Guest BrianMultiLanguage Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 The BIOS shows both cpus installed but the OS reports only one. Does the OS need to be reinstalled? Thanks

Guest BrianMultiLanguage Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 Re: server 2003 std dual cpu missing one Thanks however that does not talk about Xeons. The Sys.Info does show: Processor x86 Family 15 Model 2 Stepping 9 GenuineIntel ~3056 Mhz Processor x86 Family 15 Model 2 Stepping 9 GenuineIntel ~3056 Mhz I guess reinstall.

Well, neither did the original post; so, with 1 question down and 19 to go - Does the task manager show 4 CPUs? In Device Manager under 'Computer' do you have an ACPI multiprocessor PC listed, or does it say ACPI Uniprocessor PC? Regards, Len Agoado agoado@msn.com
Guest BrianMultiLanguage Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 Re: server 2003 std dual cpu missing one Coorect it didn't specify. Sorry. NO, 2 cpu's in the task manager not four as expected.

Guest BrianMultiLanguage Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 Re: server 2003 std dual cpu missing one Dell poweredge 1600sc. There no specific BIOS switches Hyperthreading and ACPI. I am going to wipe the machine and reload the OS.

What leads you to think otherwise? In Task Manager Performance, is the graph set to show one graph per CPU? Are you running current BIOS firmware? Regards, Len Agoado agoado@msn.com

Straight compare to the other 1600 that are showing 2 physical and 2 virtual cpus' totalling four. > In Task Manager Performance, is the graph set to show one graph per CPU? One cpu was displayed in the TM. Are you running current BIOS firmware? YES -After wiping the drive and install the OS again, we have a 4 cpu display in the TM as expected. Thanks for your help on this, as painful as it was.
