Hi, I have just added another duel 625 CPU to our 8400. It now has 10 CPU's. I followed the same procedure as I did when upgrading to 8 CPU's except I had to downgrade the CPU firmware rev level to 5.1-30 from the supplied 5.2-7. The information with the CPU stated that the CPU should not be downgraded below 5.1-30 so it should have been OK. I was restricted by system downtime and was told to downgrade the new duel CPU card and not upgrade the 8 CPU's currently in the system. I am getting a message that I have not seen before. Looking at the startup, everything passes the test and the INIT starts. At the end of the init sequence after the device confirmations I get FLASH FRRC, CPU 8 does not match CPU 0 FLASH FRRC, CPU 9 does not match CPU 0 Then the startup continues and the UNIX boot starts. I have formatted the eeproms and built the NVR. I also moved the new card back into slot TLSB slot 0 without the other CPU's in their slots to check the environmantals are they are the same as the other CPU,s. I have a feeling that the EV level has changed on the CPU's with concole 5.2-7 and this may be the cause. The system is running ok and is seeing 10 CPU's but this message worries me. Can somebody help. If I have to upgrade all of the other CPU,s I will. Regards, Colin.
