HP rp8400 Server Model
HP rp8400 servers are scalable systems that, like HP Superdome and
HP rp7410 servers, allow you a tremendous amount of configurability.
While HP rp8400 servers have a smaller capacity than Superdome
servers, they include the same features for adapting the server resources
to your needs.
HP rp8400 servers include complete support for hard partitions
(nPartitions). You can configure a single nPartition using some or all
cells, or can configure up to 2 separate nPartitions within an HP rp8400
server complex.
In a multiple-partition HP rp8400 complex, you would use cell 0 and its
core I/O in one nPartition, and use cell 1 and its core I/O in the other
nPartition. Any other cells (cells 2 and 3) could be assigned to either of
the two nPartitions, or could be unassigned.
The HP rp8400 server model includes these features:
A single server cabinet that includes all cells, I/O chassis, processors,
memory, PCI cards, and core I/O.
From 1 to 4 cells, each with up to 4 PA-RISC processors 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.
Up to 2 core I/O devices, one connected to cell 0, and the other
connected to cell 1.
A total server complex capacity of: 4 cells, 16 processors, 64 DIMMs,
and 16 PCI card slots.
The model string for HP rp8400 servers is 9000/800/S16K-A.
