The latest release of Superdome, HP Integrity Superdome supports the new and improved sx1000 chip set. HP Integrity Superdome supports the following
processors:
Itanium 2 1.5 GHz and 1.6-GHz processors
PA 8800
HP mx2 processor module based on two Itanium 2 processors
HP Integrity Superdome cannot support both PA-8800 and Itanium processors in the same system, even if they are on different partitions. However, it is
possible to have the Itanium 2 1.5-GHz processor, the Itanium 2 1.6-GHz processor and the HP mx2 processor module in the same system, but on different
partitions.
Throughout the rest of this document, the term HP Integrity Superdome with Itanium 2 1.5 GHz processors, Itanium 2 1.6-GHz processors or mx2 processor
modules will be referred to as simply "Superdome".
Superdome with Itanium processors showcases HP's commitment to delivering a 64 socket Itanium server and superior investment protection. It is the dawn
of a new era in high end computing with the emergence of commodity based hardware.
Superdome supports a multi OS environment. Currently, HP UX, Windows Server 2003, Red Hat RHEL AS 3, and SUSE SLES 9 are shipping with Integrity
Superdome Customers can order any combination of HP UX 11i v2, Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition, or RHEL AS 3, running in separate hard
