HP Cluster Platform Server and Workstation Overview

SCSI controller must be installed. The server ships in duplex configuration, but the SCSI backplane
can be configured for either simplex or duplex mode.
Note:
Simplex configuration means all four drives in the server are connected to one SCSI channel.
Duplex configuration means there are two drives, each connected to one of two SCSI channels.
The HP ProLiant DL585 server has the following features:
• 4U system chassis
• Up to four AMD Opteron processors with HyperTransport technology
• 1 MB L2 processor cache
• Base memory of 1 Gb or 2 Gb, depending on the model
• 2-way interleaved PC2100 DDR SDRAM/66 MHz
• Redundant ROM
• Advanced error-checking and correcting (ECC) memory
• Four 1-inch Ultra320 hot-pluggable hard disk drive bays
• Embedded Smart Array 5i Plus controller (Ultra3-based technology) with transportable
battery-backed write cache enabler
• Hot-pluggable floppy drive and CD or DVD drive
• Six 100 MHz 64-bit PCI-X and two 133 MHz 64-bit PCI-X
• An embedded dual-channel Gigabit Ethernet NIC with PXE support and Wake on LAN
(WOL)
• Redundant hot-pluggable power supplies with optional power supply installed
• Redundant hot-pluggable fans with N+1 redundancy
• Integrated Lights Out (iLO) technology
• QuickFind diagnostic display for troubleshooting at the server level
• ROM-based setup utility
The HP ProLiant DL585 has eight slots, two of which are 133 MHz PCI-X. The remainder are 100
MHz PCI-X. The two 133 MHz slots are on separate PCI-X busses. The remaining slots are located
as pairs on three busses.
Table 3-14 shows the required HP Cluster Platform Gigabit Ethernet slot assignments for an HP
ProLiant DL585 when it is used as a control node or compute node. Available slots can be used
for other supported I/O options, if required.

There are three embedded network ports on an HP ProLiant DL585. The iLO port connects to
the console network switch and is used for server management. NIC 1 port is used for the
