The OS will only show 2 CPU threads per physical processor installed. NOTE: BIOS Setup shows the number of physical processors installed and not the number of processor cores. For example, when 2 Dual-Core Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor 5100 series are installed, BIOS POST and Setup will only show 2. KNOWN BIOS ISSUES/WORKAROUNDS ================================== -When two Dual-Core Intel(R) Xeon(R) 5100 series processors are installed, an NMI error may appear during POST after updating from BIOS R0054 or earlier to later BIOS releases due to a change in error handling. Perform a full DC power cycle (front panel power off and power on) to prevent this message from appearing again. -As of BIOS R0063, user may encounter a system reset upon first boot if previous NVRAM corruption has been found. -Video mode is set to 80x25 until BIOS defaults are loaded -PAE mode and the equivalent Linux mode must be set to see greater than 2.5GB of memory. -ESB NIC disable option in BIOS setup has been removed. NOTE: Dual-Core Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor 5100 series DO NOT support HyperThreading. The OS will only show 2 CPU threads per physical processor installed. NOTE: BIOS Setup shows the number of physical processors installed and not the number of processor cores. For example, when 2 Dual-Core Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor 5100 series are installed, BIOS POST and Setup will only show 2 processors.
