How to check if a processor in the machine is dead

2005-11-21 Thread Jayesh Jayan
Hi,

I am having problem with my dell 2850 server. It has freebsd 5.4 installed.
Today the machine is flashing amber light on the face plate.On checking I
found that to be PROC Machine Chk which means cpu has failed.

The server has dual Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.00GHz. I searched and found a
utility named x86info but couldn't understand the output much and also
couldn't get to know if a cpu has really failed.

Please help me in this regard.

Dell has floppy and CD-ROM based diagnostic software available which  
will do a good job of testing their hardware.  Run that, then contact  
them for support and/or a RMA if appropriate...

The machine's BIOS would have utilities to test hardware.  You
could check the state of the system with those.
