Hi folks,

I need some help with a few HP X-class Visualize workstations. The
configuration is a single CPU slot 1 733Mhz plus VRM in position 2,
two pieces of 256MB reg ecc SDRAM (PC-133) in 1A/1B, matrox millenium
PCI video card.

When powering up the workstation, the bios complains it expects 2
1000MHz CPUs. Running the DIAG routine lists CPU 1 fails, CPU 2 passes
and the ram passes. Tried clearing the BIOS switch and removed the
battery but still it fails the first CPU.

I couldn't find anything about setting the number of CPUs in HP's pdf
guides.

Would appreciate any suggestions people have.

Thanks,
Art

I think I have the solution. In the User Guide on page 118, it shows a
processor terminator card in the unused slot. See attached photo. The
table of LCD error messages also references a missing terminator when
it says socket error.

Strange, the monitor stays black and no video appears. Should the BIOS
come up even with the CPU error?

Thanks,
Art

I think I have the real solution. The video does not come on unless an
AGP video card is used. Switching from a PCI card to AGP solved the
problem.

The CPU terminator was not needed.

Thanks,
Art

well, it is needed. The machine might work w/o it, but the frontside bus
needs proper termination, otherwise you might experience data corruption
or strange errors...
