Product: HP Z2 Small Form Factor G8 Workstation RCTO Base Model
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

Hi,

 

I have tried to use the chassis fan connectors on the Z2 G8 SFF. Bought 2 small fans with 4 pins and put them on the board. When I start the system, the fans do work for a few seconds. Then they drop still.

 

I have searched the bios but did not find any way to enable the fans. Should I use some bios setup or motherboard jumper ?

 

HWMonitor of FanControl do not see the fans I have added.

 

I hope someone can help me about this.

 

Thanks

++

I have asked and no response yet.

 

I added HWMonitor to my own PC's utilities and I notice that the fans on my Gaming PC, which are running. are not seen by HWMonitor. That leads me to not having so much faith in the HWMonitor utility.

I see the chassis fan and secondary chassis fan connectors on the board. The simulator does not show and enable/disable option. 

 

 I will need to know the size and wattage of the small fans you have installed before I ask our SME internal contacts?

 

When you provide that I will ask the appropriate HP SME ( HP employee subject matter expert).

I will ask. 

 

You will have to remain patient, as Friday is not a great day for me to ask for help from an HP SME.

 

I made the request for SME support in the Inner Circle section today

 

I will update this reply or add one in your thread when I get a response.

Hello,, thank you  for this info. I have also tried "Fan Control" software. But it only show the GPU and CPU fans.

 

Have the experts on the matter have any idea to test or Bios setup to try ?

 

Thanks

Cyril
