nPartition System Overviews
Processors: HP PA-RISC CPUs
HP System Partitions Guide: Administration for nPartitions, rev 5.1 48
In HP rp7410 and rp8400 servers, each cell can support up to 16 memory
DIMMs and 1–4 processors.
Each HP Superdome cell can be connected to an I/O chassis that resides
either in the same cabinet as the cell or in an I/O expansion cabinet.
In HP rp7410 and rp8400 servers, cell 0 connects to I/O chassis 0, and
cell 1 connects to I/O chassis 1.
Processors:
HP PA-RISC CPUs
This section describes the supported processor (CPU) types for HP
nPartition servers.
Within each cell in an nPartition server, all processors must operate at
the same speed. If multiple cells reside in a server, each cell can run a set
of processor whose operating speed is different from the processors in the
other cell(s) in the server.
In HP Superdome cells, the following processors types are supported:
PA8600 (552 MHz) or PA8700 (650, 750, or 875 MHz).
In HP rp7410 and rp8400 servers, the supported processor types are:
PA8700 (650, 750, or 875 MHz).
To list the operating speed of processors in a cell, you can use the
parstatus HP-UX command or the PR command from an nPartition’s
BCH Information menu.
For example, parstatus -V -c 2 lists hardware details about cell 2,
including the operating speed and processor type for the cell.
Refer to the chapter Listing and Managing Server Hardware on
page 307 for details on listing cell processor info, including a reference
chart of cell processor frequencies.
nPartition I/O Chassis and PCI Card Slots
This section has details about the I/O chassis and PCI card slot locations
in various models of HP nPartition servers and I/O expansion cabinets,
and details about slot frequencies and power capabilities.
The following I/O chassis and slots are discussed here:
