sx2000 super dome

[Jon Steele]

Hi,

If you have an sx2000 superdome as a test bed can you test sx1000 cpus and cell boards in it? Or can you only test sx2000 cpus and cell boards in it? I am not sure if you can go down in procs or you have to stay the same.

Thanks
Jon

Hi Jon,

the cell board itself makes (most of) the difference between sx1000 and sx2000.
Don't put a sx1000 board into a sx2000 machine or vice versa.

Thanks but can you put sx1000 cpu's on an sx2000 cell board and will that work?

Hard to tell, because a CPU is not a FRU for the sx1000 (AFAIR). Most CPU types running in a sx1000 are not supported (too old) in sx2000 and vice versa (too new).

Thank you that helps me make our decision.

Thanks
