Figure 4 shows a front view of the Integrity rx8620-32 Server with its front plastic bezel and top and
left side panels removed.
A peripheral bay located at the top front of the Integrity rx8620-32 Server provides space for four
hot-plug disk drives and two removable-media devices (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 nine 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
bay, which houses up to six redundant (2N+1) hot-swap power supplies.
The figure also shows the side of the Integrity rx8620-32 Server, with a view of the cell card cage.
This cage supports up to four cell boards that processors, memory, and cell controller chips reside on.

Figure 5 is a rear view of the Integrity rx8620-32 Server showing the location of the 12 hot-
swappable 120 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.
Visible here is the system backplane board, which houses the high-bandwidth crossbar used for
communications between cell cards, I/O, and internal peripherals. The Integrity rx8620-32 Server's
I/O card bay is located at the top rear of the system. It contains 16 PCI-X card slots, all supporting
hot-plug functionality.
The bottom rear of the Integrity rx8620-32 Server has inputs for the 2+2 redundant line cords.
Because of the high degree of connectivity offered in the Integrity rx8620-32 Server, a cable
management arm is provided for dressing cables and simplifying cable routing. (The cable
management arm is not shown here and is available only on Integrity rx8620-32 Server racked
systems.)
