Issue 7: I put one processor in my system but it doesn't boot

Check the following:
•
Is the processor a 100 MHz system bus or 133 MHz system bus processor? The SKA4 server
board only supports Intel Pentium III processors designed for the100 MHz system bus.
•
Is the processor in the primary processor slot? Refer to the configuration label or the
Technical Product Specification for details on which slot is the primary.
•
Does the secondary processor slot contain a terminator card? The Pentium III processor
architecture requires non-populated processor slots to be terminated. Without proper
termination, the signals do not maintain their electrical integrity & may cause errors. Some
server products prevent boot up if they do not detect a terminator card.
•
Are the processor and terminator card firmly seated? The retention mechanisms designed to
hold the processor and term card firmly in place. Ensure the processor and termination card
have "snapped" into the retention mechanism.
