Itanium 1 CPU replacement program

[bgawert]

Some time ago HP replaced the Itanium1 CPUs of i2000, rx4610 and rx9610 with C0 and C1 stepping due to an CPU error. Sadly, I can't find any whitepapers or any other mention of it any more, and even the CPU test tool that tells me if I have affected CPUs or not is gone.

Anyone knows where I might find the informations or a statement about these CPU replacements and the CPU test tool?
