Netfinity 7000 M10 - POST shows wrong processors after replacement of a processor
Applicable to: World-Wide
Source: RETAIN tip H164901
SYMPTOM:
On starting a system, the POST screen will indicate which processor is the Boot System Processor (BSP) and which is/are Auxiliary Processor(s) (AP). If a processor has to be replaced or removed and when the system is powered down and brought up again, the BSP and AP may return incorrect data.
PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS:
- The system is a Netfinity 7000 M10 server, Type 8680, any model.
- The system has two (2) or more processors.
- The system produces the following error message:
"Processor x BIST Fail"
- The system Diagnostics pass.
FIX:
The next release of BIOS code will fix. BIOS version 24A is scheduled for October testing and release by 12/98.
WORKAROUND:
If system returns incorrect data on booting, you can get correct data reported if you do a second reboot of system.
