CPU Upgrade on Netserver LPR

[Paul Antoine]

I have upgraded to BIOS 4.0.35 on my LPR (D7171A), and while it will POST with a PIII 700Mhz+VRM upgrade, an error message appears indicating that this CPU is "not supported". The error will not let me attempt to boot by, for instance, pressing F1 etc.

I'm assuming it's "not supported" because the BIOS doesn't have microcode for the CPU in question... though obviously everything's fine otherwise. Is there a way around this?

My email is paul@hpsupport.beprivate.com if anyone has an offline or "unofficial HP" answer they'd like to give me. Examples might be downgrading to an older BIOS, a BIOS patch, etc.

Warmest regards and thanks in advance,
Paul

Hello Paul,

there are two Versions of LPr Servers, you can identifie the lower version (only to 550MHz) with the Motherboard Labeling -D6129-69009, the newer version D6129-690012 is upgradable to 850MHz.

Best regards MCS-MIK
