Adding 2nd processor to an lh pro

Andy Wander — Thu, 17 Jan 2002 02:58:00 GMT

I am running Win2000Server on an lh pro w/ a single Pentium Pro 200MHz.

What is involved in adding a second processor, other than pluging it in?

hi
you need also a Voltage Regulatore Module (VRM HP P/N 0950-3066), then run ECU (eisa config utility), be also sure to use processor with same cache capacity (HP has two version).

Also make sure that the HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) in Windows2000 supports multiprocessing.
Take a look at article Q234558 on support.microsoft.com. It explains how te verify the HAL you're currently using and how to update it.

Good luck!

Marco.

Will I get in trouble if I don't use an hp processor? I can get Pentium Pro 200MHz for $25 or so, but I bet hp would be a lot more.

hi
processors are genuine Intel processor, so il you buy a processor who match the one you already have, you can use it without problem.
