PC Server 320 - Processor upgrade installation error

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom
After a processor upgrade, the Server 320 may experience:
a. Slow system performance.
b. Possible system failures.
c. POST reporting incorrect CPU speed.

Problem Isolation Aids
The system has a PCI/EISA system board installed, FRU P/N06H2173.

Fix
The installation procedure outlined in the IBM PC Server Processor Option Upgrade Installation Instructions, PN 30H2475, page 8, should be changed.

The correct CPU speed jumpers setting on the PC Server 320 EISA/PCI planar should be as follows:

Planar | CPU Speed (Mhz)
Jumpers | 75 90
--------|-----------------------
W2 | OFF OFF
W6 | 2-3 1-2
W40 | ON OFF

ON = JUMPER INSTALLED
OFF= NO JUMPER

Note:
The W40 jumper is located above the Upgrade Processor, near W6. It is not shown in the HMM on pages 15 and 17.

These instructions apply to all PC Server 320 models (EISA and Micro Channel) and other server products which use the same system boards and BIOS.

The printing error has been corrected in the new publication released as PN 62H6914.
