HP Integrity Superdome Servers: 16-way, 32-way, and 64-way QuickSpecs Configuration There are three basic building blocks in the Superdome system architecture: the cell, the crossbar backplane and the PCI X based I/O subsystem. Cabinets Starting with the sx1000 chip set, Superdome servers will be released with the Graphite color. A Superdome system will consist of up to four different types of cabinet assemblies: One Superdome left cabinet.
HP Integrity Superdome Servers: 16-way, 32-way, and 64-way QuickSpecs Configuration I/O Subsystem Each I/O chassis provides twelve PCI X slots; eight standard and four high bandwidth PCI X slots. There are two I/O chassis in an I/O Chassis Enclosure (ICE). Each I/O chassis connects to one cell board and the number of I/O chassis supported is dependent on the number of cells present in the system. If a PCI card is inserted into a PCI X slot, the card cannot take advantage of the faster slot.
HP Integrity Superdome Servers: 16-way, 32-way, and 64-way QuickSpecs Configuration I/O Expansion Cabinet The I/O expansion functionality is physically partitioned into four rack mounted chassis-the I/O expansion utilities chassis (XUC), the I/O expansion rear display module (RDM), the I/O expansion power chassis (XPC) and the I/O chassis enclosure (ICE). Each ICE supports up to two 12-slot PCI-X chassis.
HP Integrity Superdome Servers: 16-way, 32-way, and 64-way QuickSpecs Configuration DVD Solution The DVD solution for Superdome requires the following components. These components are recommended per partition, although it is acceptable to have only one DVD solution and connect it to one partition at a time. External racks A4901A and A4902A must also be ordered with the DVD solution.
