How to run 2 opteron processors on k8n-dre - ASUS K8N-DRE/SATA NVIDIA nForce 2200 Professional Dual Socket 940 EATX Server Motherboard w/Video, L

do not think the board will install on it

hello,

the frequency is depending on the memory instaled for opteron 4100 series FSB 1333 MHZ for opteron 4200 series FSB 1600 MHZ.

Sounds to me like you have a bad board/socket 2. Is there a setting in the BIOS to enable the second socket? Only use 1 stick of known good RAM till ya get the problem solved.

Hi,

Here is the download link for the supported RAM for the board ..

Also make sure that you have the RAM in the correct slots for CPU 2 to work ... here is the MB manual that details the memory requirements.

No it will not, eatx is a unique form factor. Now if you wanted to buy a new case that is compatible with that form factor you should have no issues.

This is an AMD 2nd generation Opteron CPU, running at 2GHz. It is a single core device. So a comparison would be against Intel business CPU - the Xeon, again compare against a single core.

1 long beep and 2 shorts beeps indicates a problem with your RAM. If you have more than one RAM chip, remove one of them to rule out a faulty chip. If you only have one chip, remove and reseat it. For clarity, you can find the manual for your board at; http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us&model=K8N-LR And the Asus general motherboard troubleshooting manual at; http://support.asus.com/images/document/ts/E2437_MB.zip

Remove your system memory. If you have 2 dimms re-seat one at a time with a boot inbetween. Clean the copper with alcohol.

Hi, Mistyman here. All Asus mother boards that have dual channel RAM slot must have equal ram in each slot. In most cases the paired slots are matched by color for easy ID, some are identified by a printed ID on the mother board. With your board you will have to have run all of your RAM for the one CPU. If you have only one stick this must be in slot one. If you are using two sticks then utilise the dual chanel system that ASUS have and use A1 & A3. To activate the second CPU you will need to install matching sticks of RAM in the B slots. both cpu's will need to have the value of RAM to work together properly. CPU one = slot A for RAM CPU two = Slot B for RAM. Goodluck, the ASUS boards are a value product.
