1 HP Integrity Superdome 2 system overview The HP Integrity Superdome 2 is a blade-based high-end server platform supporting the Intel Itanium 9300 processor family. Superdome 2 incorporates a modular design to enable increased scalability through the addition of server blades and external I/O enclosures. Superdome 2 complexes use CAMnet manageability fabric that supports partitioning of server blade resources in both nPartitions and virtual partitions. Superdome 2 also includes remote system management functionality through the HP Onboard Administrator which helps monitor and manage complex resources, including partitioning. NOTE: HP Integrity Superdome 2 is not an upgrade to existing Superdome sx1000/sx2000 systems. HP Integrity Superdome 2 incorporates all new components, including server blades and blade enclosures. Complex components A Superdome 2 complex consists of the following components: • Minimum of one Superdome 2 compute enclosure-The compute enclosure contains the server blades, I/O interconnect modules (for blade-based I/O), and manageability modules of the complex, and an integrated LCD Insight Display that can be used for basic enclosure maintenance and displays the overall enclosure health. An SD2-8s complex is a single compute enclosure capable of supporting up to eight Superdome 2 server blades, but is limited to maximum of four server blades per partition. An SD2-16s complex is a single compute enclosure supporting up to eight server blades with a maximum of 8 server blades per partition. Superdome 2 compute enclosures are supported in HP 10000 36U and 42U racks. • One or more Superdome 2 server blades in a complex-Each Superdome 2 server blade contains two Intel Itanium 9300 series processors and 32 DDR3 DIMM memory sockets. NOTE: A minimum of one Superdome 2 server blade is required in the first device bay of the monarch compute enclosure in a Superdome 2 complex. All enclosures must have either a Superdome 2 server blade or a CAMnet completer module installed in the first and second device bays to ensure proper CAMnet management fabric functionality. • Up to eight Superdome 2 I/O expansion enclosures for SD2-16s complexes, or up to four IOX enclosures for SD2-8s complexes. NOTE: At first release, each Superdome 2 complex will only support four IOX enclosures. HP Integrity Superdome 2 SD2-16s complexes that are factory-integrated also include an LCD touchscreen display on the rack door that displays the overall complex health and can be used to access basic complex information. Power subsystem Superdome 2 compute enclosures support two power input modules using either single phase or 3-phase power cords. Connecting two ac sources to each power input module provides 2N redundancy for ac input and ac output of the power supplies. SD2-16s, and SD2-8s complexes contain 12 power supplies per compute enclosure to provide a fully loaded system with the required power. Twelve power supplies give 2N redundancy, which can support the failure of a power supply or an ac power source (but not simultaneously). Six power supplies are installed in the upper section of the enclosure, and six power supplies are installed in the lower section of the enclosure. Complex components 5

1 HP Integrity Superdome 2 system overview
The HP Integrity Superdome 2 is a blade-based high-end server platform supporting the Intel
Itanium 9300 processor family. Superdome 2 incorporates a modular design to enable increased
scalability through the addition of server blades and external I/O enclosures. Superdome 2
complexes use CAMnet manageability fabric that supports partitioning of server blade resources
in both nPartitions and virtual partitions. Superdome 2 also includes remote system management
functionality through the HP Onboard Administrator which helps monitor and manage complex
resources, including partitioning.
NOTE:
HP Integrity Superdome 2 is not an upgrade to existing Superdome sx1000/sx2000
systems. HP Integrity Superdome 2 incorporates all new components, including server blades
and blade enclosures.
Complex components
A Superdome 2 complex consists of the following components:
•
Minimum of one Superdome 2 compute enclosure—The compute enclosure contains the
server blades, I/O interconnect modules (for blade-based I/O), and manageability modules
of the complex, and an integrated LCD Insight Display that can be used for basic enclosure
maintenance and displays the overall enclosure health. An SD2-8s complex is a single
compute enclosure capable of supporting up to eight Superdome 2 server blades, but is
limited to maximum of four server blades per partition. An SD2-16s complex is a single
compute enclosure supporting up to eight server blades with a maximum of 8 server blades
per partition. Superdome 2 compute enclosures are supported in HP 10000 36U and 42U
racks.
•
One or more Superdome 2 server blades in a complex—Each Superdome 2 server blade
contains two Intel Itanium 9300 series processors and 32 DDR3 DIMM memory sockets.
NOTE:
A minimum of one Superdome 2 server blade is required in the first device bay of
the monarch compute enclosure in a Superdome 2 complex. All enclosures must have either
a Superdome 2 server blade or a CAMnet completer module installed in the first and second
device bays to ensure proper CAMnet management fabric functionality.
•
Up to eight Superdome 2 I/O expansion enclosures for SD2-16s complexes, or up to four
IOX enclosures for SD2-8s complexes.
NOTE:
At first release, each Superdome 2 complex will only support four IOX enclosures.
HP Integrity Superdome 2 SD2-16s complexes that are factory-integrated also include an LCD
touchscreen display on the rack door that displays the overall complex health and can be used
to access basic complex information.
Power subsystem
Superdome 2 compute enclosures support two power input modules using either single phase
or 3-phase power cords. Connecting two ac sources to each power input module provides 2N
redundancy for ac input and ac output of the power supplies. SD2–16s, and SD2–8s complexes
contain 12 power supplies per compute enclosure to provide a fully loaded system with the
required power. Twelve power supplies give 2N redundancy, which can support the failure of
a power supply or an ac power source (but not simultaneously). Six power supplies are installed
in the upper section of the enclosure, and six power supplies are installed in the lower section
of the enclosure.
