so you have no setup as of yet? nothing built?
Sorry, I am actually working on a Dell 9020 SFF. I'm putting that as my hardware, is it ok?

Where it says motherboard in your profile. Enter 9020 SFF if that' what you're using. Thanks. Everyone starts out as a newbie, we've all been there before.Cheers! Guess I'm really a newbie... Still I'm learning a lot! Thanks

You can open the Intel Management Engine BIOS Extension or MEBx.
You access this by pressing the Control and P keys together at boot up. If those keys don't do anything, then it may have been disabled. This is not always easy to do. You have to press both keys at exactly the right time. If you can even get to the sign in screen then ME is enabled.
When Intel ME is disabled there are always problems with integrated graphics. So remove the GT 710, plug in a DP cable to your HP's back panel. Get a low cost DP to HDMI adapter if you need one. Then try programs like iMovie that require graphics acceleration. If they don't work it's likely that ME has been disabled. When testing this make sure the AMT setting is enabled in the BIOS. If it is disabled, graphics acceleration won't work, even if AMT/ME is enabled on your HP from the factory.
The only difference is that the 9020s have a software RAID option in the BIOS. The 16GB RAM limit on the 7020 is artificial. 32GB of RAM works just fine.Can anyone tell me what the difference is between these two models?
