NetServer LxR8500 CPU Failure

Hi,
My Netserver Lxr8500 has reported that I had a #4 CPU failure on left side. I purchased and replaced the processor, but the event log on the server is now reporting that CPU #3 has failed. The red light on server is still flashing and is annoying. I removed all the processors and re-iserted them, but still the little LED display on server is flashing red light and saying that there is a CPU failure on a different processor. Here is the exact message: CPU Failure, Entry # 425, Critical Pending, Proc. 4, leftfailed, System Boot, Level 3.

Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks &
Kindest Regards,
Yasir Mirza

Re: NetServer LxR8500 CPU Failure

Are you sure it's not the same processor that is reporting as failed? This should be verified. Also and importantly, after replacing a processor that reports as failed, you MUST enable 'Processor Retest'. To do this, when prompted during POST, go into the BIOS Setup Utility and from there the Server menu. Set Processor Retest to Yes and this will re-enable all processors again for POST testing etc.
