First post, by StevOnehundred
Longtime lurker here feeling the need to trouble you fine fellows with my problems 😕
First of all, the hardware:
P2B-DS rev 1.06, BIOS 1014 beta 003
2 x MS-6905 ver 2
2 x P3 900/256/100 SL4SD [stepping C0]
Now, I'm very much under the impression the above combination of gear should happily boot with both CPUs available. However, something is preventing the desired outcome.
I have tried various combinations of the J3 single/dual processor jumper.
- With both set to dual the board will not post.
With both set to single the board stops posting during or after the memory check - I've tried alternative ram, makes no difference.
With either set to dual and the other set to single the board will detect 1 processor.
Both CPUs are usable singly in either slot and attached to either slotket.
I have also tried a pair of 800/256/133 SL4CD CPUs, with the same results.
The board came with twin 700/256/100 slot 1 CPUs and the board recognizes both and will boot in dual CPU mode.
I am vexed to say the least. Is one of the slotkets faulty? All opinions, guidance and sympathy welcome.
