Knowledge Article: ID B0401E000: Invalid CPU configuration

Description

Invalid CPU configuration

Causes

This might occur because you have two CPU processors with different speeds on the same board, or because you have a CPU with a different stepping level in the second processor slot.

Implications

When the processor sensor in the blade server detects a CPU configuration that is not valid, the advanced management module will issue this event.

Resolutions

See the Configuration and Options Guide - Servers and Intellistation for information about CPU configuration and to determine which CPUs are supported in the blade server. The Configuration and Options Guide is available on the Web.
