Scroll down to where the APIC settings are located and modify the default setting to be in "FULL TABLE" mode. This configuration will make the server Intel-SMP compliant, and any such Intel-SMP compliant kernel will now recognize and boot this machine as SMP (provided, of course, that two or more processors and their respective processor power modules are present). SMART/2 Array Controller The SMART/2 array controller device driver discussed in this guide is available at www.insync.net/~frantzc/cpqarray.html . The device driver has recently been upgraded from beta to "1.0" status. Instructions for how to install and configure the device driver are included in Appendix A. Several different array controllers have been tested for compatibility with the driver, including the following: x Compaq Smart-2/P Array Controller x Compaq Smart-2/E Array Controller (EISA) x Compaq Smart-2DH Array Controller x Compaq Smart-2SL Array Controller x Compaq Smart Array 221 Controller x Compaq Smart Array 3200 Controller Note: Array controllers are add-on options for the ProLiant servers. Only the PCI-based SMART/2 array controllers were tested with the above-mentioned device driver in preparation for this document. However, according to the documentation available with the device drivers, EISAbased Smart Array controllers will also work. Other Compaq or third party array controllers will not work with this driver. ECG513/0399

SMART/2 Array Controller
The SMART/2 array controller device driver discussed in this guide is available at
www.insync.net/~frantzc/cpqarray.html
. The device driver has recently been upgraded from beta
to “1.0” status.
Instructions for how to install and configure the device driver are included in
Appendix A. Several different array controllers have been tested for compatibility with the driver,
including the following:
x
Compaq Smart-2/P Array Controller
x
Compaq Smart-2/E Array Controller (EISA)
x
Compaq Smart-2DH Array Controller
x
Compaq Smart-2SL Array Controller
x
Compaq Smart Array 221 Controller
x
Compaq Smart Array 3200 Controller
Note:
Array controllers are add-on options for the ProLiant servers. Only the PCI-based
SMART/2 array controllers were tested with the above-mentioned device driver in preparation for
this document. However, according to the documentation available with the device drivers, EISA-
based Smart Array controllers will also work. Other Compaq or third party array controllers will
not work with this driver.
