1Overview
The HP 9000 rp4410 and the HP 9000 rp4440 servers are designed to be easy to install, service, and
maintain. They deliver performance, reliability, and availability in a compact, rack-dense design to meet the
most demanding enterprise-level computing requirements.
A rack-dense 4U form-factor maximizes the number of servers for each rack, up to 10 systems for each HP
10000 G2 series rack (42U). They fit easily into the HP 10000 G2 series rack and into many third-party racks
using side-mounted slides and a cable management arm that you can install quickly without tools.
You can equip the servers with up to eight 800 MHz or 1.0 GHz PA-8900 processors with 1.5 MB of on-chip L1
cache for each processor and 64 MB of shared L2 cache for each processor module, up to 128 GB RAM, and six
PCI-X I/O expansion slots.
The blue server identification LED can be activated locally or remotely for easy physical identification of
problem hardware, and the QuickFind diagnostic LED panel speeds problem diagnosis by identifying
defective or mismatched hardware components.
HP 9000 rp4410 Server
The HP 9000 rp4410 server is a PA-8900-based server in a 4U form factor. It is based on the same hardware
as the HP 9000 rp4440 server, but in the rp4410 server, two of the four processor sockets are disabled using
firmware, limiting it to a 2P/2C. Like the HP 9000 rp4440 server, the HP 9000 rp4410 server has full access to
all 16 or 32 memory slots (for a total of up to 128 GB of memory) and full access to all six PCI-X I/O slots.
Because it has a maximum of four processors, the HP 9000 rp4410 server qualifies for Oracle Standard
Edition licensing. The HP 9000 rp4410 server is available in 1P/1C, 1P/2C, and 2P/2C configurations and can
be easily upgraded to an HP 9000 rp4440 server using a firmware upgrade kit.

structure of the hardware platform and to provide a means of associating software elements with hardware
functionality.
Chapter 1
23
Overview
Dimensions and Values
The firmware incorporates the BCH which provides an interface between the operating system and the
platform firmware. BCH uses data tables that contain platform-related information, and boot and run-time
service calls available to the operating system and its loader to provide a standard environment for booting.
The firmware supports the HP-UX 11i version 1 (or higher) 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 system firmware, and all features are available to the
operating system.
Event IDs for Errors and Events
The server firmware generates event IDs similar to chassis codes for errors, events, and forward progress to
the Integrity Integrated Light-Out Management Processor (iLO MP) through common shared memory. The
Integrity iLO MP interprets and stores event IDs. Reviewing these events helps you diagnose and
troubleshoot problems with the server.

a. Maximum power is the sum of the worst case power consumption values of every subsystem in the
HP 9000 rp4410 or rp4440 server. Use these values to calculate the worst case power consumption
for your facility installation.
b. Typical power consumption values were measured while running power intensive applications.
These values are generally lower than maximum power numbers because all the subsystems in the
server rarely draw maximum power simultaneously and for long durations.

Environmental Specifications
This section provides the temperature and humidity requirements, noise emission, and air flow specifications
for the server.
Operating Environment
The system is designed to run continuously and meet reliability goals in an ambient temperature of 5°C to
35°C (+40°F to +95°F) at sea level. The maximum allowable temperature is de-rated 1°C per 1,000 feet of
elevation above 5,000 feet above sea level up to 30°C at 10,000 feet. For optimum reliability and performance,
the recommended operating range is 20°C to 25°C and 40% – 55% relative humidity.
Ambient intake air temperature is often different from ambient room temperature; you should measure the
operating temperature and humidity directly in front of the cabinet cooling air intakes rather than just
checking ambient room conditions.
Environmental Temperature Sensor
The server includes internal sensors that monitor input air temperature and server operating temperatures.
The ambient air temperature is measured using a sensor placed on the system I/O board. Data from the
sensor is used to control the fan speed and to initiate system overtemperature shutdown.
Nonoperating Environment
The system is designed to withstand ambient temperatures between –40°C to 70°C under nonoperating
conditions.

