Proliant ML570 max CPU chip available?

[Peter A. Berger Jr.]

Hi all. I've been searching HP.com PDF's and forums in an attempt to find out:

What is the highest speed CPU I can put in the ML570 Tower? Part number?

I can't seem to find anything. Thanks!

For the ML570 (original generation), the highest is the Pentium III Xeon 900mHz with 2MB cache. You can put 4 of these into the server. This option part number is 222627-B21. I believe this kit also comes with the Processor Power Module.

I currently have 2x700Mhx P3 Xeons in there now. I've never upgraded/put in new CPU's. Can I mix/match 700's and 900's?

I guess what I'd like is to plop 2x900Mhz Xeons in there to max out the server CPU's?

Thanks. :)

Peter:

You can install 4 x PIII Xeon 900Mhz 2MB cache processors in this server.

You need to purchase Option Part Number:
222627-B21

Here is the PDF guideline on installing the processors:

To install the processors, follow the directions on page 65.

You should not mix the processor speeds in this server. The processor speed settings are listed on page 161
