Revision 1.40
Problem
Logical processors are not listed in BIOS 1.18 and above even if hyper-
threading is enabled in BIOS. Logical processrs are no longer mentioned with
the text string of “4 Logical Intel® Xeon™ 2.8 Ghz processors” if hyper-
threading is enabled with two processors populated.
Implication
There may be confusion as to whether hyper-threading it really working.
Workaround
None
Status
The change has been implemented in BIOS 1.23 and above. This is by design
and now the text string reads “Intel® Xeon™ Processors 2.8GHz” even if hyper-
threading is enabled. The number of logical processors is no longer listed.
Only the printed POST string has changed, but the functionality of hyper-
threading remains identical in BIOS and on the board.
