Figures 2 and 3 show major components of the HP Integrity rx7620-16 Server, as well as the system's
mechanical and architectural features. Figure 2 shows the Integrity rx7620-16 Server with its front
plastic bezel and top and left side panels removed.
A peripheral bay located at the top front of the Integrity rx7620-16 Server provides space for four
hot-plug disk drives and one removable-media device (DVD or DAT). Directly below the peripheral
bay are two PCI-X power bricks, which supply DC power for the PCI-X backplane. Below the power
supplies are two redundant hot-swappable cooling fans. These fans pull cool air in from the front and
force air to the rear, cooling the system's internal components. At the bottom is the bulk power supply
(BPS) bay, which houses two redundant (2N) hot-swap power supplies with dual grid support.
The illustration also shows the right side of the Integrity rx7620-16 Server, with a view of the cell
board bay, which supports up to two cell boards. The cell boards contain processors, memory, and
cell controller chips.
Figure 3 is a rear view of the Integrity rx7620-16 Server showing the location of the two hot-
swappable 150 mm exhaust fans and the I/O bay bulkhead directly above them. The core I/O cards
are located at the right edge of the unit.
The system backplane board houses the linkages used for communications between cell boards, I/O,
and internal peripherals. The Integrity rx7620-16 Server's I/O card bay is located at the top rear of
the system. It contains 15 PCI-X card slots, all supporting hot-plug functionality.
The bottom rear of the Integrity rx7620-16 Server has inputs for the 2+2 redundant line cords.
Because of the high degree of connectivity offered in the Integrity rx7620-16 Server, a cable
management arm (not shown) is provided in racked systems for dressing cables and simplifying cable
routing (available only on racked systems).
The Integrity rx7620-16 and rx8620-32 Servers share many system components and design features.
The similarities are evident in Figures 4 and 5, which show the major components and architectural
features of the Integrity rx8620-32 Server.
