support.

off. To enable hyper-threading, go to the EFI shell and enter command cpuconfig threads
on. To disable hyper-threading, go to the EFI shell and enter command cpuconfig
threads off.
• Enable remote desktop connection from a headless server — The remote administration
mode is enabled by default on Windows Server 2003 if you are using the OS supplied as
part of the HP reinstall media. If you are installing or reinstalling using Microsoft RTM
media, the Remote Desktop functionality is disabled. To enable remote desktop connections,
go to the SAC prompt and enter:
reg add “HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server” /v
fDenyTSConnections /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
• Enable greater than 256 interrupts (cell-based servers only) — When using Windows Server
2003 on cell-based servers, the system on allows 256 interrupts.To overcome this limitation
apply QFE 900713, then add /EXTINTVEC to the boot options using NVRBOOT
