Processor disabled

[Ayman Altounji]

Hi, I have an 1850R with 2 x P3/500 Mhz processors installed. When the server boots it shows that both processors are initialised but when I run the Diagnostic utility it shows processor 2 as 'disabled'. Also when I elect to show processor performance and ask to show 1 processor per graph under Windows 2000, it shows only 1 graph - does this really mean that processor 2 is disabled and if so how to re-enable this processor? As you've probably guessed I'm a newbie to servers having just bought my first one !

thanks, Graham

Go into Device Manager and under COMPUTER...If it says Mutliprocessor then your fine here. If it says Uniprocessor then go to the DRIVER TAB and then choose UPDATE DRIVER, next....next....please make sure you choose the correct one. IF it says ACPI then use the same. If it says MPS then choose that one..
Go into the F10 partition and at the first window type CTRL A a dialogue box should appear asking about ADVANCED MODE. Hit ENTER. Choose SYSTEM CONFIG -> Config HW -> Review and Modify -> View and Edit Details. Hit PAGE DOWN twice and there you will see ADVANCED FEATURES. You will then see APIC MODE . Change that to Full table and then save and exit. Please keep me posted.
