Cache memory

Your HP XP7 can be configured with up to 512 GB of cache memory per controller chassis (1 TB
for a two-module system). Each controller chassis can contain from two to eight cache memory
adapter boards. Each board contains from 8 GB to 64 GB.
Cache memory adaptor boards are installed in pairs and work together to provide cache and
shared memory for the system. Each pair is called a cluster. From one to four cache clusters can
be installed in a controller.
