SolutionAccording to this the 266 model could only be upgraded to 300mhz cpu's. The next line of 1600's started at 350 and could be upgraded to 500Mhz. Here is the part number of the compatible CPU: Pentium II 300 MHz processor (PN 298047-B21)

Re: CPU Upgrade
I'm a little confused though. On the inside case of the server, it outlines the jumper settings for the cpu, and has a maximum setting of 333Mhz. During initial POST, both CPU's are recognized and initialized at 333Mhz, however after the RAM test is completed CPU 1 initialized with 512K cache, then CPU 2 failes.
It was my understanding that this model was capable of a max CPU clock speed of 333Mhz. It boots and runs fine with one CPU at 333Mhz. It's when I put the second one in that the POST errors occurs. It happens when it attempts to recognize the cache of CPU 2.

Re: CPU Upgrade
As for supporting 333Mhz I can't find any documentation stating that it supports it but it just might not be documented in any of the original Compaq documentation. I'm just starting to learn the Compaq line so sorry for the lack of knowledge.
Ciao,
Greg

Re: CPU Upgrade
I have looked through the documentation that I can find, nothing reports this error. I have found one other post with the same error, but Compaq has not replied to it.
I apprecieate your replies.

Re: CPU Upgrade
You will need to enter the advanced mode with (ctrl-A).
Once completed, if the cpu is still in error the error will reappear else you will POST fine.
I assume that you have a processor power module for the second processor as well as the first?

Re: CPU Upgrade
As soon as I have the opportunity I will give this a try. If possible, do you know where in the SCU I can clear the 212 POST error? Or if you can point me to the Compaq documentation I'd appreciate that as well.
I have cleared the NVRAM with no results.
The CPU cards both have the same VRM, and the CPU's are from Compaq, not third party.
Thanks again for your reply.

Re: CPU Upgrade
At this point hit (ctrl-A) and accept advanced mode
Select configure hardware and you should be asked if you would like to resolve processor issue (hmm...I think you would right?) system will request a power cycle and you should be clean

Re: CPU Upgrade
I've been to that menu several times, got in the habit of saying no so I could get to the advanced menu (big whoops!). This was prior to udating the BIOS. Before the update, the post said CPU1 had 1024k cache, and processor 3 failed! I was thinking cool, I have 3 CPU's! HA
I will try that as soon as I have the chance.
Again, thanks!!

Re: CPU Upgrade
I have exactly the same problem, but my original processor is a PII-300 Mhz and the new ones are PII-333 Mhz. I also switched processors, any of them works fine alone, but not together. I also uptaded BIOS to latest E34. I downloaded floppy images so I could boot from them and entered the hardware configuration. When asked if I already fixed the problem with the processor I answer yes, tell me to power off the computer and restart. But I still receive the error that processor failed. Have you solved this already? if so, could you please share how did you do it? Thanks in advance.
