Microsoft Windows XP Professional
When the workstation starts, Windows XP Professional detects the new processor and silently installs
it without sending any prompt or information to the user. After you install the processor upgrade, you
see twice as many processors as before the upgrade.
NOTE: Microsoft Windows XP Professional counts the total number of processor cores contained
within the fabric of each processor chip, and not just the number of physical processor chips that are
installed.
To verify total number of processor cores installed in your workstation after the upgrade, complete the
following:
1. Click Start.
2. Right-click My Computer.
3. In the drop-down menu, click Manage , then click Device Manager in the resulting window to
expand the Device Manager menu options.
4. In the Device Manager menu options, click Processors. Each processor core currently installed
in the workstation is listed on a separate indented line under the Processors option.
5. Compare this information with the processor core information you recorded in
the workstation processor on page
before the installation.
Red Hat Linux
All versions of Red Hat Linux automatically detect the new processor hardware. In addition, Red Hat
Linux, as shipped with HP xw Series Workstations, is configured with an SMP kernel.
To verify total number of processor cores installed in your workstation after the upgrade, complete the
following:
1. Right-click anywhere in the blank workstation display, and select Open Terminal.
2. At the terminal prompt, enter cat /proc/cpuinfo..
The screen displays detailed information on each processor core detected on the workstation at
this time.
3. Compare this information with the processor core information you recorded in
the workstation processor on page
through either Processor 3 or Processor 7, depending on the model of the processor chips
installed on your workstation.