Chapter 2
System Specifications
Environmental Specifications
Cooling
This section provides information on the cooling systems in the server.
CPU and Memory Cooling
The server incorporates front to back airflow across the processor and memory extender boards and through
the HDD backplane. Two 127 mm dual fan assemblies, mounted vertically in the center of the chassis, pull air
through the processor and memory section and push air through the PCI section.
Each processor and memory dedicated dual fan assembly is controlled by smart fan control circuits embedded
in the system I/O board. The smart fan control circuit receives fan control input from the system fan
controller in the I/O board, and returns fan status information to the system fan controller. The smart fan
circuit controls the power and the pulse-width-modulated control signal to the fan and monitors the speed
indicator back from each of the fans. The fan status LED is driven by the smart fan circuit. The fan status
LED is located on the diagnostic board inside the system.
Bulk Power Supply Cooling
Cooling for the bulk power supplies is provided by one 120 mm dual fan assembly and one externally mounted
60 mm power supply fan. Air is pushed into both power supply bays by the 120 mm fan assembly and
exhausted out the rear by the 60 mm fan (one per power supply).
Air flows out of the rear of the chassis with minimal leakage into the cell airflow plenum.
NOTEA power supply filler is required in the unused power supply slot to maintain proper airflow
throughout the system.
PCI and Mass Storage Section Cooling
Two dual fan assemblies located at the center of the chassis provide airflow for all the PCI slots. Airflow is
over the processor and memory extender boards and into the PCI section. The fans are controlled by the
system temperature and run at the speed necessary to maintain proper internal temperature throughout the
chassis.
The air is pulled through openings in the front cover and the mass storage devices and pushed through the
PCI card cage.
Perforation is provided between and above the PCI card cage to enable proper exhaust ventilation to maintain
the required temperature rating of the PCI cards.
CAUTIONFor maximum cooling effects, ensure that the chassis ventilation holes are not blocked or
covered after installation.

Firmware
Firmware consists of many individually linked binary images that are bound together 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.
Chapter 3
59
Installing the System
Safety Information
The firmware incorporates the Boot Console Handler (BCH), which provides an interface between the
operating system and the platform firmware. BCH uses data tables that contain platform-related
information, and boot and run-time service calls available to the operating system and its loader to provide a
standard environment for booting.
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 system
firmware, and all features are available to the operating system.
Event IDs for Errors and Events
The server firmware generates event IDs similar to chassis codes for errors, events, and forward progress to
the Integrity Integrated Light-Out Management Processor (iLO MP) through common shared memory. The
Integrity iLO MP interprets and stores event IDs. Reviewing these events helps you diagnose and
troubleshoot problems with the server.

Unpacking and Inspecting the Server
This section describes procedures you perform before installation. Ensure that you have adequately prepared
your environment for the new server, received the components that you ordered, and verified that the server
and its containers are in good condition after shipment.
Verifying Site Preparation
Verifying site preparation is essential for a successful server installation and includes the following tasks.
Step 1. Gather LAN information and determine the two separate IP addresses for the Integrity iLO MP
LAN and the system LAN.
Step 2. Establish a method to connect to the server console.
Step 3. Verify electrical requirements and ensure that grounding specifications and power requirements
are met.
Step 4. Validate server physical space requirements.
Step 5. Confirm environmental requirements.
Inspecting the Shipping Containers for Damage
HP shipping containers protect their contents under normal shipping conditions. After the equipment arrives,
carefully inspect each carton for signs of shipping damage. Shipping damage constitutes moderate to severe
damage, such as punctures in the corrugated carton, crushed boxes, or large dents. Normal wear or slight
damage to the carton is not considered shipping damage. If you find shipping damage to the carton, contact
your HP customer service representative immediately.
Unpacking the Server
To unpack a nonracked server, follow these steps.
NOTEHP recommends the use of a lifter, such as a RonI Company model 17000 SP 400 lifting device,
when moving a nonracked system.
Step 1. Use the instructions printed on the outside top flap of the carton; remove the banding and the outer
carton from the server pallet.
Step 2. Remove all inner accessory cartons and the top foam cushions, leaving only the server.
IMPORTANT Inspect each carton for shipping damage as you unpack the server.
Checking the Inventory
The sales order packing slip lists all of the equipment shipped from HP. Use this packing slip to verify that all
of the equipment has arrived.

