Component Documentation

An HP Cluster Platform is integrated from existing components such as servers, network switches,
and high-speed interconnects. If you need to know about the features of particular cluster
components, you can obtain component documentation from the following URL:
http://docs.hp.com/
A cluster's documentation kit includes two sets of documentation for each of the cluster
components. If the cluster is ordered with a pre-installed operating environment, a set of software
guides is also included in the documentation set.
Note:
Some models of interconnect that are integrated into clusters are not manufactured by HP. The
vendor documentation for these interconnects is not supplied with the cluster documentation
set. See the Preface section titled
