Poweredge 2600 cpu upgrade

Since you have the 2600 533 FSB, you have processor options to upgrade the processors in the system to accomodate a 1MB cache. - 3.2Ghz 1MB Cache 533FSB D1 Stepping

Simply call the spare parts group.  The part number is J4337. The Spare Parts Department can be reached at 1-800-357-3355. Their hours are 7 AM to 8 PM CST.

With this sort of change, best practice is to ensure your hardware is completely up to date.  Specifically the BIOS and BMC.  I would also recommend that if you are making this level of change, back up your data prior to doing this.  Should something happen in bending a pin on the board or something to that effect, at least your data is not held hostage on a no POST system.

So does that mean i can just install the new processors and the motherboard will support them or will i need to go through additional steps?

So i was able to upgrade the BIOS to the newest version. This site had nothing for download for BMC unless it is commonly known as something else. Anyway, i installed the new processors and they are working fine. BIOS recognizes them as  3200 Mhz , I downloaded a processor ID tool from Intel and that worked fine. The machine is still showing two 2.4 xeon processors in the device manager. Is there a dell link for BMC drivers, and what can i do to update the info in device manager?

System has new processors, unit boots and everything works as intended, only issue is now what lists within device manager.  My question would be what does it list within BIOS and POST as the unit boots up and displays the proessors as intended without any errors and shows the proper upgraded processors?

processors show correctly in every place except in the device manager

Here is the link to the MS page with the steps to resolve the incorrect reporting within device manager:

Beside the issue with the device manager, do you got any performance improvement with the upgrade?
