https://community.hpe.com/t5/proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/error-with-processor/m-p/3217954#M26612 I have a proliant 1600R server. the problem i am having is the first processor slot is not working. when i remove the processor and add it to the second slot i can see the slash screen; however, i am getting an error that is saying "processor in wrong slot". I know that I do have it in the wrong slot but i need to know if there is a switch setting that i can change to get it to boot from the second processor?<BR /><BR />Corey Sat, 13 Mar 2004 09:09:06 GMT Corey Jester 2004-03-13T09:09:06Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/error-with-processor/m-p/3217954#M26612 I have a proliant 1600R server. the problem i am having is the first processor slot is not working. when i remove the processor and add it to the second slot i can see the slash screen; however, i am getting an error that is saying "processor in wrong slot".

You would need to replace the MotherBoard if the slot is truely bad. <BR /><BR />Have you tried erasing the CMOS (Switch 6 I think) and putting the processor back in slot 1 and booting up. It is possible that the CMOS "thinks" the CPU is something else???
