Proliant 5500 - PIII Xeon 1.0GHz processors
I have in my posession a 5500 server with 2 PII 500MHz processors in already. I also have 2 PIII Xeon 1.0GHz processors.
Can anyone tell me whether these processors are compatible with this server?
Thanks

Re: Proliant 5500 - PIII Xeon 1.0GHz processors
The PIII 500 is a 100mhz SECC chip and the PIII 1Ghz is 133 495 Pin SECC which is different.
Voltages are going to be different too so the VRM's won't work....

Re: Proliant 5500 - PIII Xeon 1.0GHz processors
the proliant 5500 will NOT accept processors faster than 550 mhz. theoretically it could support 700 and 900 mhz versions - because the have a 100 mhz front side bus.
however, the bios checks the cpu-id and will not support faster processors than 550 mhz.
all you will get is the following:
"unsupported processor - system halted"
sorry, but that is how it is.
best regards

Thanks for your information.
Do you know if it is possible to get a new motherboard for the 5500 that supports the processors?

Re: Proliant 5500 - PIII Xeon 1.0GHz processors
you will not find another systemboard for the proliant 5500 (nor any other proliant) that gives you the unique proliant features like managability, performance and reliability.
----------------------------------------
maybe you find a systemboard that closely fits, but how do you connect to power, etc ??
----------------------------------------
some vendors offer (wonder)-sockets that accept cpus with another pin-layout. but the compaq bios will NOT ALLOW other processors than the ones originally supported by compaq.
best regards
