Error code 9023 on a E800 Netserver

[-EclipsE-]

I have a E800 Netserver with an PIII 900Mhz CPU. I have just added at PIII 866Mhz CPU. The clock has then been adjusted to the lowest CPU, and thats also ok. But when I boot it gives me an warning with code 9023. "The power on-self test has detected a faillure limited to the system board internal functions." What's wrong here, should I just skip it on every boot, or may it been a problem mizing those 2 CPU's?

Sorry.. it's an PIII 933Mhz CPU instead of an 900Mhz.
If I remove the 866Mhz CPU there is no error code's.

processors aren't designed to work at different speeds. You will never fix this error until you find two of the same processors.

Hmmm.. so the difference between the CPU's is the cause of the error code.. it's just bad that I only can find 1Ghz PIII CPU's.. I can't find a 933Mhz model anywhere. So I may have to upgrade the first CPU to the 1Ghz also, or am I wrong?

Yes, you will need to make sure the two processors in the system are identical in speed, cache and fsb speed, In this case, they should be 1GHz 256KB cache with 133MHz fsb.
