  • Page 6: Hp Integrity Superdome 2 System Overview

    1 HP Integrity Superdome 2 system overview The HP Integrity Superdome 2 is a blade-based, high-end server platform supporting the Intel Itanium 9300 and 9500 processor family. Superdome 2 incorporates a modular design to enable increased scalability through the addition of server blades and external I/O enclosures. Superdome 2 complexes use the sx3000 crossbar fabric to interconnect CPU, memory and I/O resources into hard (nPartition) and/or virtual (vPar) partitions.
  • Page 7: Manageability Subsystem

    Superdome 2 IOX enclosures support two ac power supplies with a minimum of one power supply required to provide all necessary power to the enclosure and two power supplies providing 2N redundancy. Manageability subsystem Superdome 2 is managed by two Superdome 2 OAs that monitor both individual complex components and complex health.
  • Page 8: I/O Expansion Enclosure

    I/O expansion enclosure HP Integrity Superdome 2 complexes support up to eight IOX enclosures (four in SD2-8s complexes) to provide additional I/O for server blades through Superdome 2 crossbar fabric cables from the XFMs in the compute enclosure to IOX enclosures. In addition, CAMnet interconnection is provided through standard CAT6 cables from the GPSMs to the IOX enclosures.

Interconnect modules reside in bays located in the rear of the enclosure. Be sure to review Blade slot numbering to determine which external network connections on the interconnect modules are active.

This figure is developed with the absolute maximum configuration running applications designed to draw the maximum power possible.
  • Page 27 HP Integrity Superdome 2 utilizes variable speed fans to realize the most efficient use of air. The volume of air required varies with the temperature of the air supplied to the inlet of HP Integrity Superdome 2. The following table and chart illustrate the necessary volume of air to enable proper operation.
  • Page 28 NOTE: While this chart shows airflow volumes for temperatures exceeding the specified inlet air temperature maximum of 32° C, proper operation above this point is not guaranteed. Because the airflow/watt is quite low for Superdome 2, the exhaust air temperature is, by design, quite high.
  • Page 29: Air Quality Specifications

    Because these temperatures might be significantly higher than the temperatures of the other equipment in the data center, to not over-cool the air, you might have to adjust the set-points of the CRACs or CRAHs higher. Most standalone CRACs and CRAHs use return side temperature regulation rather than supply side.
