Sorry, I made an assumption when you said new mobo that it was a recent rev. If it's one of the early revs, then yes there will most likely be problems. The new ones are all 5000p chipsets.
I'm trying to think of how to grab the chipset model from within windows, given you only have RDP access... Have you take the SN# of the server and called into HP Support or the Parts Support or your Account rep and asked about it? With the SN# you can get that info. You can get your SN# from the HP Mgmt Homepage->System Board. From: Joseph L.

The very first 380 G5's didnt support the QC's (5000 chipset versus 5000p I guess). You also need a recent bios version. I had the first, and even with the newest bios they didnt work :( Spare Part #: 436526-001 Non Quad Core Spare Part #: 407749-001 This is what Iam told by HP... jlc ________________________________ From: Barsodi.John [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 05, 2008 9:55 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: HP DL380 G5 In the G5's the mobo's are the same for QC and DC. From: Joseph L. Casale [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 05, 2008 8:31 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: HP DL380 G5 I am trying to deduce if a new mobo in a DL380 G5 supports Quad Cores, it is said it should be 436526-001. I don't have ilo access atm (not configured), I only have rdp access. Any ideas? I looked for an Intel Chipset identification util as the original mobo should be a 5000 series and this one should be a 5000p but it doesn't seem they make one for those series. Any help would be great! jlc ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
