rx6600

[Jon Steele]

Hi,

I have an rx6600 that has AB578A procs in it. I am trying to install AD389A procs in it now. The machine does not boot up but I do not get any errors. At the vfp it just says power on. I have updated my firmware to the 4.11 that is out there.

Any suggestions?

Thank you

Jon

Did you remove the older processors? All the processors in an rx6600 must be the same model.

Hi,

Yes I removed the old procs.

Thanks

Hi,

I'm confused from the research. From this HP website, the 1.6 GHz/18MB duel core CPU is part number AB464A, and an option for the rx6600:

Here, AD389A is the confirmed part number, but it is not an offical HP site.

But there are other hits on the AD389A that verify usage with the rx6600.

Baffling.

Did you buy from HP or a third party vendor?

Make sure the firmware is up to date, support for these CPUs was added later.

I would check diagnostics panel LEDs to check processors status and FPL log for any critical warnings.

It was the cpu board.

Thanks
