The I/O chassis enclosure (ICE) provides expanded I/O capability for Superdome. Each ICE supports up
to 24 I/O slots by using two 12 slot Superdome I/O chassis. The I/O chassis installation in the ICE puts
the I/O cards in a horizontal position. An ICE supports one or two 12 slot I/O chassis. The I/O chassis
enclosure (ICE) is designed to mount in an HP Universal 10K G2 rack and consumes 9U of vertical rack
space.
To provide online addition/replacement/deletion access to I/O cards and hot swap access for I/O fans,
all I/O chassis are mounted on a sliding shelf inside the ICE.
Four (N+1) I/O fans mounted in the rear of the ICE provide cooling for the chassis. Air is pulled through
the front as well as the I/O chassis lid (on the side of the ICE) and exhausted out the rear. The I/O fan
assembly is hot swappable. An LED on each I/O fan assembly indicates that the fan is operating.
Although the individual I/O expansion cabinet components are designed for installation in an HP
Universal 10K G2 rack, rack size limitations have been agreed upon. In order to allay service access
concerns, the factory will not install IOX components higher than 1.6 meters from the floor. Open space
in an IOX cabinet will be available for peripheral installation.
Refer to the 10K G2 Series Rack Best Practices Guide for information on rack deployment, stabilization,
and transportation. Go to:
All peripherals qualified for use with Superdome and/or for use in a Universal 10K G2 are supported in
the I/O expansion cabinet as long as there is available space. Peripherals not connected to or
associated with the Superdome system to which the I/O expansion cabinet is attached may be installed
in the I/O expansion cabinet.
No servers except those required for Superdome system management such as Superdome Support
Management Station or ISEE may be installed in an I/O expansion.
Peripherals installed in the I/O expansion cabinet cannot be powered by the XPC. Provisions for
peripheral AC power must be provided by a PDU or other means.
If an I/O expansion cabinet is ordered alone, its field installation can be ordered via option 750 in the
ordering guide.
