HP ProLiant DL740 Server User Guide 1-5

Server Features

Standard Features

The following additional features are available on ProLiant DL740 models.

Processors

The server supports four or eight Intel Xeon processors MP with the following features:

• Easy upgrade capability from a 4P server to an 8P server

• HP designed ZIF sockets with tool-less actuation and tool-less quick release heat

sink clamps

• Keyed, self-aligning heat sink design to protect processor pins and allow for blind mate assembly

• Pre-attached processor heat sink assembly for easy service and optimum thermals without having to worry about messy greases

• Fault-tolerant integrated processor power regulation

Each of the processor boards has embedded power, front and back covers for enhanced thermals and handling, and a single hand rack-and-pinion lever for blind mate installation in seconds.

Hyper-Threading technology, developed by Intel, improves the performance of IA-32 processors when executing multiple-processor (MP) capable operating systems and multithreaded applications. With this technology, one physical processor looks like two logical processors to the operating system and applications. The two logical processors can execute two separate tasks (or code streams called threads) concurrently by using shared hardware resources.

Hyper-Threading technology is designed to improve the performance of IA-32 processors by using the multithreaded nature of contemporary operating systems and server applications in such a way as to increase the use of the on-chip execution resources available in the Intel NetBurst microarchitecture. The integrated cache subsystem results in reduced memory access times and increased throughput and performance of the memory subsystem. Specifically, integrated Level 3 cache, which is only available on the Xeon processor MP, provides a high-bandwidth path to memory, increasing throughput for large server workloads.

1-6 HP ProLiant DL740 Server User Guide

Hot Plug RAID Memory

The HP memory RAID technology stands for Redundant Array of Industry-Standard DIMMs. The ProLiant DL740 server supports up to 40 GB of Hot Plug RAID Memory using industry-standard PC133 SDRAM DIMMs (32 GB of addressable memory). The DIMMs are installed in five Hot Plug RAID Memory cartridges. Hot Plug RAID Memory allows for the following server service and management capabilities while the server is running:

• Memory hot-replace—Allows the replacement of failed DIMMs. This feature is

built into the hardware, is operating system-independent, and requires no drivers.

• Memory hot-add—Allows the addition of extra banks of memory without

powering down the server. This feature requires operating system support and drivers.

• Memory hot-upgrade—Allows the upgrade of existing DIMMs with

larger-capacity DIMMs without powering down the server. This feature requires operating system support and HP drivers.

Server Features

HP ProLiant DL740 Server User Guide 1-7

Server Features

The Hot Plug RAID Memory cartridges are located on the inner right side of the host module. Each memory cartridge contains up to eight DIMMs. Each cartridge has a protective cover, and a latch and lock.

Figure 1-4: Memory cartridge location

1-8 HP ProLiant DL740 Server User Guide

Server Features

The ProLiant DL740 server has five memory cartridges, each consisting of eight DIMMs. In each memory cartridge, similar DIMMs are installed in bank pairs (1+2, 3+4, 5+6, 7+8) for memory interleaving to increase performance.

Basic memory features include:

• ECC memory with single-bit and MBE correction and detection down to the

failed DIMM level

• Support for standard ECC 133-MHz registered SDRAM

• Driverless hot-replace functionality

• Expandability to 40 GB of Hot Plug RAID Memory using industry-standard

PC133 SDRAM DIMMs (32 GB of addressable memory)

• Support for up to eight memory banks, with each bank consisting of five DIMMs

(one DIMM is for redundancy):

— Each DIMM of a given bank must be of the same size, type, and speed.

— DIMMs are populated in bank pairs for interleaved operation to increase

performance.

NOTE: The DIMM size, type, and speed are defined by the DIMM part number. All DIMMs in a bank must have the same part number, as indicated by the following example:

123456-12x

All numbers except the last (designated by x) must match for DIMMs to be considered the same.

