inconsistent information about CPU typs in ML110 G5

[bauer40]

Hi Folks!

Can somebody tell me which CPU is running in a ProLiant ML 110 G5 Server? I’m especially interested in a precise answer about Intel Xeon X3120 (3.16GHz, 6MB L2, 1333 Mhz FSB).

The server specs say: YES (http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/de/de/sm/WF06a/15351-15351-241434-3328424-3328424-3577708.html), even if that CPU seems not to be shipped by factory.

ROMPaq Firmware description says: YES (since 2008.07.15 (A) )

Customer Self Repair says: NO
(http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c01438045)


I seated that CPU, and after powering on the Server, the fans start at high speed, but they do not reduce their speed after a few seconds, and I do not get any display output. After about 25-30 seconds, the three LEDs on the keyboard flash once for a few seconds – but that’s all what happens.

Can somebody give me a hint?

Thank you!

Peter

It seems that the best information was in the ROMPaq Firmware description: the X3102 CPU works well.

Try updating the BIOS, with the old cpu. Then try the new one.
