HP Superdome Server Models
HP Superdome servers are highly scalable systems that allow you a
tremendous amount of configurability to adapt the server resources to
meet your particular hardware and software needs.
HP Superdome servers include complete support for HP-UX hardware
partitions (nPartitions). You can configure a single nPartition using some
or all cells, or can configure multiple nPartitions within the same
Superdome server complex (up to one nPartition for each cell that has
core I/O attached).
You can add up to two Superdome I/O expansion cabinets to the
Superdome 32-way and 64-way models. Each I/O expansion cabinet has
up to 6 additional 12-slot I/O chassis.
The three Superdome models include:
• Superdome 16-way—This single-cabinet server has from 2 to 4
cells, each with 4 HP PA-RISC processors and up to 32 DIMMs.
The Superdome 16-way server can have up to 16 processors,
128 DIMMs, and up to 4 12-slot PCI I/O chassis.
The model string for Superdome 16-way servers is
9000/800/SD16000.
• Superdome 32-way—This single-cabinet server has from 2 to 8
cells, each with 4 HP PA-RISC processors and up to 32 DIMMs.
The Superdome 32-way server can have up to 32 processors,
256 DIMMs, up to 4 internal 12-slot PCI I/O chassis, plus optional I/O
expansion cabinet hardware.
The model string for Superdome 32-way servers is
9000/800/SD32000.
• Superdome 64-way—This tightly interconnected dual-cabinet
server has from 4 to 16 cells, each with 4 HP PA-RISC processors and
up to 32 DIMMs.
The Superdome 64-way server can have up to 64 processors,
512 DIMMs, and up to 8 internal 12-slot PCI I/O chassis. (Each of the
two cabinets in a Superdome 64-way server provides up to 32
processors, 256 DIMMs, and up to 4 12-slot PCI I/O chassis.) HP
