CentOS
Knows how to verify the processor`s type in Linux CentOS.
This method can be used to verify the processor`s type installed in your Server, and with this you can verify the CPU`s “socekt” besides knowing some technical specifications of the product. This method was performed in the Linux CentOS 6.7, but in other versions it can change some step-by-step sequency.
*Remembering it`s the full responsibility of the IT Administrator to analyze and to execute these commands. To perform this procedure it can be used a regular/avarage user, however we can use a login with special permission. Use it carefully.
- First, we are going to connect in the Server in which you want to know the processor`s type.
- After you had done the login in the Server, type cat /proc/cpuinfo and press <Enter>.
- It will appear many processor`s data, like its brand (vendor_id), the CPU`s model (“model_ name”), the CPU`s speed (“CPU_MHZ”), and other relevant information to see if the server needs na upgrade or to document the technical specifications of its network.
