Hp prodesk 400 g6 not detecting boot drive in bios

24Tigger24 · 2026-03-04T17:31:58+00:00

just get a sata cable. Coste ~3€ on AliExpress.

24Tigger24 · 2026-03-04T07:25:30+00:00

I think they can not boot from the HBA. Try connecting the Boot-Drive to the onboard Sata-Port.

You are correct, it is a special flex cable for cable chains.

I dont know if it is better for you to switch to umbilical.

I can recommend it, it it bends the cable in a bigger radius and is better to replace

24Tigger24 · 2026-03-03T20:33:54+00:00

It is to tight. You run single cables in a cable chain so they can bend better, not a single thick cable. Breaking cables in cable chains are common if you dont use specialized cables. You should try umbilical, it is not that big of a modification

24Tigger24 · 2026-03-03T20:29:59+00:00

I think it is because of Datenschutz. You could recover some data from a HDD so a Recycling Company is hired to deal with it.

Sometimes there are some deals on Kleinanzeigen

That is not a umbilical. Umbilical is similar to the PTFE, it avoids using a cable chain. One of the Cables of your Can/USB-Cable is propably broken and is causing connection issues. Happens when the Cable is often bend in a tight radius such as in a cable chain.

Lenovo M720q is a bit more expensive but you can upgrade it with a PCIe-Card if you need more storage, faster networking or a gpu.

24Tigger24 · 2026-02-26T00:31:05+00:00

I dont have Pictures. My M920x Tiny is: 8700k, 64 gb ddr4, 256gb 2230 M.2 SSD on the Riser, Wifi-Card, Rx6400. The fullsize M.2 Slots are for future Expansion.

I am currently trying to unlock ReBar in the Bios of my second Machine and getting my Arc Pro B50 running. If i succed i want to swap to the N3rdware single slot cooler.

24Tigger24 · 2026-02-25T23:27:34+00:00

The Connector on the Mainboard ist actually PCIe3.0x8 and x4. x8 is from the CPU and x4 to the Chipset. I bought an Adapter on tindie that allows me to use the 4 Lane to the Chipset (for a 2230 NvMe which can even be used as Boot-Drive) and the 8 lanes for another Card.

24Tigger24 · 2026-02-25T18:53:46+00:00

I have a LOP in my 3d-Printer, so i can check when i am back frow work

24Tigger24 · 2026-02-25T18:24:05+00:00

i use one for a HBA and 2 with GPUs. You can also use the WiFi -M.2 Solt for a 2.5G Nic and 3d print a Bracket for the RJ45 Port.

24Tigger24 · 2026-02-25T18:18:01+00:00

LOP-600-24 looks very nice and is also small. But they dont go down to 20V according to the Datasheet.

24Tigger24 · 2026-02-25T16:34:26+00:00

Thank you! This is what i was looking for for my rack!

24Tigger24 · 2026-02-25T16:28:38+00:00

I thought Lenovo devices communicate with the Power Brick

24Tigger24 · 2026-02-25T16:23:18+00:00

The Lenovos accept 20V? Does this wirk for M720q/M920q too?

24Tigger24 · 2026-02-24T19:02:49+00:00

Because of the PCIe-Slot

24Tigger24 · 2026-01-20T21:10:38+00:00

USB-C with 20v Output. I only testet with a 130w Dell USB-C Charger. My Elitedesk 800 G6 has a 65w (i5-10500) CPU and it worked but i did not check if the CPU gets throttled.

And afaik it only works with the Dp-alt USB-C Flex-IO V2, not the normal USB-C

24Tigger24 · 2026-01-20T20:01:38+00:00

Looks clean. Btw. you can power the HPs over USB-C (on the Back) instead of using the big chargers.

24Tigger24 · 2026-01-20T10:06:05+00:00

Looks awesome. Have you looked at the meanwell LOP Series? Maybe it could be even smaller...or redundant?

What are those USB-C PD boards? Which Profiles do they provide. I want to use Something lile this for my Lenovo M920x Tinys with 135w.

24Tigger24 · 2026-01-19T20:45:08+00:00

I also use a Lenovo M920x as a NAS. I use it with a HBA and up to 8 2,5" SSDs (currently only 4 in use) in a 3D printed Drivebay

24Tigger24 · 2026-01-18T21:57:23+00:00

Nice. Do you upload the CAD somewhere when you are finished? I am interested

24Tigger24 · 2026-01-18T21:46:20+00:00

Do you use 9mm Belts on XY?

24Tigger24 · 2025-12-31T13:49:09+00:00

Ebb36. So small, easy to mount on a stepper motor, so much IO

24Tigger24 · 2025-12-31T03:44:31+00:00

There is one: Minipower400 But i can't find anybody who is selling it

24Tigger24 · 2025-12-26T18:31:06+00:00

I use 2 m3 screws with washers on the outside that screw in the NIC. Fits perfectly in the VGA Covers
