System Configuration-rx2600

- Overview


- CPU ConfigurationThe HP Server rx2600 is a symmetrical multiprocessing (SMP) server supporting Up to two

high-performance 64bit Itanium2 processor. Processor speeds cannot be mixed with the same system.

- Processor Details 900-MHz or 1GHz frequencies Level 3 Cache: 1.5MB(900MHz) or 3MB(1GHz) Level 2 Cache: 256KB Level 1 Cache: 32KB Single-bit cache error correction 50-bit physical addressing 64-bit virtual addressing 4GB maximum page size


- Memory ConfigurationThe HP server rx2600 supports DDR (double data rate) SyncDRAM (synchronous dynamic random accessMemory) DIMMs with ECC and chip spare protection. The HP Server rx2600 has twelve DIMM slots, allowinga maximum of 12GB of total system memory.

- Memory Loading Rules and Performance Guidelines Memory must be installed in groups of four DIMMs, also known as quads Each quad must consist of equal density DIMMs Memory can be ordered in quads of 1GB(4x256 MB), 2GB(4x512 MB), or 4GB(4x1 GB) Minimum memory is 1 GB(4x256 MB) Maximum memory is 12 GB Memory must be loaded in the specific order outlined on the system board Each quad of memory is loaded across both memory buses (two DIMMs on each bus) to ensure maximum bandwidth and performance Total memory bandwidth is 8.5 GB/s, split across two 4.25 GB/s memory buses Open page memory latency is 80 nanoseconds


- I/O ArchitectureThe HP Server rx5670 I/O architecture utilizes industry standard PCI-X and PCI buses in a unique design forMaximum performance, scalability.


- Integrated Multi-function Core I/O


- Core I/O 10/100/1000Base-T LAN with RJ-45 connector-Support LAN boot for operating system

installation 10/100Base-T LAN with RJ-45 connector and wake—on LAN capabilities Ultra160 SCSI port Four USB 2.0 style A ports (USB 1.1 compatible) Two general purpose serial ports (Serial A and Serial B) VGA graphics

- Management Processor Functionality Dedicated 10/100Base-T LAN port for LAN console and embedded web console access DB-25 serial port-multiplexed (using W cable) into three RS-232 ports: local ASCII console,

remote/modem console, and general purpose Password protected console ports Console mirroring between all local, modem, LAN, and web console Remote power up and power down control Configurable remote access control Event notification to system console-Provides connectivity, information, and support for

HP-UX tools (such as STM and EMS) to notify by email, pager and/or HP response centers Interface to system monitoring and diagnostic hardware via an internal IC bus Secure Sockets Layer security an web console


- System Console configuration SSL-secured Web console accessible through the 10/100Base-T management LAN Standard telnet connections accessible the 10/100Base-T management LAN Local VT100 or hpterm terminal, or VT100 or hpterm emulator via local RS-232 serial connection Remote VT100 or hpterm terminal, or VT100 or hpterm emulator via external modem VGA graphics console-supported on Windows, Linux, and HP-UX

- Internal Disk and Media Drives The HP Server rx2600 supports up to three internal low profile hot-plug disk drive. A dual channel U160 SCSI channel provides independent channels for the internal disks-two disks on one channel an on disk on a second channel. Split SCSI channels provide enhanced high availability-one channel can fail without impacting the disks on the other channel. Supported by MirrorDisk/UX across disk drives and independent channels. The NetRaid 2M U160 SCSI card (P3475B) is available for hardware RAID under the Windows and Linux Operatin sysems. Currently, the hp factory does not load the operating system in a RAID configuration. Customers should order internal RAID cables (A7071A) and re-load their operating system if internal RAID is desired 36GB 10K, 36GB 15K and 73GB 10K disks are supported Optional optical media drives includes a DVD-ROM (A6985A) and CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive (A6986A). The CD

-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive is not supported in windows at the time. Windows support may be Available in the future as 64-bit drivers become available.


- Overview


- CPU ConfigurationThe HP Server rx5670 is a symmetrical multiprocessing (SMP) server supporting Up to four

high-performance 64bit Itanium2 processor.

- Processor Details 900-MHz or 1GHz frequencies Level 3 Cache: 1.5MB(900MHz) or 3MB(1GHz) Level 2 Cache: 256KB Level 1 Cache: 32KB Single-bit cache error correction 50-bit physical addressing 64-bit virtual addressing 4GB maximum page size


- CPU Configuration Rules

CPUs can be installed one at a time CPUs must be installed in the following sequence: 0, 1, 2, 3 900-MHz and 1000-MHz CPUs cannot be mixed in the same system


- Memory ConfigurationThe HP Server rx5670 supports DDR (double data rate) SyncDRAM (synchronous dynamic random accessmemory) DIMMs with ECC and chip spare protection. The HP Server rx5670 supports up to two 24 DIMMmemory carrier boards, for a maximum of 48 DIMMs. Each memory carrier board connects to the memorycontroller via a 6.4-GB/s memory bus. Peak memory bandwidth across both buses and both carrier boards is12.8-GB/s.

Memory Loading Rules and Performance Guidelines Memory must be installed in groups of four DIMMs, also known as quads Each quad must consist of equal density DIMMs Memory can be ordered in quads of 1G (4x256MB), 2G (4x512MB), or 4GB (4x1GB) Minimum memory is 1GB (4x256MB) Maximum memory is 48G, using twelve 4GB memory quads in both memory carrier boards Memory must be loaded in order depicted on the memory carrier board Arrange DIMMs so that quads with the largest capacity are in the lowest numbered slot Each memory carrier board has its own 6.4-GB/s bus. Configuration both memory carrier boards to maximize bandwidth and performance If both memory carrier boards are used, load memory equally across the carriers-alternate loading of DIMMs, in groups of four, between the two carriers


- I/O ArchitectureThe HP Server rx5670 I/O architecture utilizes industry standard PCI-X and PCI buses in a unique design forMaximum performance, scalability.


- Integrated Multifunction Core I/O 10/100/1000Base-T LAN with RJ-45 connector-Support LAN boot for operating system installation. External LVD Ultra160 SCSI (160MB/s) port (Ultra160 is backward-compatible with LVD Ultra2 and

with SE-SCSI)-Order the appropriate cable to connect to external peripherals, examples: VH to HD

cable Two internal SCSI controller with dual Ultra160 SCSI (160MB/s) channels. One channel per

internal disk Pair and one channel for the removable media bay.

BMC (Baseboard Management Controller)

- Accessing the CLITo use the CLI, you must be connected to your Long's Peak/Wilson Peak using the "console" serial port it's the top connector, and it's labelled "console" on PP systems.

To enter the CLI from the system console, type: Esc (That's [Escape], then [Shift]-9. Right now, the BMC does not acknowledge the command, but if you press [Enter], the BMC will respond with the CLI prompt:

cli>

To return to the system console, type: Esc Q(That's [Escape], then [Shift]-Q.)

When you enter a command, you can use the [Backspace] key to correct mistakes. Press [Enter] to execute the command.
