Two backplane clock power detectors – one for each 8-way sine clock power splitter are on the RCS. The backplane power detector sits at the end of the clock tree and measures the amplitude of the clock from the RCS to determine if it is providing a signal of the correct amplitude to the cell boards and XBCs.

    Overview Backplane (Fabric) The HSO connects to the system backplane through an HMZD2X10 right-angle receptacle. sx2000 RCS Module The sx2000 RCS module supplies clocks to the Superdome sx2000 backplane, communicates clock alarm to the RPM, and accepts control input from the RPM. It has an I2C EEPROM on the module so that the the firmware can inventory the module on system power up.

  • Page 39: Cabinet Id

    Overview Backplane (Fabric) If one of the HSOs outputs does not have the correct amplitude then the RCS uses the other one as the source of clocks and sends an alarm signal to the RPM indicating which oscillator failed. The green LED is lit on the good HSO and the yellow LED is lit on the failed HSO.

    Overview CPUs and Memories CPUs and Memories The cell provides the processing and memory resources required by each sx2000 system configuration. Each cell is comprises the following components: four processor module sockets, a single cell (or coherency) controller ASIC, a high-speed crossbar interface, a high-speed I/O interface, eight memory controller ASICs, capacity for up to 32 double-data rate (DDR) DIMMs, high-speed clock distribution circuitry, a management subsystem interface, scan (JTAG) circuitry for manufacturing test, and a low-voltage DC power interface.

  • Page 42: Processor Interface

    Overview CPUs and Memories The remote I/O link provides a self-correcting, high-speed communication pathway between the cell and the I/O subsystem through a pair of cables. Sustained I/O bandwidth is 5.5 GBs for a 50 percent inbound and outbound mix, and roughly 4.2 GBs for a range of mixes. The CC interfaces to the cell's memory system. The memory interface is capable of providing a sustained bandwidth of 14 to 16 GBs at 266.67 MH to the cell controller.

  • Page 43: Figure 1-9 Cell Memory

    Overview CPUs and Memories platforms may support DIMMs based on non monolithic (or stacked) DRAMs, which are incompatible with the sx2000. There is no support for the use of the older SDRAM DIMMs designed for Superdome. Cell memory is illustrated in Figure 1-9. Figure 1-9 Cell Memory DIMMs are named according to both physical location and loading order.

    Double chip kill is an extension to memory chip kill that enables the system to correct multiple ECC errors in an ECC code word. HP labs developed the ECC algorithm and the first implementation of this technology is in platforms using the sx2000 chipset. Double chip kill is also known as DRAM erasure.

  • Page 47: Platform Dependant Hardware

    Overview CPUs and Memories Platform Dependant Hardware The platform dependent hardware's (PDH) includes functionality that is required by both system and management firmware. Features provided by the PDH provide the following features: - An interface that is capable of passing multiple forms of information between system firmware and the management processor (MP, on the SBC) by the platform dependant hardware controller (PDHC, on the PDH daughter card) - Flash EPROM for PDHC boot code storage.

  • Page 48: I/O Subsystem

    Overview I/O Subsystem I/O Subsystem The sx2000 I/O backplane (SIOBP) is an update of the sx1000 I/O backplane, with a new set of chips that increase the board’s internal bandwidth and support the newer PCI-X 2.0 protocol. The sx2000 I/O backplane uses most of the same mechanical parts as the sx1000 I/O backplane.

  • Page 49: Figure 1-10 I/O Rope Mapping

    SBA Chip: CC-to-Ropes The SBA chip communicates with the CC on the cell board via a pair of high-speed serial unidirectional links known as HSS or E-links. Each unidirectional E-link consists of 20 serial 8b/10b encoded differential data bits operating at 2.36 GT/s. This yields a peak total bidirectional HSS link bandwidth of 8.5 GB/s. Internally, SBA routes this high-speed data to/from one of two rope units.
