Configuration Issues: D/X hardware configs – Use only the “Active” version HIB (AVID part number 7030-20084-01) Passive version HIB (AVID part number 7030-30021-01) should not be used. Use only the active HIB pictured below (7030-20084-01) Do Not Use Passive HIB pictured below (7030-30021-01) Page 5 of 9 Joe Conforti – Avid Technology – July 24th, 2009 REV A1 Qualified Avid system BIOS version(s): (As of this writing): If the Z800 has BIOS version 1.05 or earlier installed, it is mandatory that the BIOS be updated to an “AVID Qualified” BIOS. Failure to update the Z800 to an “Avid qualified BIOS” will result in non-optimal operation of the AVID software and hardware. - 1.06 (Minimum BIOS version for Avid environments). 1.14 (Qualified July 14th 2009) Required system BIOS settings for AVID environments: Please Note: CPU Hyper-threading is Disabled by default and should not be enabled on the Z800 for Avid environments. Z800 Required system BIOS changes: 1. 2. 3. 4. Set Memory Mode Interleave - Enable Set Runtime Power Management - Disable Set MWAIT-Aware OS - Disable Set Idle Power Savings - Normal - During boot up press F10 at the HP splash screen to invoke Set Up. - Select the Advanced tab Select Chipset / Memory.Select Memory Mode Interleave Default setting is Disable Change this setting from Disable to Enable Hi F10 to save the Memory Mode Interleave setting - Select the Power tab Select OS Power Management - Select Runtime Power Management Default setting is Enable Change this setting from Enable to Disable - Select MWAIT-Aware OS Default setting is Enable Change this setting from Enable to Disable - Select Idle Power Savings Default setting is Extended Change this setting from Extended to Normal - Hi F10 to save the Runtime Power Management, MWAIT-Aware OS, and Idle Power Savings - Press F10 twice to Save Save Changes and Exit System will Reboot Nvidia driver 182.65 is the AVID qualified driver for support of the new FX4800 graphics card. The previously qualified 169.47 Nvidia driver released with previous versions of Avid editing applications does not support the new generation FX4800 video card. Page 6 of 9 Joe Conforti – Avid Technology – July 24th, 2009 REV A1 ATTO UL5D issue: When an ATTO UL5D PCI-E u320 SCSI controller is installed in slot #5, the UL5D BIOS must be disabled or the following warning may be reported during system boot: (Also the UL5D BIOS must be disabled for proper operation when connected to an AVID VideoRAID RTR u320 SCSI). 110 – Out of memory space for option ROMS. The option ROM for the following device was unable to run due to memory constraints. If you choose to continue, one or more PCI devices may not work properly To disable the UL5D BIOS and eliminate the above warning, perform one of the following: A. AVID Knowledge Base article 273945, http://avid.custkb.com/avid/app/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=273945&Hilite=UL5D Install Atto UL5D configuration tool and launch the software. Expand the Express PCI UL5D menu, and click on Channel. The Boot Driver has to be disabled on both channels of the UL5D. Configure the UL5D per this screenshot, and do this for both Channel 1 and Channel 2 B. Or during system boot perform the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Reboot the system Hit “Escape” to clear the HP splash screen Hit Ctrl-Z when the following Atto UL5D BIOS message prompts ********************************************* ** ATTO ExpressPCI ™ Version 2.10 ** ***** Press [Ctrl + Z] for Setup Utility ***** Select 1 - Adapter menu Select 2 - Configure Both Adapter Channels Select Host Adapter BIOS Select “Disabled” using [Page Up] / [Page Down] Press “ESC” Press “ESC” Select 4 – Save Parameters and Exit Page 7 of 9 Joe Conforti – Avid Technology – July 24th, 2009 REV A1 8.) Nvidia FX 4800 monitor connectivity: The new generation Nvidia FX 4800 graphics card has a single DVI port and two Display-Port ports (Important: Display-ports are not HDMI ports, at first glance they do look very similar to HDMI ports) The HP Z800 includes one Display-Port-to-DVI adapter. HP P/N 481409-001 For dual monitor connectivity: 1. Use the DVI port and one Display-Port (Display-Port connection can be native display-port to monitor via display-port connection, or use the display-port-to-DVI-adapter supplied with the system to connect to a native DVI monitor). 2. Or use two Display-Ports (Requires monitors with native display-port connections, two display-port to DVI adapters cannot be used when using dual display-port connections). Display Ports DVI Port 9.) SR SAS storage connectivity: The Z800 can support two external AVID SR SAS local storage chassis: External SAS Port 2 External SAS Port 1 Page 8 of 9 Joe Conforti – Avid Technology – July 24th, 2009 REV A1 10.) Serial Port Deck Control: The HP Z800 workstation does have an embedded serial port. The embedded serial-port has been qualified by Avid and will maintain frame accuracy in Avid environments. A USB-to-serial-port adapter is not required unless the user requires simultaneous connection to two decks via a serial port. If the user requires simultaneous connection to two decks via serial port, the deck control for the 2nd serial port must be established via a Keyspan (Tripp-Lite) Model USA19HS USB-to-serial-port adapter. The 19HS USB-to-serial-port adapter has been qualified by Avid and will maintain frame accuracy in Avid environments.
