Two-Cell nPartition Server Model The following cell-based HP servers scale from one to two cells: • The HP rp7405/rp7410 server has single-core HP PA-RISC processors. The model string is: 9000/800/rp7410. • The HP rp7420 server has dual-core HP PA-RISC processors: PA-8800 processors, which provide two processor cores per processor socket. The model string is: 9000/800/rp7420. • The HP rp7440 server has dual-core HP PA-RISC processors: PA-8900 processors, which provide two processor cores per processor socket. The model string is: 9000/800/rp7440. • The HP rx7620 server has Intel® Itanium® 2 processors, either single-processor modules or HP mx2 dual-processor modules. Both HP mx2 dual-processor modules and single Itanium 2 processors can exist in the same complex, but they cannot be mixed in the same nPartition. The model command output is: ia64 hp rx7620 server. • The HP rx7640 server has single-core or dual-core Intel® Itanium® 2 processors. The model command output is: ia64 hp rx7640 server. Figure 2-1 shows a two-cell HP server cabinet. Figure 2-1 Two-Cell HP Server Cabinet On the two-cell HP servers you can configure a single nPartition using one or both cells, or can configure up to two separate nPartitions within the server complex. In a two-nPartition complex, you use cell 0 and its core I/O in one nPartition, and use cell 1 and its core I/O in the other nPartition. The two-cell HP server models includes these features: • A single server cabinet that includes all cells, I/O chassis, processors, memory, PCI cards, and core I/O. • Either one or two cells. Each cell has up to four processor sockets and up to 16 DIMMs. • Two PCI I/O chassis that share the same chassis hardware. One I/O chassis is connected to cell 0, the other is connected to cell 1. Each I/O chassis has 8 PCI card slots, numbered from 1 to 8. Server Hardware Details: Cell-Based HP Servers 55
