Solution
Processor problems are
occurring (

).
Server has multiple processors
installed, and one or more
processors are faulty.
1. Remove
all
processors
but one from the server,
replacing them with
processor terminator
boards or blanks, if
applicable to your server.
2. If your server includes
Processor Power Modules
(PPMs) that are not
integrated on the system
board, remove all PPMs
from the server except for
the PPM associated with
the remaining processor.
3. Replace the remaining
processor with a known
functional processor. If the
problem is resolved after
you restart the server, one
or more of the original
processors are at fault.
Add each processor and
its associated PPM (if
applicable) back to the
server one by one,
restarting each time, to
find the faulty processor
or processors. Be sure
that the processor
configurations at each
step are compatible with
your server requirements.
