I recently got a HP z400 which works great and i put a Dell PERC card and 2x 18TB SAS drives in it and all is good, now i want to use that 3rd HDD bay but can't figure out how you mount a drive in it, am i missing some special screws?

You need some screws like these.
Standard there are some spare installed in the case, but maybe they are gone?



Edit: spares are installed in the front of the HDD Bays

Hi I've managed to find decent priced Quadro P4000 card which already sits in my HP Z230 ready for testing to replace my M4000. Can anyone help me out with the latest BIOS I can upload there? Mine is 86.04.A7.00.09 and what I found is 86.04.56.00.0B as the latest one. Can anyone confirm?

And if P4000 is flash-able at all? nvflash which modded successfully my M4000 doesn't even see my P4000 GPU and NVIDIA_UEFI_Firmware_Updater says it is unsupported. Pls advice

Yeah it keeps working indeed plugged to PCIe slot just like that with no problem. All benchmarks passed so it is just my curiosity what BIOS and what characteristic it is as I know it is some custom made for specific engineering or medical applications
