Configuration The HP 9000 rp7420 Server is a symmetrical multiprocessing (SMP) server supporting up to 8 high performance dual core PA 8900 (1.1 GHz or 1.0 GHz) or PA 8800 (1.0 GHz or 900 MHz) processor modules. A dual core processor module supports two processors resulting in a 16- processor core server.
Dual core PA-8800 processor module details 1.0-GHz or 900 MHz frequencies Level 2 Cache: 32 MB Level 1 Cache: 3 MB (1.5-MB integrated cache per core) 44-bit physical addressing 4-processor set associative cache Single bit cache error correction 4-processor superscalar 56 instruction reorder buffer Full PA RISC 2.
Performance Tuning Guidelines A cell should be configured with a multiple of 8 DIMMs. It takes 8 DIMMs to populate both buses. Populating only one of the two memory buses on a cell board will deliver only half the peak memory bandwidth. Load memory equally across the available cell boards.
core I/O board set supports each pair of internal disks. This means that you must have both board sets in order to access both halves of the peripheral bay. This also means that I/O paths are not shared, and disks are electrically isolated, providing for optimal isolation between partitions.

Integrated Multifunction I/O The HP 9000 rp7420 Server chassis supports up to two core I/O boards (AB306A). Core I/O slots are located along the right rear vertical edge of the chassis.
Core I/O Loading Rules Minimum of one Core I/O board set (primary) must be purchased with each HP 9000 rp7420 Server Load the Primary (1) MP/SCSI board into slot 1 and the LAN SCSI board into I/O cabinet 1 (slot 8). MP/SCSI slot 0 and I/O cabinet 0 corresponds to Cell Board slot 0.
Internal Removable Media HP 9000 rp7420 Server contains one removable media bay, which will support either a DVD-ROM or DDS-4 DAT drive. Removable media drives are not hot-plug capable. DVD-ROM drive provides enhanced features while preserving backward read compatibility with CD-ROM.
AC Power Consumption The HP 9000 rp7420 Server power consumption will vary greatly depending on the hardware configuration and the input line voltages supplied at customer sites. Because of the disparity of line voltages throughout the world it's best to represent power consumption in VA (Volt*Amperes).
Power Distribution Units 60 amp Power Distribution Unit- AF916A - supported in 10KG2 rack E7683A - supported in Rack System E Customers who prefer the fewest higher amperage connections from their ac line current source to the HP 9000 rp7420 Server can use the 60 amp power distribution unit (PDU).
Partitioning A hardware partition corresponds roughly to a single, standalone system. Each HP 9000 rp7420 Server can be subdivided into two partitions, each containing one cell that has minimal shared resources with the other cell (partition). Cells are grouped into physical structures called cabinets or nodes.
In addition to hard partitioning (nPars), HP 9000 rp7420 servers support virtual partitioning (vPars) to the single processor or processor level (expected release of support or vPars on HP 9000 rp7420 servers in second calendar quarter of 2004).
Third-Party Racking HP Servers are designed to maximize performance density when installed into HP system cabinets. HP system cabinets maintain the high level of safety and reliability of HP Server solutions that customers have come to expect.
HP Server rp7410 Upgrades to HP 9000 rp7420 Server The HP 9000 rp7405/rp7410 Servers were designed to be easily upgradeable to Intel Itanium 2 and PA-RISC processors. With the release of the Intel Itanium 2 Madison and the HP mx2 processors, HP 9000 rp7405/rp7410 Server customers can now upgrade their systems as desired.
Return credits: If the customer returns his old cell boards, processor modules or core I/O boards, they can get a return credit: Processors ( NOTE: These are single processor credits, not dual processor module credits. This means that two PA 8700 return credits should be ordered for each new dual processor module purchased.
