Firmware
Firmware consists of many individuallylinked binary images that are boundtogether by a single
framework at run time. Internally, the firmware employs a software database called a device
tree to represent the structure of the hardware platform and to provide a means of associating
software elements with hardware functionality.
The firmware incorporates the Boot Console Handler (BCH) which provides an interface between
the operating system and the platform firmware.
The firmware supports the HP-UX 11i version 1 (and higher HP-UX versions that support
PA-RISC systems) operating system through the HP 9000 processor family standards and
extensions, and has no operating system-specific functionality included. The operating system
is presented with the same interface to the system firmware, and all the features are available to
the operating system.
22 Overview
Event IDs for Errors and Events
The server firmware generates event IDs similar to chassis codes for errors, events, and forward
progress to the Integrated Light-Out Management Processor (iLO MP) through common shared
memory. The iLO MP interprets and stores event IDs. Reviewing these events helps you diagnose
and troubleshoot problems with the server.

System Board Components
The following describes the main components of the system board:
• Dual PA-RISC processors:
— One or two processors enabled in the HP 9000 rp3410 server
— One, two, or four processors enabled in the HP 9000 rp3440 server
• ZX1 I/O and memory controller
• ZX1 PCI bus controller
• Processor dependent hardware controller
• Field processor gate array controller
• BMC
• SCSI controller
• IDE controller
• USB controller
• 10/100/1000 LAN
PA RISC Processor
The system board consists of two Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) processor sockets, the Core Electronic
Complex (CEC), and circuits for clock and power generation and distribution, boundary scan,
In-target Probe (ITP), and debug.
The Front Side Bus (FSB) is the IA64 processor bus based on bus protocol from Intel. This enables
processor customer self-repair (CSR) parts to be dropped in, provided that electrical and
24 Overview
mechanical compatibility and support circuitry exist. A processor CSR consists of a dual processor
module with heatsink assembly.
One end of the FSB is terminated with an I/O ASIC. The other end of the bus is terminated with
a CSR. An additional CSR can be loaded in the middle. For the system to function properly, the
processor farthest away from the I/O ASIC must be loaded at all times to electrically terminate
the FSB.
Each processor module plugs directly into and is powered by its own 12V to 1.2V power-pod.
Other power for the system board comes from multiple on-board DC/DC converters. Each
processor module is attached to the board through a ZIF socket andthe entire CSR secured down
by a heatsink bolster plate.
Processor Bus
The processor bus (Front Side Bus [FSB]) in this product runs at 200 MHz. Data on the FSB are
transferred at a double data rate, which enables a peak FSB bandwidth of 6.4 Gb/sec.
ZX1 I/O and Memory Controller
HP 9000 rp3410 and rp3440 servers support the following features of the ZX1 I/O and memory
controller chip:
• 3.3 GB/s peak IO bandwidth
• Provides eight communication paths
• Peak memory bandwidth of 8.5 GBs
• Two memory cells, 144 data bits each
Memory
The memory subsystem provides two memory cells, each of which is 144 data bits wide. Each
cell has six DIMM slots, which means a total of 12 DIMM slots are available. The memory bus
clock speed is 133 MHz, and the data transfer rate is 266M transfers/second as data is clocked
on both edges of the clock. The peak data bandwidth for this memory subsystem design is 8.5
GB/s. DIMMs must be loaded in quads with qualified modules, with the exception of 256 MB
DIMMs which is loaded in pairs. Memory is protected by data error correction code (ECC), and
the hardware implementation supports the chip-spare feature.
The minimum amount of memory that you can install is 512 MB (2x256 MB modules in a HP
9000 rp3410 model A7136A server), and 1 GB (4x256 MB modules in other HP 9000 rp34x0
servers). The maximum amount of memory that you can install is limited to 24 GB (12 x 2 GB
modules) or 32 GB (8 x 4 GB modules) in a HP 9000 rp3440 server.
This design does not support any non industry-standard DDR DIMMs. Only qualified DIMMs
are supported.
Figure 1-6 shows the memory block diagram.
Detailed Server Description 25
Figure 1-6 Memory Block Diagram
Memory Architecture
The I/O ASIC memory interface supports two DDR cells, each of which is 144 data bits wide.
The memory subsystem physical design uses a comb-filter termination scheme for both the data
and address/control buses. This part of the topology is similar to other DDR designs in the
computer industry. Clocks are distributed directly from the I/O ASIC; each clock pair drives two
DIMMs.
Memory data is protected by ECC. Eight ECC bits per DIMM protect 64 bits of data. The use of
ECC enables correction of single-bit errors, and detection of multi-bit errors. Only DIMMs with
ECC are qualified or supported.
DIMMs
The memory subsystem only supports Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random Access
Memory (DDR SDRAM) technology utilizing industry-standard PC-1600 type DDR SDRAM
DIMMs, 1.2" tall. This is currently being used by high-volume products. The DIMMs use a 184-pin
JEDEC standard connector.
DIMMs are loaded in groups of four, known as a rank or quad (except for 256 MB DIMMs, which
is loaded in pairs). All four DIMMs in a rank or quad must be the same size. The following
information summarizes the memory solutions.
Memory Array Capacities
Table 1-2 lists the memory array capacities for the server.

