If you still have the box in which the system came, I suspect there
will be a list of things in there, and in that info there may be
statements as to the frequency of CPU. If nothing else, you can take
whatver part numbers there are and look them up in partsurfer.hp.com.
Perhaps one of the part/product numbers is a "bundle" that implies the
CPU frequency.
As for a running system, I suspect that somewhere in the firmware will
be some indication of CPU frequency - an "INfo" menu or
"COnfiguration" or somesuch. More details on that may be in
hardware/system manuals which are/should be online at docs.hp.com.
If you have an OS running on the system, and that OS happens to be
HP-UX (although I initially saw this in comp.os.vms...) then if you
run netperf -t LOC_CPU having compiled for -DUSE_PSTAT, on an idle
system, the resulting figure will be very very close to the clock rate
of the system - because netperf uses the rate at which a CPU idle
cycle counter increments to determine system-wide CPU load.
UX online diagnostics might also report CPU frequency. I'm not sure
what is there on VMS.
