User Service Guide, Fifth Edition - HP Integrity rx8640 SEU
Server Expansion Unit Firmware Revision
Verify that sx2000 Server Expansion Unit (SEU) firmware and programmable hardware versions
match the PA-RISC HP 9000 rp8440 Server versions during initial installation.
A single process is used at the factory for shipping the sx2000 SEU. The process uses an HP
Integrity server for factory integrated and non-integrated SEU's. Therefore, the SEU will always
contain an IPF firmware recipe when it ships from the factory to a customer.
The SEU can be attached to an HP 9000 rp8440 server or an HP Integrity rx8640 server. Each
server uses different firmware. Each of these servers require matched SEU firmware and
programmable hardware versions. The SEU versions must match the associated server versions.
During installation at a customer site, ensure the SEU contains a matching PA-RISC firmware
revision when connecting to an HP 9000 PA-RISC server.
As documented in the HP Service Guide, Server Expansion Unit for the HP Integrity rx8640 and User
Service Guide, Server Expansion Unit for the HP Integrity rx8640, perform the sysrev command
from the MP Command Menu. Verify the firmware and programmable hardware revisions on
the SEU are the same revisions as those on the HP 9000 PA-RISC server.
The SEU versions are listed in the section of the sysrev output titled IO Cabinet FPGA and
Firmware revision report.
See the following example from an HP 9000 rp8440 server with SEU:
