want to update the BIOS. Choose
Continue
, and then
NetServer Utilities

update the BIOS if necessary.
Testing the Processor
After you power on the NetServer, check boot messages to see whether or not the
system detects the additional processor. If boot messages indicate that the
additional processor has not been found, make sure the processor re-test function
in the Setup Utility is set to enabled.
If the boot messages still fail to report two processors, reinstall the NOS.
Re-installing the NOS
You may have to re-install your Network Operating System in order to use the
additional processor. If you have gone from an uni-processor to multi-processor
configuration, check your NOS documentation or the Readme First file and
Configuration Advisor utilities on the
HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM
.
This completes the installation of the additional processor and VRM.
Removing a Processor Module
