Re: DL380 G9 slow down after CPU upgrade

Hello,

i swap the CPU back to the old E5-2630L v3 and i have the same issue. I flash all Firmware new, ilo 2.77, Bios 2.76 and have the same issue. I remove all non soldered Components except the P440ar and the same issue.

Any help will be appreciated.

best regards r├й

As you have tested that by removing the p440ar the server boot fine. Does the server boot fine even if you upgrade the cpu ? also, is there any error in the IML or during POST for controller ?

Re: DL380 G9 slow down after CPU upgrade

Hello,

after removeing the P440ar the Server run and boot the OS. I reinstalled th eP440ar with the smae Firmware and the Server works again. I did not see any Errors about the Controller or any hints for this behavier in any log. The only thing is i update the Bios to 2.80. Maybe thats the reason.

Re: DL380 G9 slow down after CPU upgrade

this required a reseat of the controller. But upgrading the CPU should not affect this. Looks like while installing / removing the CPU the controller has loosen up and lost contact with the slot. If you would like to investigate if this is the hardware / BIOS 2.80 problem, I request you to raise a case with HPE Support. If there is a bug in the firmware we are happy to take this issue to our Engineering.

Let me know if you have further queries.