Chip Spare Functionality
Chip spare enables an entire DDR SDRAM chip on a DIMM to be bypassed in the event that a
multi-bit error is detected on the DDR SDRAM. In order to use the chip spare functionality on
the server, only DIMMs built with ×4 DDR SDRAM parts are used, and these DIMMs must be
loaded in quads.
The memory subsystem design supports the I/O ASIC chip’s spare functionality. Chip spare
enables an entire SDRAM chip on a DIMM to be bypassed or replaced in the event that a multi-bit
error is detected on that SDRAM. In order to use the chip spare functionality, only DIMMs built
with x4 SDRAM parts are used, and these DIMMs must be loaded in quads (2 DIMMs per memory
cell, loaded in the same location in each memory cell). Each DIMM within a quad must be identical
to all the other DIMMs in the quad.
Using the DIMM loading order figure from above, chip spare is achieved if four identical DIMMs
are loaded in the slots labeled “1st” and “2nd.” If more DIMMs are added, they must be loaded
in quads in order to maintain the chip spare functionality. If more DIMMs are added to the
example case, four identical DIMMs (identical to each other, but can be different from the original
quad that was loaded) must be loaded in the slots labeled “3rd” and “4th.”
Maximum memory capability of the HP 9000 rp3440 server is 24 GB or 32 GB. If 4 GB DIMMs
are used, install eight DIMMs in the first eight slots. The remaining slots (9-12) must remain
empty when 4 GB DIMMs are used.
Serial Presence Detect
Each DIMM contains an I2C EEPROM whose content describes the module’s characteristics:
speed, technology, revision, vendor, and so on. This feature is called serial presence detect (SPD).
Firmware typically uses this information to detect unmatched pairs of DIMMs, and configure
certain memory subsystem parameters. The SPD information for DIMMs loaded in the system
are also accessible to the BMC through the I2C bus.
I/O Bus Interface
The I/O bus interface has these features:
• Provides industry standard PCI 33 MHz and 66 MHz, PCI-X 66 MHz to 133 MHz, 32 or 64
data bit support.
• Uses 3.3V PCI only, and it does not support 5V PCI.
• Optimizes for DMA performance.
• Supports 3.3V or universal-keyed PCI cards. 5V-keyed PCI cards are not supported.
Processor Dependent Hardware Controller
The Processor Dependent Hardware (PDH) controller provides the following features.

Field Programmable Gate Array
The Field Programmable Gate array (FPGA) provides ACPI and LPC support for the PDH bus
and provides these features:
• ACPI 2.0 interface
• LPC bus interface to support BMC
• Decoding logic for PDH devices
BMC
The BMC supports the industry-standard Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI)
specification. This specification describes the management features that have been built into the
system board. These features include: diagnostics (both local and remote), console support,
configuration management, hardware management and troubleshooting.
The BMC provides the following:
• Compliance with IPMI 1.0
• Tachometer inputs for fan speed monitoring
• Pulse width modulator outputs for fan speed control
• Push-button inputs for front panel buttons and switches
• One serial port, multiplexed with the system console port
• Remote access and intelligent chassis management bus (ICMB) support
• Three I2C master/slave ports (one of the ports is used for intelligent platform management
bus (IPMB)
• Low Pin Count (LPC) bus provides access to three Keyboard Controller Style (KCS) and
one-Block Transfer (BT) interface
• 32-bit ARM7 RISC processor
• 160-pin Low Profile Flat Pack (LQFP) package
• Firmware is provided for the following interfaces:
— IPMI
— IPMB
SCSI Controller
The SCSI controller is a LSI Logic 53C1030 chip. This chip is fully compliant with the SCSI
Peripheral Interface-4 Specification (SPI-4). It has two independent SCSI channels supporting
devices at speeds up to 320 MB/seconds each. The 53C1030 adheres to the PCI-X addendum, to
the PCI Local Specification, and is hard-wired to PCI ID 1 which corresponds to bit 17 of the PCI
AD bus.
28 Overview
IDE Interface
The IDE controller (PCI649) supports the ATAPI zero (0) to five (5) modes (from 16 to 100 MB/s).
The usable speed on this system is limited to 16 MHz (ATA-33 mode, 33 MB/s) because the
slimline CD/DVD devices do not support the ATA-66 and 100 modes.
The primary IDE channel is the only channel that is implemented. The IDE cable provides only
one drive connector, of the master type, for the optical storage peripheral.
1 GB System LAN
The 1 GB System LAN port provides:
• Main system LAN
• 10/100/1000 MB capable
USB Connectors
The USB connectors provide:
• High speed 480 MB/seconds capable
• Full speed 12 MB/seconds and low speed 1.5 MB/seconds
• Support for USB keyboard and mouse
• HP-UX supports HP USB keyboard and mouse
Disk and I/O Path Logging
Some failures result in I/O path logging. These paths help to indicate the source of the error and
can be included in the error message or logged into console or event logs.
