SYMPTOMS
========
When you install Windows NT on a Hewlett-Packard Vectra XU 5/90C that has two
processors, Windows NT Setup recognizes only one processor. Windows NT Setup
identifies the computer as a Standard PC.
CAUSE
=====
The HP XU 5/90C is using a BIOS version earlier than GO.05.08. Windows NT is
unable to detect multiple processors on this system with earlier BIOS versions.
RESOLUTION
==========
To correct this problem, upgrade the BIOS on the HP Vectra XU 5/90C to version
GO.05.08 or later. The GO.05.08 BIOS upgrade is available for download from the
HP bulletin board service (BBS) at (208) 344-1691, or from CompuServe in the
HPSYS forum. Download GO0508US.EXE.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The Hewlett-Packard XU 5/90C uses a motherboard that contains a socket for a
Pentium P54CM processor. When you add that chip, the system is upgraded to a
dual-Pentium configuration.
When the updated BIOS is installed, Windows NT Setup correctly selects MPS 1.1
Multiprocessor PC, not Standard PC.