• Cartridge and DIMM diagnostic information

HP ProLiant DL740 Server User Guide 1-9

Server Features

PCI-X Technology

PCI-X technology leverages the wide acceptance of the PCI bus and provides an evolutionary I/O upgrade to conventional PCI. PCI-X technology enhances the PCI protocol and frequency to meet bandwidth needs of enterprise computing systems. PCI-X provides backward compatibility with the PCI bus at both the expansion board and system level.

Expansion Slots

The server has six 64-bit PCI-X expansion slots operating at 100 MHz:

• Slots 1 and 2 (PCI bus 7) support PCI-X expansion boards at 100 MHz; it is keyed for 3.3v signaling.

• Slots 3 and 4 (PCI bus 11) support PCI-X expansion boards at 100 MHz; it is keyed for 3.3v signaling.

• Bus 5 and 6 (PCI bus 3) support PCI-X expansion boards at 100 MHz; it is keyed for 3.3v signaling.

NOTE: The operating system detects PCI devices in the following slot order: 5-6-1-2-3-4.

PCI Hot Plug

PCI Hot Plug provides the ability to remove, replace, upgrade, and add PCI/PCI-X expansion boards without powering down the server. PCI and PCI-X boards can be placed in a PCI Hot Plug slot. PCI Hot Plug device drivers and operating system support are required to enable PCI Hot Plug.

A PCI Hot Plug button is located above each PCI/PCI-X slot, providing PCI Hot Plug control directly at the server without the use of the PCI Hot Plug utility software.

For more information about PCI Hot Plug, refer to the server documentation CD.

1-10 HP ProLiant DL740 Server User Guide

Network Interface Controllers

The ProLiant DL740 server is equipped with two embedded Gigabit Ethernet network interface controllers. Each of these 10/100/1000 Base TX UTP 100-MHz 64-bit PCI-X NICs have the following features:

• Two RJ-45 connectors for 10BaseT, 100BaseTX, or 1000BaseTX Ethernet

• Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) support

Redundant NIC software, located on the SmartStart CD, supports a redundant NIC configuration. This feature may be used with one dual-port, two single-port, or two dual-port NICs.

Disk Controller

The ProLiant DL740 server provides an embedded Smart Array 5i Controller. Refer to Chapter 8 for more information about the features and array setup procedures for the controller. The disk controller has 32 MB of read data cache.

The Smart Array 5i Controller supports Ultra3 SCSI hard drives. Ultra3 is the next generation of high performance SCSI technology that offers data transfer speeds of up to 160 MB/sec. It is a term that is synonymous with Ultra160 SCSI and describes any device that combines Ultra2 SCSI with Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC), domain validation, and double transition clocking. HP Ultra3 universal hot-pluggable hard drives provide this level of performance in addition to compatibility with HP ProLiant servers, AlphaServer, and StorageWorks Enclosure 4200 solutions.

Server Features

Ultra320 SCSI hard drives will run at Ultra3 speeds unless you install an optional Ultra320 Array Controller and the Twisted Pair Cable Array Bypass kit included with the system.

HP ProLiant DL740 Server User Guide 1-11

Server Features

Internal Hot-Plug Drive Bays

The internal hot-plug drive bays support four one-inch Ultra3 SCSI hard drives. Drives may be of any storage capacity but must be mounted on HP universal drive carriers (hot-plug drive trays).

Universal Media Bay

The universal media bay supports hot-pluggable IDE devices and ships standard with a DVD-ROM drive. The bay also supports other removable media devices, such as a CD-ROM drive.

Video

The Integrated PCI Video Controller with 8 MB of video RAM can obtain a maximum resolution of 1280 x 1024 in 32-bit true color. The PCI video controller supports:

• 16 to more than 256 colors, depending on graphics mode.

• SVGA, VGA, and EGA graphics resolution.

Redundant Hot-Plug Fans

ProLiant DL740 servers include 1 + 1 redundant hot-plug fans. If a fan fails, the server generates a system alert and triggers the redundant fan to take over automatically. The redundant hot-plug system fans protect the various server components from overheating and possibly causing a system interruption.

Diagnostic LEDs exist near each fan and on the front of the server. For more information on the hot-plug fan LEDs, refer to Appendix D.
