I use a Dell PowerEdge 1600sc server with a 2.4 Ghz processor running on OS Windows 2000 Server. When I add the optional second 2.8 Ghz Intel Xeon microprocessor I lose all video. I'm not a real IT guy, just an advanced user. Can anyone offer a suggestion?

Thanks

Frank

You may need to add the CPU tray & must match the VRM.
Go to Dells Web site site & supply your service tag number.............it will give you all the part numbers required for your upgrade.

You have to have EXACTLY matching Xeon cpu's for the system,i.e.lot #'s and sequential serial production #'s if at all possible.Get both cpu's during order time,it's just worth it.I support multiple dually systems,and have since the old pentium pro.Good luck.

This is a technical problem, in search of a solution.

It belongs in the "Technical Q&A" section, not in "Discussions."

Please re-post there.
