FDIV Processor Replacement
Pentium®
processor Replacement (FDIV) Information
If you have a -xPx or -xQx complex (even the mighty -xPx), chances
are it has the FDIV bug. Intel will swap out your processor with a like
processor. Same speed. No upgrade for the FDIV chip is available. Read
the stuff on this link. It will give you the phone# and the requirements
for swapping the chip out (Includes the CPUID
program to identify the presence of the FDIV bug). You will have to give
them a credit card number.
They will send out a non-FDIV chip and a pre-paid shipping
envelope. You pop the old chip out and return it to Intel. If they do not
receive the old chip within 30 days they will charge the credit card number.
I had my replacement in under a week of my call....
Diagnostic LEDs
(Extrapolated from the Type 3 information)
The Type 4 processor board has two LEDs; one in
position CR1, and one in CR2.

MHz 06H3739
The vaunted P90 complex
10G3441 Synchrostream Controller- Blue
translucent chip. Can be yellow or blue. Though I have not seen any yellows
myself, it may happen. Currently investigating if there is any meaning
to this difference as is the case with the 76/77 planars.
U24 DMA Controller??? 8190587
Cache Chips i82492-60
Cache Controller i82497-60 (-66
will work as well)
J3- Serial port connector to operator
panel board.
J5- The "Flash
ROM bank" switch -by the way- was originally planned for a sort of
"emergency mode". Once you screwed up the Flash-BIOS you could toggle the
bank, insert any working flash update in the FDD A: and restart the
machine, which takes the flash-image from the floppy drive and recovers
(as it can be done on the 704 in the "Bios recovery mode"). However: the
base boot-BIOS did not have the required routines to delete the loused
up bank of the Flash-ROM ... and as far as I know the loading of an image
from Floppy does not work. Another useless feature.
J6- Known but to God. Shocking
news! This jumper has been reported on a P66 complex!!
Artifact- Serial Link J5 on Type
4 complexes (-xNx, -xPx, -xQx, -xYx)
The serial link was (as far as I know) intended
for the use with an earlier system management adapter, which didn't made
it to the salesroom. The idea was to supply a sort of status-link to the
processorboard and the SCSI- adapter(s) and the (possible)
backplanes on the later servers.
Cache controller Try HERE
and search for A82497-60. Thanks, Senum!

06H3739 vs. 06H7095
There are two FRUs for the P90 complex-
If you go to the EPRM
it says:
(wrong Pentium® 90MHz Processor Card !) 06H3739
Pentium® 90MHz Processor Card
06H7095
Oliver Schweizer said
I once called the spare part hot line and they told me
that the 06H7095 is intended just as a replacement for a crashed complex.
According to them the number change came because the original complex could
contain the bug-ish P90 and the replacement unit not. If I remember correctly
they asked about 1500-2000 $ for the 06H3739!! A real tempting offer ;),
but after weeks of sleepless nights I decided to stick with my type 2 complex
(and got the pentium power now for about 5% of that price).
