the BIOS by pressing F10 at boot nothing displays. The PC beeps when I continously press F10 so I know it's at the BIOS screen but I can't see anything.

You can't see boot info on external monitors because those don't display until the Windows drivers are loaded, and those drivers don't get loaded when booting into the BIOS or UEFI settings.

Thank you WAWood. Do you know of a way to boot so I can get into the BIOS and/or boot menu?

[WAWood]

Every PC is different, but if you repeatedly press one of the following keys while booting, it should bring up the BIOS/UEFI menu: Esc, F2, F8, F10

I understand that but the problem I'm running into is that the screen isn't displaying anything. I can hear the beep which means I'm in the BIOS or boot menu options but I can't see anything.

OK, if this workstation is connected to a monitor using a cable, then try a different cable.  If there is still no display, then you would have to swap in a different monitor.
