Hi,

It seems that the systemboard already installed in the server does not support Quad core processor.It would be a systemboard supported only on dual core procesors only.

You would have to upgrade the systemboard as well

Hp Spare Part number : 439399-001

but on hp's official web site it is stated that it can support or upgrade.

Yes ! This server does support Quad core processor but with Quad core compatible systemboards only.

Also Quad core systemboards are backward compatible !

i checked the systemboard i have and its part number 439399-001 means its updated and supportive board for quad core processors. Now in this scenario can u suggest me what should be my next step?

Try to swop the processors.

I mean MOVE processor FROM Slot 1 TO slot 2 and vice-versa.

i did it but nothing change

any way thanks for all your support, but i solve this issue by updating the firmware and its now working properly.

Hi,
I'm in the very same situation as Qutub-uz-Zaman.

How do I check what partno my mainboard has? I've checked the HP System Management Homepage but found only the serialno...?
