https://community.hpe.com/t5/netservers/cpu-upgrade-on-netserver-lpr/m-p/3041064#M5148 I have upgraded to BIOS 4.0.35 on my LPR (D7171A), and while it will POST with a PIII 700Mhz+VRM upgrade, an error message appears indicating that this CPU is "not supported". The error will not let me attempt to boot by, for instance, pressing F1 etc.<BR /><BR />I'm assuming it's "not supported" because the BIOS doesn't have microcode for the CPU in question... though obviously everything's fine otherwise. Is there a way around this?<BR /><BR />My email is paul@hpsupport.beprivate.com if anyone has an offline or "unofficial HP" answer they'd like to give me. Examples might be downgrading to an older BIOS, a BIOS patch, etc.<BR /><BR />Warmest regards and thanks in advance,<BR />Paul Mon, 04 Aug 2003 23:20:16 GMT Paul Antoine 2003-08-04T23:20:16Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/netservers/cpu-upgrade-on-netserver-lpr/m-p/3041064#M5148 I have upgraded to BIOS 4.0.35 on my LPR (D7171A), and while it will POST with a PIII 700Mhz+VRM upgrade, an error message appears indicating that this CPU is "not supported".
