rp7410 Server Model

HP rp7410 servers scale from one to two cells and include complete

support for hard partitions (nPartitions).

Figure 1-2 on page 37 shows an overview of the HP rp7410 server

hardware architecture.

You can conﬁgure a single nPartition using one or both cells, or can

conﬁgure up to two separate nPartitions within an HP rp7410 server

complex.

In a two-partition HP rp7410 complex, you would use cell 0 and its core

I/O in one nPartition, and use cell 1 and its core I/O in the other

nPartition.

The HP rp7410 server model includes these features:

• A single server cabinet that includes all cells, I/O chassis, processors,

memory, PCI cards, and core I/O.

• Either one or two cells. Each cell has up to four PA-RISC processors

and up to 16 DIMMs.

• Two PCI I/O chassis that share the same chassis hardware.

One I/O chassis is connected to cell 0, the other is connected to cell 1.

Each I/O chassis has 8 PCI card slots, numbered from 1 to 8.

NOTE On HP rp7410 servers, two PCI slots by convention are dedicated for

use by a combination LAN/SCSI card: PCI domain 0 slot 1 (the ﬁrst

slot on the left) and PCI domain 1 slot 8 (the last slot on the right).

• Up to two core I/O devices, one connected to cell 0, and the other

connected to cell 1.

• A total server complex capacity of: 2 cells, 8 processors, 32 DIMMs,

and 16 PCI card slots.

• The model string for HP rp7410 servers is 9000/800/rp7410.

HP rp7410 servers currently include a single server cabinet that is

rack-mounted only. In the future HP also will support a stand-alone

HP rp7410 server conﬁguration.
