Add 2nd CPU in ML370

[Lamar Morris]

I'm new to Compaq and was wondering how to add a 2nd CPU in a ML370 G3. Will Win2k Server recogonize it (OS already installed) and do I need to do something at Bios level.

thanks

Hello Lamar,
After you install the Second CPU then you need to change the HAL to multi CPU by going in Device manager. You can find the documentation in this by going to MS Technet Site. If you could not find it please let me know I shall send it to you.
Also please make sure that your system bios is uptodate.

Thanks, I just changed the HAl via device manager on a system earlier in the week, I was concerned if it would boot at all.

I'll let you know how it turns out.
