DL580 G1 Processor Upgrade

OK Travis !! now we need to think different,

Could be a stepping level issue !

We need to find out if they are the same stepping level...use this link
http://www.intel.com/support/processors/sb/cs-001632.htm
and check it !!

Just in case if you have different stepping level they need to be A1 or A2 but no more than one step difference ...and the highest one should be in slot 1!

hi

yes stepping would be an issue but what I can read it's happening the same with 700 Procs when it was not happening first

Travis try clear NVRAM(SW1) procedure:
see also picture attached to knw where it is located

1. Power down the server.
2. Remove power cord.
3. Remove the server cover.
4. Locate the System Maintenance Switch (SW1), position S6, and move the switch to the "On" position.
5. Power the server back on until Power-On Self-Test begins.
6. After POST has started, power-cycle the server off.
7. Remove power cord.
8. Move the System Maintenance Switch back to the "Off" position.
9. Replace the server cover and power on the system.

after that test again with Procs 700 first .

happy new year
regards

Tried to clear the SVRAM and it didn't seem to do anything, slots 1, 3, and 4 still fail, and now I seemed to have hosed my Windows 2003 install as I'm getting a non-system disk error. AHHHHHH!

Hi,

This might seem a little late and in fact a stupid thing but I'm new here and didn't see this suggestion posted. Did you check to make sure the switches were all off? The information on the inside of the cover specifically states for processors 850 MHZ or greater all switches should be off.
