[cisco-voip] BIOS message saying Wrong Clock Speed

Hi Anthony,

Let's step back a moment.  This problem is triggered by incorrect MTM 
string.  The MTM is configurable on the system board by IBM.  IBM sets 
specific MTM value in the motherboard before they OEM to Cisco. If a 
Cisco MCS box in a customer environment has system board RMA'd then IBM 
is supposed to set the Cisco specific MTM.  They can do this before 
shipping the board out or an IBM FE can go onsite and set the MTM.  
Either way it must be set.

Now for your specific case.  The question appears to be how your system 
board got an incorrect MTM string.  Did you previously RMA the system board?
