Openfiler – CPU Upgrade and Rebuilding (again)

The heatsink for my 333MHz Pentium II processor came in the mail today, so when I removed the cover from the Openfiler box to plug in a floppy drive to flash the RAID controller firmware I swapped in the pair of 333MHz CPUs.

I had a pair of 350MHz CPUs in there, but this motherboard only supports a 66MHz frontside bus, so it reported them at 233MHz no matter what jumper setting I used.

But the 333MHz CPUs report at full speed, so that’s good to go!

I got the firmware flashed on the RAID controller (took it from C511 to N511) and am rebuilding the RAID container again.

Hopefully it will work this time and I’ll be all done with this BS.

BTW, the Openfiler box is named Hobbes. My main server is named Calvin and the new firewall is named Spiff. Just in case you were wondering.
