2132.0. "IntraNetWare SMP on Prioris XL 590 DP" by NETRIX::"[email protected]" (Adrian Moore) Wed Mar 26 1997 07:35

Hi,

A customer reports 3 Prioris XL 590 DP machines with BIOS 2.08 are hanging
after enabling SMP with the MPS14.PSM file. IWSP2.EXE is applied, which means
the version of MPS14 is from December 10, 1996 (config.nlm report).

The client does not get the hang on a Prioris XL 5166 DP when he takes the
hardware from one of the 590's and puts it into the 5166 DP with the same
system disks.

SCU 1.10 was used, and I am sending out SCU 1.12 in the hope that this is some
screwy low-level problem. The Web server and Mercury Mail are both on these
machines.

Has this behaviour been noted before? What could be the difference between
the 5166 and the 590?

Cross posting to PRIORIS.

Thanks & regards,
Adrian Moore

do you mean you plugged the 590dp cpu daughter board into the 5166
MLB ?.
If yes, then
check the MLB p/n near the bottom most EISA slot: you should read
54-23984 on both machine.
If you read 54-23456, it must be upgraded to support dual processor.

Hi,

Thanks for the info. The board is to be swapped since it had the 54-23456 p/n.

Thanks & regards,
