Figure 6 Partition Rules - 8s NOTE: The loading rules for the SD2-8S are very similar to those for the SD2-16s except that no partitions larger than 4 blades are supported. This is a firmware limitation imposed on the SD2-8s. However, as seen from the loading options, all 8 blade slots can be populated in a SD2-8s. So you can have eight 1-blade partitions, four 2-blade partitions, two 4-blade partitions, or other combinations when a single partition is not larger than 4 blades. P - Preferred slotting For example, the best 4-blade partition uses slots 1, 3, 5, and 7. A - Alternative slotting For example, the alternative 4-blade partition uses slots 1, 2, 3, and 4. S - nPartition size Superdome 2 CPU / CPU module support HP Superdome 2 servers support the Itanium processor 9300 series. Table 4 (page 34) lists the processors and their core and I/O frequencies that are supported by HP Superdome 2. Two different Itanium processor 9300 series CPU frequency/cache bins are supported in all HP Superdome 2 systems (SD2-8s, SD2-16s ). Support for the various speed bins is as follows: Table 4 Processors supported on HP Superdome 2 Itanium Processor Family 9350, 185W 9340, 185W Core Frequency 1.73GHz base/ 1.86GHz boost 1.60GHz base/ 1.73GHz boost I/O Frequency Cache QPI: 4.8 GT/s SMI: 4.8/s 24MB Number of Number of cores threads/core 4 1-2 QPI 4.8 GT/s SMI: 4.8 20MB 4 1-2 GT/s 34 Planning nPartitions
