LT 6000r w/2MB Cache Xeons

[Tyrone Mills]

I am running an LT 6000r with 6 500MHz Xeons with 2MB cache. The BIOS reports 0KB L2 Cache Memory. I am running BIOS version 4.06.45, do I need to update it, or is a 2MB cache simply unsupported on this server?

Thanks!

Hi Tyrone, according to the BIOS download page you have the latest bios
see this page http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?pnameOID=19837&locale=en_US&taskId=135&prodSeriesId=50459&prodTypeId=15351&swEnvOID=54#326

Also according to the product specs the server will run up to 900mhz cpu and there are switches on the cpu board for the speed settings and the manuals canbe found here

according to the data sheets 2mb cache is supported so perhaps you can get some info from these 2 sites
cheers

Hi Malvin,

I've got the system jumpered "correctly" to 500MHz, it's undocumented, but it works. I'd looked through the docs online and haven't yet seen any mention of cache sizes being configurable at all. I would have assumed that it was something the system determined on it's own. I've ordered a Netserver Navigator CD and will see if any of the utilities on it can shed any light onto the problem.

Thanks for taking the time to respond!

Hi Tyron,

This server takes min 550 MHZ and I don't know how u got it work with 500 MHZ

So it could be that the BIOS were not able to read the 2MB Cach
