1 HP Integrity rx8640 and HP 9000 rp8440 Server
Overview
The HP Integrity rx8640 server and the HP 9000 rp8440 server are members of the HP
business-critical computing platform family of mid-range, mid-volume servers, positioned
between the HP Integrity rx7640, HP 9000 rp7440 and HP Integrity Superdome servers.
IMPORTANT: The differences between the HP Integrity rx8640 and the HP 9000 rp8440 servers
are identified in Chapter 1 and Chapter 2. See Chapter 2 (page 33). Otherwise, these two
sx2000–based systems share common hardware and technology throughout.
The server is a 17U1high, 16-socket symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) rack-mount or standalone
server. Features of the server include:
• Up to 512 GB of physical memory provided by dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).
• Up to 32 processors with a maximum of 4 processor modules per cell board and a maximum
of 4 cell boards. Supports dual-core processors.
• One cell controller (CC) per cell board.
• Turbo fans to cool CPUs and CCs on the cell boards.
• Up to four embedded hard disk drives.
• Up to two internal DVD drives or one DVD drive and one DDS-4 DAT drive.
• Nine front chassis mounted N+1 fans.
• Twelve rear chassis mounted N+1 fans.
• Six N+1 PCI-X card cage fans.
• Up to six N+1 bulk power supplies.
• Two N+1 PCI-X power supplies.
• N+1 hot-swappable system clock oscillators.
• Sixteen PCI-X slots are divided into two I/O chassis. Each I/O chassis can accommodate up
to eight PCI/PCI-X/PCIe/PCI-X 2.0 cards.
• Up to two core I/O cards.
• One failover service processor per core I/O card.
• Four 220 V AC power plugs. Two are required and the other two provide power source
redundancy.
Detailed Server Description
The following section provides detailed intormation about the server components.
1. The U is a unit of measurement specifying product height. One U is equal to 1.75 inches.
