can't get RX1600 to POST

[Sameer_Nirmal]

Alan,

SEL log entry 4 is co-related with the MP -> SS output and that makes a sense.
Unless atleast one workable CPU is installed , the POST won't complete.

As far the "Invalid Checksum" error for those FRUs are concerned , it is a bug in the current BMC firmware.
This is fixed in the BMC firmware version 03.48. Refer following release note for the latest MP/BMC/SF firmware.

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=15351&prodSeriesId=447332&swItem=ux-31822-1&prodNameId=406201&swEnvOID=54&swLang=13&taskId=135&mode=4&idx=0

So you need to update the firmware once POST issue is resolved.

By the way which processors you are using ? I doubt because as per the FRU info , the CPUs you have are 1.3GHz !!
Be-aware rx1600 support 1GHz CPU ( AB220A ) . Verify them.

Just make sure once again the parts you are using are supported for rx1600.

If you could succeed to go further assuming the CPU issue is resolved, then you can watch SEL logs, maybe in that case
system board could be a culprit.

Sameer -- what you suggest does seem to be part of the problem... the CPUs are from a 1620, are part # AB481, and are 1.3Ghz CPUs... I'll go find some slower ones...

[Alan_152]

Sameer -- OK, got a proper CPU installed:

SS

System Processor Status:

Monarch Processor: 0

Processor 0: Installed and Configured
Processor 1: Not Installed

My system event logs get a little further than before now:

[Alan_152]

It looks like what the issue is is that I have firmware installed on the box that doesn't match the CPUs I'm trying to put in it.
