Applicable to: World-Wide

Source: RETAIN tip H165140

Abstract:
POST does not report correct processor after a processor going bad.

SYMPTOM:
On the subsequent reboot after replacing a bad processor, the POST will display incorrect processor status information. The newly replaced good processor may still be reported as a bad processor.

PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS:
- The system is a Netfinity 7000 M10, Type 8680, any model.

- System is configured with two (2) or more processors.

- The system's Diagnostics pass.

WORKAROUND:
After replacing the bad processor with the good processor, reboot the system. The POST will report erroneous information.
Ignore this and boot the system to the operating system. Shut down and restart the system again and POST should report the new and correct information.
