7.3.4 Defective CPU Disconnection Function

This server has a defective CPU disconnection function.
This function disconnects the CPU judged to be defective (causing an error) during Power On Self Test
(POST) to start the server. When two CPUs are installed and one of them is defective, the server starts
with the other CPU.
You can check the defective CPU on the POST screen.
■ Removing the Defective CPU
■
See " How to Remove the CPU" ( pg.188) to remove the defective CPU.
After replacing the CPU, make sure to start the BIOS Setup Utility and check that [CPU n Status] (n =
CPU number) is set to "Enabled" in "8.1.13 The CPU Status Submenu" ( pg.248) on the Server
menu. If it is set to "Disabled" or "Failed", change the CPU status to "Enabled". If the setting is not
changed to "Enabled", the server will start with the new CPU still marked as defective and always
disconnected.
By changing the setting to [Enabled], the defective CPU status is cancelled and the new CPU can be
used at the next start of the server.
