Main Components The following sections provide information about the components in the main chassis. Itanium 2 Processors Depending on system configuration, your system includes four or eight Intel Itanium 2 64-bit 1.3-GHz/3-MB or 1.5-GHz/6.0-MB processors. Four Intel Itanium 2 processors are installed within one CELLV board. See Figure 1-5. A second CELLV board has an additional four Intel Itanium 2 processors. All processors installed in your system must be of identical bus and core speed.
Service Processor Board The Service Processor Board (iSP-C Board) controls power and monitors status of all components (see Figure 1-4). The board uses a PowerPC chip as the processor for iSP-C, memory, LAN, serial interface, and clock distribution functionality. The Service Processor Board performs initialization of the system, RAS functions, diagnostic functions, failure management of the system, and clock generation and distribution.
Each partition consists of a CELLV Board and a core PCIX unit. Multiple OS instances can run on different partitions independently. If a partition has at least one PCIX unit with basic I/O, the CELLV Boards and the PCIX units can be flexibly assigned to any partition. The Service Processor manages the partitioning settings and configuration changes. Chipset and Crossbar Switch NEC developed a high-performance chipset and crossbar switch that is based on supercomputer mainframe technology.

BIOS Virtual DIP Switch What is BIOS Virtual DIP Switch? SP command “su” specifies the settings of the BIOS virtual DIP switch. When the setting value specified in Table 4-28 is set to the BIOS virtual switch, the BIOS performs the operation described in the table. A logical-or of the setting value in Table 4-28 can be set to the BIOS virtual DIP switch. When this happens, the BIOS performs plural operations at the same time.
PCI Online Maintenance (PCI Hot Plug) This section describes the Setup Menu operations/procedures required prior to the PCI online maintenance operation. An online maintenance available PCI card requires resources such as PCI Gap, I/O resource, and PCI bus. Prepare those resources correctly with each configuration menu beforehand.
! Select “HBB Configuration” in the System Hardware menu. ! Specify resources as follows. Use the resource size calculated in step 2. PCI Gap: “Low MMIO Configuration” menu or “High MMIO Configuration” menu specifies PCI Gap (see “Low MMIO Configuration Submenu” and “High MMIO Configuration Submenu.)” “Low MMIO configuration” menu is used when the PCI Gap is assigned to the address space that is less than 4GB.
If a reboot occurred due to incorrect resource values: The “910E Resource Assignment Failure” BIOS event log is generated. The system checks whether the sum of the resource size is larger than the total resource size of the system during system initialization. When the sum of the resource size is larger than the total resource size, the BIOS event log is generated and the system reboots again. During the second reboot, the resource size that exceeds total resource size is set to the initial value.
HBB Configuration Submenu Precaution The Express5800/1080Xd server has the PCIV within the main chassis (core module) and can connect to the optional PCIX Unit. Hardware configuration for the PCIV core module unit is different from the PCIX Unit. The PCIX Unit has a GXB01 but the PCIV does not. The Host Bus Bridge (HBB) Configuration submenu has items that cannot be specified. When menus under the HBB Configuration submenu are selected, “N/A” is always displayed in the “Location” column of HBB #1 and #2.
