Processor Compatibility in a Multiprocessor Environment
Intel and Digital recommend using identical steppings/versions of processors
within a multiprocessor system whenever possible, since these configurations have
received the greatest amount of validation testing. Since it is not possible to
validate every combination of processor steppings, each new stepping of a
processor is fully validated only against the latest stepping. At press time, there
were no known incompatibility issues about mixing CPU steppings in a
multiprocessor system. Please refer to the readme file on the ServerWORKS
Quick Launch CD-ROM to view the latest CPU Compatibility information. If you
have any concerns about processor compatibility within a multiprocessor system,
please contact your local Authorized Digital Reseller for assistance.
