The HP 9000 rp7440 Server was designed to provide industry leading performance density and
availability when ordered in a racked configuration. At 10 EIA units (17.5 inches), four HP 9000 rp7440
servers can be mounted into a single HP two meter cabinet (HP 10K G2 Universal rack).
The HP 9000 rp7440 Server industrial design and packaging was designed to allow easy and quick
access to all of the system's components. The most frequently handled devices, removable media and
disks, are directly accessible at the system's front. By removing the front bezel, hot swap fans, hot swap
power supplies, and PCI power supplies can be completely serviced. At the rear, core I/O and more hot
swap fans are directly accessible. For access to all other components, the rack mounted HP 9000
rp7440 Server comes with rack sliders.
These rack sliders enables the HP 9000 rp7440 Server to be slid forward out of the HP cabinet for
servicing of internal components such as fans, cell boards, and I/O cards, while the system is still
running. The sliders also allows for servicing or replacement of any FRU (field replaceable unit) without
removing the chassis from the cabinet. The HP 9000 rp7440 Server industrial design and slider strategy
enables access and removal of any FRU within 15 minutes or less. This design feature minimizes the
downtime associated with system upgrades in the rare event of a component failure. Also included with
ever rack mounted HP 9000 rp7440 Server is a cable management arm (CMA) The CMA neatly secures
data cables and prevents cables from becoming entangled while servicing of the system.
Management of local UPSs for the rp7440 and rx8640 is now through a LAN port on the core I/O card.
Management of UPSs by the predecessor, rx7620 and rx8620 servers was through a serial port on the
core I/O. The serial port is not available on the rp7440 and rx8640 servers. Therefore, when upgrading
or adding rp7440 and rx8640 servers to your environment and using local UPSs (as opposed to
datacenter wide UPSs), make sure there is a LAN management card available on the local UPS.
The HP 9000 and HP 9000 servers are supported for field installs into these racks. Factory integration is
not yet supported for HP 10000 and HP 9000 racks. Differing depth requirements of the HP 9000/HP
9000 racking kits preclude racking HP 9000/HP 9000 servers and HP ProLiant servers in the same
racks.
HP Servers are designed to maximize performance density when installed into HP Rack Systems. HP
system Rack Systems maintain the high level of safety and reliability of HP Server solutions that customers
have come to expect. Although HP strongly recommends racking servers in HP Rack Systems, it is
recognizes that some customer circumstances may prohibit this. For those customers, HP has developed
a set of guidelines that when followed, enables server installations into third party cabinets. It is extremely
important that the guidelines be followed due to the wide variety of cabinets in the market place.
