Note: Control and compute nodes must belong to the same processor family. For example, control nodes that use AMD Opteron processors must be used if you are using the ProLiant BL465c as the compute node. • Networks: The networks included in a Workgroup System Tower configuration are: — Administrative network: An administrative network eases cluster administration and management functions, such as managing a user's applications.
The HP GbE2c switch is installed in interconnect module bay 1 (IMB1) of the Workgroup System Tower. It can be used as the system interconnect and also provides the infrastructure for the administration and console network in Workgroup System Tower configurations.

1.2.1.2 HP 4X DDR InfiniBand Interconnect, and InfiniBand Mezzanine HCAs The HP 4X DDR (dual date rate) InfiniBand interconnect for HP BladeSystem c-Class is a double-wide interconnect module for the c-Class enclosure. It is based on the Mellanox InfiniScale III 4X DDR InfiniBand switch chip. The 4X DDR InfiniBand interconnect for HP BladeSystem c-Class provides 24 InfiniBand 4X DDR ports with 20 Gbps port-to-port connectivity.
mezzanine HCA be plugged into the x8 PCI-Express connector on the server blade. The InfiniBand dual-port mezzanine HCA is connected to the 4X DDR InfiniBand interconnect module that is installed in interconnect module bays 3 and 4 of the Workgroup System Tower through the c3000 enclosure midplane. HP also offers a single-port 4X DDR InfiniBand mezzanine PCI-Express HCA for c-Class server blades. Subnet Management A subnet manager is required to manage and control an InfiniBand fabric.
2 Workgroup System Tower Pre-installation Procedures This chapter discusses the following pre-installation topics: • Pre-installation procedures (see Section 2.1) • Site recommendations (see Section 2.2) • Power examples (see Section 2.3) 2.1 Pre-installation Procedures HP recommends using an HP approved configurator. Contact an HP sales representative for information on Configure to Order (CTO) product offerings and requirements. The Workgroup System Tower pre-installation procedures are: 1. 2.
2.3 Power Examples There are several power issues to consider before installing a Workgroup System Tower. HP recommends using the HP BladeSystem Power Sizer tool to determine the potential power draw for a Workgroup System Tower configuration. Go to: http://h71019.www7.hp.com/ActiveAnswers/cache/347628-0-0-0-121.html HP also recommends that you consult with your HP sales representative who should be familiar with the HP BladeSystem Power Sizer tool and also review the various power examples available.
3 Unpacking and Removing a Workgroup System Tower from a Pallet This chapter describes how to unpack and remove the Workgroup System Tower from a pallet. To unpack and remove the Workgroup System Tower from a pallet, follow these steps: 1. Move the pallet to the installation location and leave several feet of space to move around the pallet. Note: Carton graphics provide the instructions on how to unpack the Workgroup System Tower and to open the top of the box first. 2.
Figure 3-2 Remove the Box 1 5. Remove the front section of the bottom cushion (callout 2) along with the ramp (callout 1), as shown in Figure 3-3. Figure 3-3 Remove the Ramp and Front Cushion 1 2 6. 24 Attach the ramp to the plywood deck using the velcro strips, as shown by callout 1 in Figure 3-4.
Note: The box clips will need to be folded out of the way to lay the ramp down. Figure 3-4 Attach the Ramp 1 1 Warning! The Workgroup System Tower is heavy (300+ pounds). You might require a second person to assist you with this step.
7. Gently roll the unit down the ramp, as shown by callout 1 in Figure 3-5 and Figure 3-6. Figure 3-5 Roll the Unit Down the Ramp 1 Figure 3-6 Roll the Unit to the Installation Location 1 Proceed to Chapter 4 and start up the system.
4 Installation and Start-up The Workgroup System Tower is integrated and factory tested before shipment to your site. The operating system software is installed at the factory. To power-on your system after you have inspected the unit, follow these steps: Warning! Be sure that all circuit breakers are locked in the off position before connecting any power components. 1. 2. 3. Connect the power cables to the power supply, if necessary. Connect the power cables to the power source or to a PDU.
Note: If your site's network (backbone) cannot handle 1Gb/s, the HP GbE2c Ethernet switch can work at 100Mb/s. The intention is for traffic to the external network to be routed through NIC2 on the control node server blade.
of the HP GbE2C Ethernet switch that are connected to NIC1 of the servers (ports 1-8 on the switch) and the switches management interface. By default, all ports are members of VLAN1. Note: The following procedure requires a PC connection to the OA module.
