Fired up the machine and could not see any reference in the BIOS to "SET CPU CORRECTED" , or does this happen AFTER i install the 5160. I did find in the bios a reference to Clovertown snoop however.

Hello,

My mistake, there is no "Cet CPU corrected" for this server.

Just update the BIOS to 17th August's revision
http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/locate/69_6264.html#0

& install CPU.

No other action is needed.

No problem, have previously applied the 1.14 bios (17th Aug external reference, the internal reference is 13th Aug), so will install new CPU soon, thanks
