1. Netfinity 8500R architecture optimises memory and bus performance using a 100 MHz, five-port crossbar core chipset. Up to eight Pentium III Xeon processors are supported on two 100 MHz P-6
CPU buses. The recommended order of processor installation is: Sockets A1, A3, A2, A4, B1, B3, B2, B4.
2. Up to seven additional processors may be installed, providing a maximum of eight. All processors must be identical in type, speed, and cache size.
3. Requires removal of the standard processor(s). A maximum of eight processors may be installed. Installation of greater than four processors requires the addition of a mezzanine board and two cache
coherency filters. Required options which provide the board and filters vary by model. For more information refer to "Processor Upgrade Requirements". All processors must be identical in type, speed
and cache size. Upgrades may require a BIOS update. To obtain the latest Flash BIOS, access www.ibm.com/pc/support and enter machine "Type-Model" in Quick Path. Select "Downloadable files"
and then "BIOS".
4. See "Processor Upgrade Requirements" to determine when this option is required.
5. Replacement of the standard processor mezzanine board and the mezzanine board from any installed enablement kit of 550 MHz models is required. See "Processor Upgrade Requirements" to
determine specific model upgrade requirements.
Upgrade From
< 4 x 550 MHz processors
< 4 x 550 MHz processors
> 4 x 550 MHz processors
< 4 x 700 MHz processors
1. This table does not address the processor part numbers required. It does address the optional Enablement Kit, Filters, and Mezzanine Board part numbers required.
2. All processors must be identical in type, speed, and cache size. Upgrades may require a BIOS update. To obtain the latest Flash BIOS, access www.ibm.com/pc/support and enter machine "Type-Model" in
Quick Path. Select "Downloadable files" then "BIOS".
3. Remove the standard processor mezzanine board.
4. Remove all optional Enablement Kit components.
5. Remove Enablement Kit mezzanine board. The Enablement Kit 4X cache coherency filters are supported for use with Netfinity Mezzanine Expansion Kit P/N 10K2337.
