The four-cell HP servers include these features: • A single server cabinet that includes cells, I/O chassis, processors, memory, PCI cards, and core I/O. Two PCI I/O chassis in the server cabinet 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. • An optional I/O expansion cabinet that provides an additional two core I/O cards and an additional two I/O domains each containing eight PCI card slots (for a total of 16 more PCI card slots). Two PCI I/O chassis in the I/O expansion cabinet share the same chassis hardware. One I/O chassis is connected to cell 2, the other is connected to cell 3. • From one to four cells. Each cell has four processor sockets and up to 16 DIMMs. • A total server complex capacity of: 4 cells, 16 processor sockets, 64 DIMMs, and either 16 or 32 PCI card slots. Four-cell HP servers include a single server cabinet that can be rack-mounted or stand-alone. An optional I/O expansion cabinet may also be used to provide I/O connected to cell 2 and cell 3. Superdome Server Models HP Superdome servers scale up to 16 cells. The following types of HP Superdome servers are supported: • The first-generation HP 9000 Superdome: SD16000, SD32000, and SD64000 • The HP sx1000-chipset-based HP 9000 Superdome: SD16A, SD32A, and SD64A • The HP sx1000-chipset-based HP Integrity Superdome server: SD16A, SD32A, and SD64A • The HP sx2000-chipset based HP 9000 Superdome server: SD16B, SD32B, and SD32B, and SD64B • The HP sx2000-chipset based HP Integrity Superdome server: SD16B, SD32B, and SD64B A Support Management Station (SMS) is connected to each HP Superdome server through the service processor private LAN port. The SMS is either an HP-UX workstation or an HP ProLiant system running Microsoft® Windows®. The SMS primarily is used for support and service purposes. The Windows SMS supports Windows versions of Partition Manager and the nPartition commands, thus enabling remote administration of nPartitions from the SMS. For details see "SMS (Support Management Station) for HP Superdome Servers" (page 67). You can add up to two Superdome I/O expansion cabinets to the Superdome 32-way/64-way and Superdome 64-way/128-way server models. Each I/O expansion cabinet has up to six additional 12-slot I/O chassis. Figure 2-3 shows an overview of an HP Superdome server compute cabinet.
