Introduction

The HP 9000 rp3410 server is a 1P/1C, 1P/2C, rack- or pedestal-mount server. Similarly, the HP 9000 rp3440

server is a 1P/1C, 1P/2C, or 2P/2C, rack- or pedestal-mount server. Both of these servers are based on the

PA-RISC processor family architecture. The server accommodates up to 12 DIMMs and internal peripherals

including disks and DVD. Its high availability features include hot-swappable power supplies and

hot-pluggable disk drives. The supported operating system is HP-UX 11i v1 (and newer HP-UX versions that
