[Leon Shen]

Hi Experts,

Which command to check on the Hp-ux to check exist CPU Speed without reboot the server ? cstm or mstm? If customer didnt install the cstm or mstm application, How to check the CPU speed ?


Best regards
Leon

To get CPU speed in MHz

echo "itick_per_usec/D" | adb -k /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem

hi,

with sam -> Performance Monitor -> System Properties -> Clock Frequency will tell u the speed of the CPU and CPU Version will tell u the version.

hope it helps.

regards.

Hi Joseph,

1 more question - To install the new cpu on the system board, the screws for the cpu is T15 or can use finger tuning.

hi,

sorry, don't own a rp5470.

u may like to check the technical specfication for this server or call HP for help, especially since u r going to install the CPU yourself.

To determine the cpu speed:

echo itick_per_usec/D | adb -k /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem

You can also use mstm > CPU > Tools > Information > Run (look at Processor Speed).

Be wary if you install the CPU yourself, specially for machines within warranty or hardware support. It might void your current support agreement with HP.

hi,

no you will need a screw driver to get them tight enough. They need to be properly seated to work, slightly loose and the processor wont work.
Also you need 1x proc support module for every 2x cpu's in the system.
The tightening order for the screws is on the inside cover aswell.

and the easiest by far to check the cpu speed is through sam as previously said, if stm is not installed.

Hi Andrew,

may i know what kind screw ? T15 or torx screw ?

Leon

[Andrew Rutter]

hi,

T15 is this
t = torx
15 = size

so you need either a screw/torx driver with a T15 end.

this is a standard size thats used in hp hardware, and you can get them from most hardware shops

asking for a t15 driver they will know what you mean.

The processor has 4 fastened long screws with a T15 head on them.

you just need a driver to fit it

I saw one been fitted in our system. The CPU screws have to be fastened in a certain order for best results. The HP system engineer took the document that came with the CPU very seriously

Remember that the pa-risc cpu's do not have pins. like AMD and Intel, but a sort of cushens that make contact with the board. This means that the position is as important as the force.

For your first quest, next to the answers you already got, I'd like you to remind my itrc faq at http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/faq.html

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
