Introduction Server Description Server Description Dimensions The dimensions of the HP 9000 rp7420 Server are as follows: • Width: 44.45 cm (17.5 inches), constrained by EIA standard 19 inch racks • Depth: Defined by cable management constraints to fit into standard 36-inch deep racks (Rittal/Compaq, Rosebowl I): 25.5 inches from front rack column to PCI connector surface 26.7 inches from front rack column to MP Core I/O connector surface 30 inches overall package dimension, including 2.7 inches protruding in front of the front rack columns • Height: 10U - 0.54 cm = 43.91 cm (17.287 inches). This is the appropriate height for a product that consumes 10U of rack height while allowing adequate clearance between products directly above and below this product. Fitting four server units per 2 m rack and upgrade of current 10U height products in the future are the main height constraints. System Chassis The mass storage section located in the front allows access to removable mass storage devices without removal of the bezel (not shown). This is especially helpful when the system is mounted in the lowest position in a rack. The mass storage bay accommodates one 5.25-inch removable media device and up to four 3.5-inch hard drives. The front panel display board, containing LEDs and the system power switch, is located directly above the 5.25-inch removable media bay. Below the mass storage section and behind a removable bezel are two PCI DC-to-DC power converters. The BPS section is partitioned by a sealed metallic enclosure located in the bottom of the package. This enclosure houses the N+1 fully redundant BPS. 26 Chapter 1

Server Description
Dimensions
The dimensions of the HP 9000 rp7420 Server are as follows:
Width: 44.45 cm (17.5 inches), constrained by EIA standard 19 inch racks
Depth: Defined by cable management constraints to fit into standard 36-inch deep racks (Rittal/Compaq,
Rosebowl I):
25.5 inches from front rack column to PCI connector surface
26.7 inches from front rack column to MP Core I/O connector surface
30 inches overall package dimension, including 2.7 inches protruding in front of the front rack columns
Height: 10U – 0.54 cm = 43.91 cm (17.287 inches). This is the appropriate height for a product that
consumes 10U of rack height while allowing adequate clearance between products directly above and
below this product. Fitting four server units per 2 m rack and upgrade of current 10U height products in
the future are the main height constraints.
System Chassis
The mass storage section located in the front allows access to removable mass storage devices without
removal of the bezel (not shown). This is especially helpful when the system is mounted in the lowest position
in a rack. The mass storage bay accommodates one 5.25-inch removable media device and up to four 3.5-inch
hard drives. The front panel display board, containing LEDs and the system power switch, is located directly
above the 5.25-inch removable media bay.
Below the mass storage section and behind a removable bezel are two PCI DC-to-DC power converters.
The BPS section is partitioned by a sealed metallic enclosure located in the bottom of the package. This
enclosure houses the N+1 fully redundant BPS.
