Processor Module Upgrades System Identification (ID) Configuration Utility Each system main logic board contains a unique ID called the System ID, which allows application software to determine what system the electronics reside in. This System ID is stored also on CPU cards and memory cards in the system. When the SCU is launched, if there is a mismatch between the System ID on the main logic board and that stored on the CPU and/or memory cards, then the SCU will flag that a mismatch occurred and ask you to enter the correct system part number from the...
Processor Module Upgrades Run the System ID Configuration Utility If you upgraded your server with a new cpu type (Pentium Pro to Pentium II) or increased the cache size, you need to run the System ID utility to store the new model in your server memory.
Processor Module Upgrades Run the SCU Power up and boot the server from the SCU diskette. The SCU enables you to check or change the server’s configuration. Run the SCU to configure the server for the new processor or processor module. To start and run the SCU: 1.
Processor Module Upgrades Troubleshooting Using the Crisis Recovery Diskette if Necessary If you updated the BIOS, the Crisis Recovery Diskette may be used only if the server’s BIOS fails or if the BIOS upgrade is unsuccessful. When using the Crisis Recovery diskette, you must remove any video option card and enable the on-board VGA.