Chapter 3
Installing the System
Installing Additional Components
NOTETo identify each item by part number, see the sales order packing slip.
Returning Damaged Equipment
If the equipment is damaged, contact your HP customer service representative immediately. The service
representative initiates appropriate action through the transport carrier or the factory and assists you in
returning the equipment.
Unloading the Server with a Lifter
WARNINGUse caution when using a lifter. Because of the weight of the server, you must center
the server on the lifter forks before lifting it off the pallet to avoid injury.
To unload the server from the pallet using a lifter, follow these steps:
Step 1. Unpack the server. See “Unpacking the Server” on page 62.
Step 2. Unroll the bottom corrugated tray corresponding to the side on which the lifter will be placed, and
slide the server as close to that edge of the pallet as possible.
Step 3. Break off any foam packaging that can prevent the lifter from being fully inserted under the server.
IMPORTANT Do not remove the foam packaging from the corners of the server. This foam is
required to elevate the server and enable the forks of the lifter to be placed under the
server.
Step 4. Insert the lifter forks under the server.
Step 5. Carefully roll the lifter forward until it is fully positioned against the side of the server.
Step 6. Slowly raise the server off the pallet until it clears the pallet cushions.
Step 7. Carefully roll the lifter and server away from the pallet. Do not raise the server any higher than
necessary when moving it over to the rack.

Required Tools
To install processors in the server, use the CPU Install Kit (HP part number 5069-5441). This kit consists of
the following:
•Disposable ESD Kit (HP part number A3024-80004)
•CPU Install Tool (HP part number A7231-04046)
Dual Processor Modules
HP 9000 rp4410 and rp4440 servers use dual processor modules. Each module contains two processors. When
only one processor is activated (a 1P/1C configuration of the HP 9000 rp4410 server), the second processor is
installed but not enabled and is available for future use.
•The HP 9000 rp4410 server can contain one or two dual processor modules to provide 1P/1C, 1P/2C, or
2P/2C configurations.
•The HP 9000 rp4440 server can contain one, two, three, or four dual processor modules to provide 1P/2C,
2P/2C, 3P/2C, or 4P/2C configurations.
If you are installing fewer than the maximum number of dual processor modules, the modules must be
installed in the appropriate connectors. See Table 3-7.
Processor Load Order
You can install up to four dual processor modules on the processor extender board, which is located under the
front cover in the top service bay, directly under the memory extender board. If you are installing fewer than
the maximum number of dual processor modules (one in the rp4410 server or fewer than four in the rp4440
server), they must be installed in the designated locations on the processor extender board.
The connectors (slots or sockets) on the processor extender board are labeled CPU0 through CPU3. CPU0 and
CPU1 connectors are located on the top of the processor extender board, and CPU2 and CPU3 connectors are
located on the bottom.

Installing a Processor on the Extender Board
CAUTIONObserve all ESD safety precautions before attempting this procedure. Failure to follow ESD
safety precautions can result in damage to the server.
NOTEBefore installing a processor into the server, read the following instructions carefully for a
complete understanding of this process.
To install a processor on the extender board, follow these steps:
Step 1. Locate the socket (CPU1, CPU2, or CPU3) where you will install the dual processor module. (See
Figure 3-24 and see “Processor Load Order” on page 87.)
Step 2. Ensure that the cam on the processor socket lock is in the unlocked, counterclockwise position.
Step 3. Remove any protective packaging from the processor module.
NOTEProtective covers can be installed to protect connector pins. These covers can be
saved for future use.
Step 4. Inspect the pins of the processor to be installed. Verify that the processor pins are not bent.

Step 5. Carefully lower the processor, without the sequencer frame, onto the processor socket. Align the
pins on the bottom of the heatsink to the slots in the retention frame on the extender board.
CAUTIONDo not press the processor modules into the socket. When properly assigned, the
processor pins seat into the socket by themselves. You can damage the pins if you
apply pressure.
TIPTest the alignment of the assembly to the socket by gently moving the assembly back
and forth with the palm of your hand—you should feel little or no side play. However,
because the assembly is not yet tightened, it can tilt slightly toward the center of the
extender board; this is acceptable.
CAUTIONBefore locking the processor assembly into its socket, ensure that the power cable is
not pinched between the heatsink and sheet metal frame of the extender board. Also,
ensure that the two power cable ends attached to the dual processor module do not
come unplugged from their sockets when you move the cable into place under the
heatsink. See Figure 3-25 and Figure 3-26.

