Overview Configuration Rules Configuration Rules The hp Integrity Superdome and/or hp 9000 Superdome rules for configuration are as follows: • Single-cabinet system: - Two to 32 CPUs per complex with single-core processors - Four to 64 CPU cores per complex with dual-core processors - Minimum of one cell - Maximum of eight cells • Dual-cabinet system: - Six to 64 CPU cores per complex with single core processors - Twelve to 128 CPU cores per complex with dual-core processors - Minimum of three cells - Maximum of 16 cells • No master/checker support for dual-core processors • No mixing of processor types within a partition Processors running at different frequencies are not allowed within the same partition. Processors with different steppings may not be allowed depending on the stepping changes. Each family of Itanium® Processor Family Itanium® 2 processors must be in different partitions. • Homogeneous cell board population; no mixing of older PA-RISC Superdome cell boards (PA-8700+, PA-8700, or PA-8600) with new Itanium® 2 or PA-8800 cell boards • No mixing of Itanium® 2 and PA-8800 cell boards in the same complex • Maximum of 32 DIMMs per cell. - 16-GB memory per cell with 128-Mb SDRAMs (512-MB DIMMs). - 32-GB memory per cell with 256-Mb SDRAMs (1-GB DIMMs). - 64-GB memory per cell with 512-Mb SDRAMs (2-GB DIMMs). - DIMM mixing is allowed • No SCA support. • Supported I/O subsystems with System Bus Adaptor (SBA) and Local Bus Adaptor (LBA) 8 Chapter 1
