I'm top posting on my on post... I added a second quad core, everything is working fine.
I noticed the second one is Model 23 Stepping 6 The first one Model 23 Stepping 10 Do these need to match? Openmanage reports everything is okay... I've been through the dell docs and intel docs, not sure if the stepping matters. As usual, thanks in advance for any input. -- pjf > -----Original Message----- > From: Bond Masuda [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Thursday, February 18, 2010 2:21 PM > To: 'Brandon Ooi'; 'PJF' > Cc: [email protected] > Subject: RE: Adding a second Quad Core L5420 CPU to a 1950 III > > Yes, I believe the only issue is the heatsink which is often specific > to the server model.
