PCServer85 - Incorrect information displayed on configuration menu
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom
After upgrading a Server 85 (9585) with a 486 DX2-66/33 MHz processor 'View Configuration' may report the processor as 'ODP486SX'. The reported information indicates that the processor is installed properly, however the content of the information may be misleading. The content of the information being reported will be changed in a future release of the reference image/diskette. The new information will more clearly reflect that this is a DX2-66/33 upgrade. If the upgraded processor is not installed properly, the processor will not be shown in configuration.
Problem Isolation Aids
None.
Fix
The 9585 contains a 486 SX processor which is soldered to the system board. Since the SX processor does not have math processor functions, customers may wish to install the 486 DX2-66/33 over drive processor upgrade. When the DX2 processor is installed the SX processor is disabled. Only one processor is used at a time. Diagnostics will test only the DX2 processor, when installed, or the SX processor if it is not installed.
