ProLiant 1600 system board switch settings

[Ryan Riske]

Hello ProLiant Gurus!

I have a ProLiant 1600 with two 400Mhz processors (matched pair). The BIOS finds and initializes both processors just fine, but no operating system I've tried has been able to utilize the second processor (WinNT 4.0, Win2000, FreeBSD). Doing a hardware probe under FreeBSD tells me that one processor is showing Family 6 Model 2 Stepping 1 (the one in slot 1) and Family 6 Model 5 Stepping 2 (the one in slot 2). If I swap the processors in the slots it still shows up with the one in slot 1 being 6/2/1. I looked at the switches on the system board and the one with four switches was on-on-off-off, and the one with 2 switches was off-off. I saw a thread that recommends switching the APIC mode to "Full Table Mapped" and I will try it, but I am wondering if these switch settings are correct / what the correct settings are.

Thanks in advance,
Ryan
