Introduction Detailed HP Integrity rx7620 Server Description Cell Board The cell board contains several hardware blocks connected by several data buses. The major hardware blocks are the Central Processor Units (CPUs), the Cache Coherency Controller (CC), the memory Controllers, and the Memory. Minor hardware blocks include Clock Distribution, Power Distribution, Reset Circuit, and PDH Riser Board Interface.
Introduction Detailed HP Integrity rx7620 Server Description Figure 1-7 shows a simplified view of the memory subsystem. It consists of two independent access paths, each path having its own address bus, control bus, data bus, and DIMMs. In practice, the CC runs the two paths 180 degrees out of phase with respect to each other to facilitate pipelining in the CC. Address and control signals are fanned out through register ports to the synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) on the DIMMs.
Introduction Detailed HP Integrity rx7620 Server Description Central Processor Units The cell board can hold up to four CPU modules and can be populated with CPUs in increments of one after meeting the minimum of two CPUs installed on the cell board. On a cell board, the processors must be the same type and speed. See Table 1-2 for the CPU load order that must be maintained when adding CPUs to the cell board. Refer to Figure 1-8 for the locations on the cell board for installing CPUs.
Introduction Detailed HP Integrity rx7620 Server Description The HP Integrity rx7620 Server supports DIMMs with densities of 64, 128, 256, and 512 Mb for the SDRAM devices. Table 1-3 shows each supported DIMM size, the resulting total system capacity, and the memory component density. Each DIMM is connected to two buffer chips on the cell board. DIMMs must be loaded in sets of four at specific locations. For best performance, HP recommends loading sets of eight DIMMs.
Introduction Detailed HP Integrity rx7620 Server Description A quad seen in Figure 1-9 is a grouping of four DIMMs. Configurations with 8 or 16 DIMM slots loaded are recommended. The DIMM sizes in a quad can be different but the DIMMs in an echelon must be the same size.
Introduction Detailed HP Integrity rx7620 Server Description Cells and nPartitions NOTE In the following discussion, the term “cell” refers to a cell board. A cell board that has an I/O link to a bootable device and a console (usually supplied by an MP/SCSI Core I/O card) is a potential boot cell. The cell that contains the boot console I/O path is the called the root cell. Both cells are potential root cells. The primary or default root cell in a single nPartition system is the bottom cell (cell 1).
Introduction Detailed HP Integrity rx7620 Server Description Internal Disk Devices for HP Integrity rx7620 Server In an HP Integrity rx7620 Server, the top internal disk drives connect to cell 1 through the core I/O for cell 1. Both of the bottom disk drives connect to cell 0 through the core I/O for cell 0. The CD/DVD/DAT drive connects to cell 1 through the core I/O card for cell 1. Figure 1-10 Internal Disks DVD/CD/DAT Path: 1/0/0/3/1 Drive 1-1 Path: 1/0/0/3/0.6 Drive 1-2 Path: 1/0/1/0/0/1/1.
Introduction Detailed HP Integrity rx7620 Server Description Mass Storage (Disk) Backplane Internal mass storage connections to disks are routed on the mass storage backplane, having connectors and termination circuitry. All disks are hot-pluggable. The HP Integrity rx7620 Server accommodates one internal removable media device. Therefore, only one power connector for a removable media device is required on the mass storage backplane.
Introduction Server Description Server Description Dimensions The dimensions of the HP Integrity rx7620 Server are as follows: • Width: 44.45 cm (17.5 inches), constrained by EIA standard 19 inch racks. • Depth: Defined by cable management constraints to fit into standard 36-inch deep racks (Rittal/Compaq, Rosebowl I): 25.5 inches from front rack column to PCI connector surface 26.7 inches from front rack column to MP Core I/O connector surface 30 inches overall package dimension, including 2.
