G'day all,

Has anybody tried the upgrade chips, like the ones from Evergreen?

update the system ROM: http://www.compaq.com/support/files/server.  Get the
latest SCU (System Configuration Utility).
check the side panel for switch settings.  There are differences between the
100MHz and 133/166MHz proc brd.  Locate that board as well as the processor.
Note the memory section below, the memory goes on the Proc brd; therefore
the proc brds are different (i.e. will not support a different class
processor = 100MHz brd is stuck at 100MHz, 133/166 brd holds only 133/166MHz
CPU's, FlexSMP Dual Processor Board will hold either 200MHz or 166MHz):

Memory
ProLiant 1500 5/100: 16-MB of ECC memory standard expandable to 208 MB
ProLiant 1500 5/133 and 5/166: 32-MB of ECC memory standard expandable to
256-MB 
ProLiant 1500 with 6/200 FlexSMP Dual Processor Board: 32-MB of Buffered EDO
DIMM Memory standard, expandable to 512-MB 

Sincerely,
Richard Black

actually, i was wondering can i drop a 133 or 166 processor in the current
processor board and are there settings for the bus and clock speed that I
can change? I put a 133 in there before and it came back with an invalid
processor error in the configuration...
