Platform.

Cluster Component Documentation

A cluster is mostly assembled from existing HP components and each component has its own

documentation set. Two full sets of documentation for each type of component are included with

the cluster when it is delivered. For example, the following component documentation might be

included, depending on the configuration of the cluster and the operating system that is installed:

•

HP Integrity (rx-series) or HP ProLiant (DL-series and BL-series) server documentation

•

ProCurve 2626 and 2650 network switches

•

ProCurve 2824 and 2848 Gigabit Ethernet interconnects

•

HP 10000 Series racks including the following rack components:

—

TFT7600 rackmount keyboard and monitor

—

TFT5600 rackmount keyboard and monitor

—

Console switch and expansion module

—

High-Voltage 24A or 40A power distribution unit (PDU)

•

Optional storage, in the form of disk shelves (

just a bunch of disks

(JBOD), a storage area

network (SAN) unit or a separate modular storage cluster

Depending on the component, documentation might be in electronic format on CD-ROMs or in

the printed documentation kit delivered with cluster. If you need to know more about the features

of particular cluster components, you can obtain additional component documentation from the

following URL:
