Our SBA-7121M-T1 blades with Shanghai CPU are running 70% slower than the exact same SBA-7121M-T1 blades that supported only Barcelona CPU's. Other than the CPU's, both the blades have the same configuration of memory, HDD's and OS. The memory modules are populated as described in the manual. The Shanghai CPUs should run about 25% faster by our estimates. Can you confirm if any BIOS/Hardware settings might be causing these new Shanghai CPUs to run so poorly?
To improve the performance of Shanghai CPU's on these blades, please populate the memory in the following manner. 1A, 1B ; 2A, 2B & so on. These changes have been implemented in the new manual.