Step 6. Lock the assembly to the socket by rotating the cam on the socket 180 degrees clockwise using the
CPU Install Tool or 2.5-mm Allen wrench.
TIPWhen rotating the locking cam, hold the palm of your hand on top of the assembly
and exert light pressure. This ensures that the assembly stays flush and level to the
socket while it is being tightened.
Step 7. Plug the processor cable into its socket on the extender board.
Step 8. Place the sequencer frame over the processor.
Step 9. Hand tighten the two knurled thumbscrews on the sequencer frame.
NOTEDo not tighten the other four shoulder screws until you have first hand-tightened the
two knurled thumbscrews.
Step 10. Using a CPU Install Tool (Torx T15 driver), tighten the four remaining T15 shoulder screws until
they bottom out. Follow the tightening sequence shown in Figure 3-27.
IMPORTANT Do not overtighten the four shoulder screws. They can shear off if overtightened.
Stop tightening the shoulder screws when you feel them bottom out.
Step 11. Using the CPU Install Tool (Torx T15 driver), finish tightening the two thumbscrews.
IMPORTANT Do not overtighten the two thumbscrews. They can shear off if overtightened.
Tightening the thumbscrews by 1/4 turn tightens them sufficiently.

•Use MAKODIAG provided by the offline diagnostic environment to exercise the processor.
Installing Memory
The standard configuration of HP 9000 rp4410 and rp4440 servers include a 16-DIMM memory extender
board. This extender board must contain a minimum of 1 GB of memory (four 256 MB DIMMs loaded in quad
0 [connectors 0A, 0B, 0C, and 0D]). (Figure 3-28)
An optional 32-DIMM memory extender board is available to replace the 16-DIMM memory extender board.
This extender board must contain a minimum of 1 GB of memory (four 256 MB DIMMs loaded in quad 0
[connectors 0A, 0B, 0C, and 0D]). (Figure 3-29)
You can insert additional DIMMs into both 16- and 32-DIMM boards. When adding DIMMs, you must use a
minimum of four like-sized DIMMs in the next available quad.
Supported DIMM Sizes
Up to 128 GB of memory can be installed in the server. Supported DIMM sizes are as follows:
•256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB.
Dissimilar DIMM sizes can be used across the extender board, but all four DIMMs in each quad must match.
For cooling purposes, you must install DIMM fillers into unused connectors.
DIMM Slot Fillers
Both the 16- and 32-DIMM extender boards must have DIMM slot filler boards placed over all unfilled DIMM
connectors. As you fill DIMM quads with additional memory, you must remove the DIMM slot fillers covering
the connectors. All remaining DIMM fillers in unused connectors must remain in place to maximize internal
cooling.
NOTEOne DIMM filler board covers two adjacent DIMM connectors. Remove DIMM slot fillers as you
add memory and you will always retain the correct configuration.

Hot-Pluggable PCI/PCI-X
The HP 9000 rp4410 and rp4440 servers support PCI/PCI-X hot-pluggable technology and includes six
hot-pluggable PCI/PCI-X slots.
Hot-Pluggable PCI/PCI-X Operations
PCI/PCI-X hot-pluggable technology enables the following operations. For procedures with step-by-step
instructions describing how to add, replace, delete, and locate PCI/PCI-X cards, see “Hot-Plug Procedures” on
page 103.
•Online Addition (OLA)
You can install new PCI/PCI-X expansion cards in empty slots without powering off the server.
•Online Replacement (OLR)
You can replace a previously occupied slot with a new PCI/PCI-X expansion card by suspending the driver.
This operation combines removing an active card and replacing it with an equivalent card. The existing
driver for the old card must be compatible with the new card.
CAUTIONA special OLR requirement for HP-UX 11i v1 (and higher) is that the card to be replaced
must be exactly the same as the removed card. This is also called like-for-like replacement.
•PCI/PCI-X Slot Locate (Locate)
To easily locate the PCI/PCI-X slot at which to perform a hot-pluggable operation, you can command the
attention LEDs on the OLX divider and the I/O baseboard to blink and act as visual cues to the active slot
location. This operation is always initiated through a software or web interface, and is optional to the
operating system on the server.
PCI/PCI-X Hardware and Software Interfaces
Table 3-10 shows what hot-pluggable hardware and software interfaces are available on HP-UX 11i v1 (and
