Z220 Motherboard
Gordon Neal
Registered DIMM memory modules have a register component between the DRAM modules and the motherboard memory controller. When manufactured as a dual in-line memory module (DIMM), a registered memory module is called an RDIMM.
- Do not mix DIMM RDIMM and UDIMM types.
- Install DIMMs starting furthest from the processor.
- Do not install DIMMs if the corresponding processor is not installed.
- If only one processor is installed in a two CPU system, only half of the DIMM slots are available.
- To maximize performance, balance the total memory capacity between all installed processors.
- It is not required, but it is recommended to load the channels similarly if possible.

@HPz220c216 :
Yes, I can confirm, that it is not easy to get the NVMe module properly inserted into the original BIOS without creating a natively not present Pad-file directly behind/beyond the DXE Driver Volume. The problem seems to be caused by the extremely limited space within the compressed DXE Driver Volume,
Nevertheless I finally succeeded by inserting the "small" variant of the NVMe module with the MMTool v4.50. Here is the related picture:
@Fernando
thank you for your quick and detailed answer!
In the meantime I read some similar infos and decided that it was indeed worth modding the BIOS and I already managed to follow your guide and create the modded *rom file.
I did this for a friend, so I can only confirm success whenever he flashed my version (but I did all the double-checks you recommend in the instructions and it all looks good).
Thanks again for your quick support and your nice guide in the first place!
@Fernando ,
thank for your effort and hint.
yes it is possible to insert " small version" as you indicated and I actually did it but unfortunatly final modded file cannot be flashed in z220 HP.
I 've tryed to flash by means of native setup utility of bios with souce modded file on usb pendrive.
Once launched and confirmed the Rom flash procedure, immediatly an error message appears ( see picture ).
@Kaaybean : @simonhk : Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!
@Kaaybean : To be able to help you I need the original and your modded BIOS. Please attach them as *.ZIP archives.
@simonhk : There is not enough space within the DXE Driver Volume for the insertion of the NvmExpressDxe_4.ffs file. Additionally there is a Pad-file directly below the DXE Driver Volume, which may be moved by the MMTool. Solution: Use the UEFITool and insert the NvmExpressDxe_small.ffs file. This is what you should get:
Hi fernando,
Thank you for your quick response and help. My computer model is lenovo m73, any other easy method to achieve this?
Because i am not good at program and afraid that the mb would be crashed.
Do you want to get more done with you HP Z220 CMT Workstation? Unlock your maximum productivity by upgrading your Z220's RAM. With just a simple memory upgrade, your system will have noticeable performance gains in just a matter of seconds. The Z220 has 4 DDR3 DIMMs slots that supports a maximum of 32 GB ECC or non-ECC unbuffered memory. This system's motherboard supports 1600 MT/s memory speed. It is important to note that your system will run just fine with modules faster than 1600MT/s, but those modules will clock down to 1600 MT/s.
Cloud Ninjas offers upgrade packages designed to work with the HP Z220 CMT Workstation. To find the best memory upgrade package for the Z220, choose the desired RAM size from the list below. For lower end applications, we would recommend you choose a 16GB package. As for any higher end applications we suggest you select a 32GB configuration. No matter the application we recommend ECC modules for their superior reliability.
The HP Z220 CMT Workstation is a Single Processor system with 4 DIMM slots. There are two memory channels which are made up of two DIMM slots. This system does NOT support Low Voltage modules. You cannot mix the different types and speeds of memory. Doing so may cause unwanted issues, so it is best to use matching modules within your system. We put together our upgrade kit with this in mind, making sure we maintain consistency with the modules.
