1 If the slot is used as a PCI slot, then either the 33MHz or 66MHz PCI frequency is supported. If the slot is used as a
PCI-X slot, then either the 66MHz or 133MHz PCI-X frequency is supported.

Core I/O Card
Up to two core I/O cards can be plugged into the HP 9000 rp8420 server. Two core I/O cards
allows for two I/O partitions to exist in the HP 9000 rp8420 server. The server can have up to
two partitions but the total number of partitions possible in a server with the Server Expansion
Unit attached is four.
The core I/O card is can be replaced with standby power applied. The system power to the core
I/O is handled in the hardware the same way a hot-plug PCI/PCI-X card is handled. Standby
power to core I/O is handled by power manager devices to limit inrush current during insertion.
Mass Storage (Disk) Backplane
Internal mass storage connections to disks are routed on the mass storage backplane, having
connectors and termination logic. All hard disks are hot-plug while removable media disks are
not hot-plug. The HP 9000 rp8420 server accommodates two internal, removable media devices.
Therefore, power connectors for a removable media device are required on the mass storage
backplane. For more information, See Figure 1-12.
