I presume that the problem I have is that I need a driver for W2K3 for dual processor? Does anyone have a link or a solution please?
Many thanks for any help.

Re: Proliant 2500R - Dual CPU's
I cant see why the HAL would not have been installed as a multiprocessor HAL when you did the install, however check microsofts article 234558 for more information
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=234558
If both Procs are detected on post it is likely an O/S issue - relating to the HAL

Re: Proliant 2500R - Dual CPU's
I checked the system configuration (F10 on boot) and it is set to Windows 2000. I can not find any reference to ACPI in the bios/system partition ├в but I presume that is because of the age of server.
Is there any other way to add/change this?

Re: Proliant 2500R - Dual CPU's
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309283
So my problem is that Windows is seeing my server as a single CPU non ACPI.
Is there anything in the BIOS or driver that I can change to make it see the dual CPU├в s?
Any help would be really appreciated. Please please├в ┬ж

Solutionunfortunately I think your problem is Pentium Pro 200MHz CPU.
See "Windows Server 2003 May Not Use Multiple Processors with Some Pentium Pro or Pentium II Processors"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/319091/en-us
Check your CPU stepping.
If stepping is Ok, read this recent thread:

Re: Proliant 2500R - Dual CPU's
You were spot on with the CPU not being supported.
Oh well back to W2K!!!
Many thanks to all.

Re: Proliant 2500R - Dual CPU's
x86 Family 6 Model 1 Stepping X GenuineIntel (where X = 1, 2, 6, 7, or 9)тАвx86 Family 6 Model 3 Stepping X GenuineIntel (where X = 3 or 4)
Either downgrade or run with a single CPU. Doh!!!
