You may need to play with the APIC settings.  I haven't tried an 800,
but it can't be too different from the others of the same era.

Make sure you've got the latest & greatest firmware for the box as well.
Early firmwares seemed to be a bit ordinary in how they presented SMP to
the OS

My proliant 800 doesn't support smp if I choose "Unix" for OS type. Try
choose other OS, that is recognized by BIOS as smp-capable. Windows NT
or so should work.
