HPCPUNAME Model Strings Supported With MPE/iX Release 7.0 and Possible Bootup Failures
HPCPUNAME Model Strings Supported With MPE/iX
Release 7.0 and Possible Bootup Failures
By Dave Snow
With the MPE/iX Release 7.0 and Release 7.0 Express 1, a number of new model strings
will now be returned by the MPE/iX function HPCPUNAME. Following is a list of the new
approved ASCI model strings for HP e3000 Servers supported with MPE/iX Release 7.0
and Release 7.0 Express 1.
For HP e3000 A- and N-Class Servers, the following definitions apply to model strings:
• First term = SERIES e3000
• Second term = family and model, may be variable length
• Third term = number of processors authorized, may be variable length
• Fourth term = frequency of authorized processors, the last digit is not included (e.g., 550
MHz = 55)
Model strings for newly shipped servers are always properly set by the HP factory or by
the US Distributor, Client Systems. Whenever an HP e3000 Server is upgraded through a
chassis upgrade or by the addition of a processor, the model strings will be properly set by
the HP field CE doing the installation. Before completing an installation, HP field CEs
should boot the HP e3000 Server to demonstrate proper setting of model string values.
