Trouble adding second CPU to G3 DL360

[spokogeek]

I have 6 G3 DL360s that all have the same Xeon 3.00 CPU. Each server has one CPU. I have decided to go dual CPU on three and have pulled the CPUs from 3 of them and added them to the other three. THe problem is that they will not post with Dual CPUs. I can pull the second and they post fine, add one and nothing. I even swapped CPUs and it did not change anything. Am I missing a jumper, or a switch setting to enable the second CPU?

Have you also installed a PPM for the 2nd CPU?

[spokogeek]

Ah the PPM. Yep that will do it. Thanks.

Dont forget to check Device Manager under "Computer" and make sure you have a "Multiprocessor" HAL installed otherwise you wont get to use your 2nd proc.

i'm using 2 processor for my DL365 G5, but i don't have "Multiprocessor" HAL installed under device manager, computer.


however, one of my server won't come back up after adding a second processor. i don't know why. http://forums13.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1343235
