Page 17: Server (Front View Without Bezel)
Figure 1-2 Server (Front View With Bezel) Figure 1-3 Server (Front View Without Bezel) The server has the following dimensions: • Depth: Defined by cable management constraints to fit into a standard 36-inch deep rack: 25.5 inches from front rack column to PCI connector surface Detailed Server Description... -
Page 18: Server (Rear View)
26.7 inches from front rack column to core I/O card connector surface 30 inches overall package dimension, including 2.7 inches protruding in front of the front rack columns • Width: 17.5 inches, constrained by EIA standard 19-inch racks • Height: 17 U (29.55 inches), constrained by package density The mass storage section located in the front enables access to removable media drives without removal of the bezel. -
Page 19: Front Panel
The cell boards are located on the right side of the server behind a removable side cover. For rack mounted servers on slides, the rack front door requires removal if it is hinged on the right side of the rack. Removal will allow unrestricted access to server sides after sliding server out for service.. -
Page 20: Pdh Riser Board
Figure 1-6 Cell Board The server has a 48 V distributed power system and receives the 48 V power from the system backplane board. The cell board contains DC-to-DC converters to generate the required voltage rails. The DC-to-DC converters on the cell board do not provide N+1 redundancy. The cell board contains the following major buses: •... -
Page 21: Central Processor Units
Central Processor Units The cell board can hold up to four CPU modules. Each CPU module can contain up to two CPU cores on a single die. Modules are populated in increments of one. On a cell board, the processor modules must be the same family, type, and clock frequencies. -
Page 22: Dimms
The memory subsystem comprises four independent quadrants. Each quadrant has its own memory data bus connected from the cell controller to the two buffers for the memory quadrant. Each quadrant also has two memory control buses: one for each buffer. Figure 1-8 Memory Subsystem DIMMs The memory DIMMs used by the server are custom designed by HP. -
Page 23: Valid Memory Configurations
Valid Memory Configurations The first cell must have one DIMM pair loaded in slots 0A/0B. The server can support as little as 2 GB of main memory using two 1 GB DIMMs installed on one of the cell boards and as much as 512 GB by filling all 16 DIMM slots on all four cell boards with 8 GB DIMMs. -
Page 24: Cells And Npartitions
Cells and nPartitions An nPartition comprises one or more cells working as a single system. Any I/O chassis that is attached to a cell belonging to an nPartition is also assigned to the nPartition. Each I/O chassis has PCI card slots, I/O cards, attached devices, and a core I/O card assigned to the I/O chassis. On the server, each nPartition has its own dedicated portion of the server hardware which can run a single instance of the operating system. -

IMPORTANT: Always refer to the PCI card's manufacturer for the specific PCI card performance specifications. PCI, PCI-X mode 1, and PCI-X mode 2 cards are supported at different clock speeds. Select the appropriate PCI-X I/O slot for best performance. Table 1-8 PCI-X Slot Types I/O Partition Slot Maximum MHz... -
Page 30: Pcie Slot Boot Paths
Each PCI/PCI-X slot has a host-to-PCI bridge associated with it, and each PCIe slot has a host-to-PCIe bridge associated with it. A dual slot hot swap controller chip and related logic is also associated with each pair of PCI or PCIe slots. The I/O chip on either cell location 0 or 1 is a primary I/O system interface. -
Page 31: Core I/O Card
NOTE: The differences between the PCI X backplane and the PCIe backplane are as follows: • Twelve ropes are bundled in two rope pairs to 6 LBAs to support 6 slots for PCI and PCI-X cards instead of 14. These ropes are capable of 133MHz. •... -
