Z840

Hi,

I have a Z840 with the following specs:

P/N: M3U63US#ABA

- 1 CPU E5-2680 v4 on Socket 0

- 128GB DDR4 RAM on slot 1,2,3,4 for 1 CPU config

- AMD Raedon R7770 on slot2 (CPU0 3x6)

- The Power supply passed the BIST test (solid green LED and fans on)

The system can power on but it does not seem to boot. All fans are on, Fan on VGA card is also working. 

There is no signal on the monitor. No beep, Front and rear LED are solid white.

 Here are what I tried:
- Remove all RAM and turn it on => Beep 5 times, and red LED flashing
- Put the RAM back, remove VGA card and turn it on => Same behavior when the VGA was plugged in (Power on, fans on, no beep, white LEDs)

- Try with other VGA cards (Quadro NVS 295, Quadro FX380): Same behavior with the R7770

 Can you please help me find out what could be the issues with my WS?

Does Z840 support non-HP VGA cards like mine?

 

Thanks,

Phil
