Default Re: 2200 & R5

You need to make some debug cms to the bios for this conversion.

All of the conversion data I have is for converting a 2000 v2 (PN 70715023) to a 4000. I do not have a clue on what will happen if a 2200 is used.

You may need to use a larger power supply to handle the extra load.

There is one timer that soon as you change the model type it will auto reboot. I am not sure which one it is. I think it is "reboot". Once you make the model change it has to reboot for it to work. I think if you issue "reboot 0" turns auto reboot off. "reboot" with out any parameters reboots in 1 sec.

I would like to know what hardware version you are at before you make the changes.

PREFORM THE FOLLOWING COMMANDS AT YOU OWN RISK, NOT RESPONSEABLE FOR DAMAGE.

Once you are logged in and to the bebug section.

1. bios unlock
2. bios model 2 ( once you issue this it reboot unless turned off)
3. bios lock
4. reboot 5 ( if you disabled reboot)

This is all it needs to convert a 2200 into a 4000 if every thing works correctly.

Once the changes have been made, I recommend reload the OS.

Good Luck,

Please keep us updated with your progress, success or not.
