2 x Pent. Pro 200 CPU's on my Proliant 2500
Windows 2000 Professional SP3.
Hi once again, this is where I am at.
I changed the APIC MODE to 'full table' in the F10 partition at the Config HW.
I then went to Device manager and it told me 'standard PC'. Seems I am using 'hal.dll'.
I still do not seem to be running two CPU's. Thes cpus were installed original so I don't think a problem there and at start up they are both recognised.
what tools can I use to see how things are running?
What else do I need to do to get both cpus online.
Thanks Kevin

Take a look at this article from MS:

If you still have troubles you can download the SSD from Compaq, click here:

Hope this helps.

Re: 2 x Pent. Pro 200 CPU's on my Proliant 2500
I already had that installed, it was an older version so I put the newer one in. But how does this help me? I should tell you I am self taught in this so I may need it spelled out or pointed to the online manual as to how I get the two CPUs working. My computer still shows as 'standard PC' and using the 'hal.dll'and one cpu.
I used smartstart 5.3 when I set up server, had installed new bios etc also.... One question I have is after some reading of older posts is does the 2500 running w2k support 2 cpus? I am assuming it must run on something or they wouldn't have built it..... {{{do I need to look for a copy of win95? :) }}}
Thanks folks, Kevin

One question for you though, when you boot up does your machine report both CPUS during POST?

Re: 2 x Pent. Pro 200 CPU's on my Proliant 2500
I did try Linux 7.3 when I first looked at this but it seemed to complicated for me. I could not get past the install basically.
I guess I need to know if I can get both cpus running on W2K?
Thanks for your time so far and the Linux thing will be sitting out there if I keep having problems. Do you know who I should ask about the current situation?

Re: 2 x Pent. Pro 200 CPU's on my Proliant 2500
After reading many posts I decided to take the plunge and change some settings in the device manager.
I installed 'sisoftware sandra' and had a look round my computer. It indicated I only had one cpu. I looked at the details and it said under features that ACPI was not supported so decided not to go there. That left MPS with the only multiprocessor option so I thought I need to try MPS multiprocessor. I went to device manager and changed to that. I had read in Microsoft how to recover if I did it wrong so worth a crack! Well all has gone fine so far. Device manager now says says I have 'MPS multiprocessor PC' and 'sandra' now indicates 2 cpus.
Is this all working fine? Seems to be, I am not sure yet how to fully test it but site is still running..... Will kepp you posted.... any tips..

Re: 2 x Pent. Pro 200 CPU's on my Proliant 2500
Except.... when I open a drive or any folder the contents don't appear unless I right click in the pane or left or right click on the toolbar????
Files and programs within the folders open/work fine??? Any ideas?

Re: 2 x Pent. Pro 200 CPU's on my Proliant 2500
I seem to have resolved above issue. I ran Repair in Windows 2000 and all is now working. Two CPU's recognized by 'sandra'. Windows screen shows two CPU's in 'Task manager''preformance window'etc.
Thanks Kevin
