Adding 4th CPU to rp5450
Here are several things that we have tried:
Verified that Switch S1 has the following settings: 1 ? off, 2 ? off, 3 ? on, 4 off & 5 ? on.
Changed out the PSM 1 module with one that the vendor sent.
Swapped CPU positions with a known good CPU and slot.
The part numbers of the original CPUs and the upgrade/purchased CPUs are the same, A6146-04001 550 MHZ A-4025. The only difference between the two types of CPUs is on the first line of the tag. The serial number and a 4 digit number.
Original CPU:
A6146-4001 550 MHZ A-4025
Both purchased CPUs:
< serial number> Puerto Rico 4151
A6146-4001 550 MHZ A-4025
It is possible that we were sent two bad CPUs. However, we would like to know if anyone else has experienced this type of issue while trying to add a fourth CPU on a rp5450?
Thanks John

Re: Adding 4th CPU to rp5450
It is possible you were sent two bad CPU's.
Though I know you can install the CPU yourself, I always liked to let HP hardware do it.
CPU installation is covered by the server documentation on http://docs.hp.com
http://docs.hp.com/en/hw.html#HP%209000%20rp5400%20Series%20Server%20%28L-Class%29
I worked in the US in a shop that was rp5450. I would if you have time try out these supposedly bad CPU's in one of the slots that had a working one.
That will determine if its a bad CPU or this is some switch or firmware configuration that needs to be done on the system.

Re: Adding 4th CPU to rp5450
when you say stops respodning, what do you mean - do you get to BCH, does the boot stop at some point during early boot - what do the system logs say from the GSP?

Install the 2 new units only and check.
Hope this helps!

Re: Adding 4th CPU to rp5450
To try only the 2 purchased CPUs is an excellent suggestion. However, I am not sure we will get another opportunity to take the system down.
Thanks John

Re: Adding 4th CPU to rp5450
Might want to compare the PSM part numbers when you swap CPU around or maybe just the PSM is at fault and not the CPUs?
