Mechanical Design And Packaging Of The Hp Integrity Rx2600 Server; Racking Density - HP rx2600 Overview

Mechanical design and packaging of the HP Integrity rx2600 server

The exploded view reveals the location of major components as well as the mechanical and architectural features
of the rx2600. The server is partitioned into three electrical partitions—the system board, including CPUs,
memory, and core I/O; the I/O backplane, including four PCI-X I/O slots; and the management processor board.

Two hot-swap power supply bays are located in the lower right corner of the server (when viewed from the front).
Just above the power supplies is a slimline optical media drive bay, supporting either a DVD or a DVD/CD-RW
combo drive. To the left of the unit's front are three bays for hot-plug hard disk drives. Directly behind the power
supplies and peripheral bays are four hot-swap cooling fans.
The left side of the system houses the I/O backplane and I/O card bay. There are four PCI-X slots in the I/O
card bay.
The right rear of the server contains the main system board. The system board contains two Intel Itanium 2
processor sockets, 12 memory DIMM slots, and the core I/O controllers. The management processor sits on an
independent circuit board that attaches to the rear of the main system board.

Racking density

The rx2600 is designed to provide unprecedented performance density. At only two EIA units (one EIA unit =
1.75 inches) per server, up to 20 systems can be installed into a single 2-meter HP cabinet.
The rx2600 is supported in HP Rack System/E and 10000 series racks. The rx2600 is also supported in a
variety of third-party, non-HP racks and cabinets.
Note: Dimensions for rack configuration are as follows: H = 3.4 inches (8.6 cm), D = 26.8 inches (68.0 cm),
W = 19 inches (48.2 cm).
