Sx2000: Each backplane contains 3 independent crossbar fabrics resulting in a robust highly available
system. A High speed serial (HSS) link technology is employed for crossbars interconnect. Each
backplane cabinet can support up to eight cells. Eight cells support a 32 processor module Superdome.
Two backplanes (two cabinets) can be linked together with flex cables to produce a complex that can
support up to 16 cells resulting in a 64 processor module Superdome (64 core Itanium 2 (Mad9M)).
Sx1000: Each crossbar backplane contains two sets of two crossbar chips that provide a non blocking
connection between eight cells and the other backplane. Each backplane cabinet can support up to
eight cells. A backplane supporting four cells results in a 16 processor Superdome (16 core Itanium 2
Madison or 32 core Itanium2 mx2). Similarly, a backplane supporting eight cells would result in a 32
processor Superdome (32 core Itanium 2 Madison or 64 core Itanium 2 mx2). Two backplanes can be
linked together with flex cables to produce a cabinet that can support up to 16 cells resulting in a 64
processor Superdome (128 core Dual core Itanium 2 or 64 core Itanium 2 (Mad9M)).
Each I/O chassis provides twelve I/O slots.
SX1000: Superdome PA 8600 and Superdome PA 8700 support I/O chassis with 12 PCI 66 capable
slots, eight PCI 2x, supported via single (1x) ropes (266 MB/s peak) and four PCI 4x, supported via dual
(1x) ropes (533 MB/s peak). Superdome PA 8600 and PA 8700 systems support PCI I/O chassis only.
Superdome PA 8800/PA 8900 supports I/O chassis with 12 PCI X 133 capable slots, eight PCI 4x,
supported via single enhanced (2x) ropes (533 MB/s peak) and four PCI X supported via dual enhanced
(2x) ropes (1066 MB/s peak). Superdome PA 8800/PA 8900 will be shipped with PCI X I/O chassis, but
supports both PCI and PCI X I/O chassis for in field upgrades.
Sx2000: The sx2000 Superdome supports I/O chassis with two PCI-X 266 MHz slots, six PCI-X 133MHz
slots and 4 PCI -X 66 MHz slots. These I/O chassis employ a PCI-X bus for each I/O slot. PCI-X mode 2
is supported.
Each Superdome cabinet supports a maximum of four I/O chassis. The optional I/O expansion
cabinet can support up to an additional six I/O chassis
A 4 cell Superdome (16 processor) supports up to four I/O chassis for a maximum of 48 PCI X
slots.
An 8 cell Superdome (32 processor) supports up to eight I/O chassis for a maximum of 96 PCI X
slots. Four of these I/O chassis will reside in an I/O expansion cabinet.
A 16 cell Superdome (64 processor) supports up to sixteen I/O chassis for a maximum of 192 PCI
X slots. Eight of these I/O chassis will reside in two I/O expansion cabinets (either six chassis in
one I/O expansion cabinet and two chassis in the other, or four chassis in each).
