Is there a power board replacement needed when upgrading a Superdome from a PA-8600 Processor to a PA-8700? If so which board is this?

Hi Mike,
Although I can find no definitive docs to back me up - I think not.
For 2 reasons:
1) You can mix 8600 & 8700 in the same cabinet - albeit not in the same parttion.
2)From HP's initial press release for the PA-8700 - quote
"Although running at higher frequencies than the PA-8600 processor, the PA-8700 processor's copper interconnect allows it to run cooler with lower power consumption and high conductivity throughput for faster performance and enhanced reliability"
unquote
Also quote
"Customers will benefit from the PA-8700 processor's full compatibility with previous PA-RISC processors. Upgrades are easy and require no need for software migration. As opposed to similar upgrades in competitive servers, which are often expensive and cumbersome, a simple "board swap" is all that is required for customers to take advantage of the PA-8700 processor."

Of course you should verify this with your HP Tech Sales Rep.
