Can't run 4 monitors on HP z400 workstation

Hi, I need help with a 4 monitor setup. I have an HP z400 workstation with two PCI-E slots. I tried a Nvida Quadro FX 1800 and PNY GT9500 and that only ran 3 monitors. I then tried 2 of the FX 1800 and that only ran 3 monitors as well. I have spent a lot of hours with CDW tech support and still no luck. I need the Experts for this one. I need to run 4 HP 24" monitors.
Thanks

So if I have 2 display ports on each card, and I have display ports on the monitors I just need to use 2 monitors to each card using the display ports. That might have been the issue since I was using the DVI to display port adapter. I am not by the PC now so I will have to try this when I get back to work. Any feedback is appreciated until then. Thanks

That worked. That was the issue. Both cards have two display ports so I did display ports to display ports on the monitors and it worked great. You saved me a lot of time with this. A 3 hour tech support call did not even solve it. Thanks again the the Experts.
