Hello,
I have been using HP Z2 mini G9 in mass quantity since September 2022 and I think it is valuable to share my findings, through testing I have found a semi okay solution.
The problem is that with an out of the box HP Z2 g9, you cannot access the BIOS, from either the Nvidia Card ports or the Displayport on the motherboard, there is no way to access the BIOS.
A solution I have found, has been to open the Z2 and remove the Nvidia Graphics card, and then by using the Display ports on the motherboard chipset, you will have access to a POST screen and the BIOS menu.
To make this a permanent I have discovered that the easiest way to keep this fix, is to reimage the machine with a whole disk image, otherwise whenever an Nvidia graphics card is mounted, you will lose access to the POST screen and BIOS.
It would appear HP still doesn't have a elegant solution, and to be honest, if we were to continue using HP Z2's in enterprise deployments, one should become available soon. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this without my above listed method?
