PL800 PIII

[Frank_208]

I have a Proliant 800 with a single PIII 500 (not Compaq-certified). Now I wanted to update with a second prcessor from a friend (PIII 500, not certified too). Now the computer boots to detect the processors, brakes and reboots. Both processors become very hot. Do I have to use special processors? Do I have to change the VRM too? Which spare number(s)for processors and VRM are recommended?
Thank you for your reply.

Hello Frank,

here is the spare part number for the processor and the VRM
Processor with Heat Sink 500/100
114525-001

Processor Power Module (PPM or VRM)(500, 550, 600)
329267-001

Replacing it to these parts should work.
Also to make sure go into the bios and set "cpu corrected" for both processors.

Good luck
