Introduction The HP Integrity rx8620 Server is a member of the HP business-critical computing platform family mid-range, mid-volume servers positioned between the HP Integrity rx7620 and HP Integrity Superdome servers. Chapter 1...
Page 14: Overview
Introduction Overview Overview The HP Integrity rx8620 Servers are 17U high, 16-socket symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) rack-mount or stand-alone servers that accommodate up to 128GB of memory, PCI-X I/O, and internal peripherals including disks and DVD or tape drives. High-availability features include N+1 hot-swap fans and power, redundant power cords, and hot-plug PCI cards and hard disk drives.
Page 15: Figure 1-1 Hp Integrity Rx8620 Server (Front View)

Page 20: Figure 1-6. Memory Subsystem
Introduction Detailed HP Integrity rx8620 Server Description Figure 1-6 shows a simplified view of the memory subsystem. It consists of two independent access paths, each path having its own address bus, control bus, data bus, and DIMMs. In practice, the CC runs the two paths 180 degrees out of phase with respect to each other to facilitate pipelining in the CC.
Page 21 Detailed HP Integrity rx8620 Server Description PDH Riser Board The HP Integrity rx8620 Server PDH riser board is a small card that plugs into the cell board at a right angle. The PDH riser interface contains a microprocessor memory interface microcircuit, hardware including the processor dependant code (PDC) flash memory, and a manageability microcontroller with associated circuitry.
Page 22: Table 1-1. Cell Board Cpu Load Order
CPU 2 DIMMS The memory DIMMs used by the HP Integrity rx8620 Server are custom designed by HP and are identical to those used in the Superdome server. Each DIMM contains SDRAM memory components and is qualified to run at 125MHz. The CPU chip set will not support traditional DRAMs.
Page 23: Table 1-2. Hp Integrity Rx8620 Server Dimms
Valid Memory Configurations The HP Integrity rx8620 Server is capable of supporting as little as 0.5GB of main memory using two 256MB DIMMs installed on one of the cell boards and as much as 128GB by filling all 16 DIMM slots on all four cell boards with 2GB DIMMs.
Page 24: Table 1-3. Dimm Load Order
Introduction Detailed HP Integrity rx8620 Server Description A quad as seen in Figure 1-8, is a grouping of four DIMMs. Configurations with 8 or 16 DIMM slots loaded are recommended. The DIMM sizes in a quad can be different, but the DIMMs in an echelon must be the same size.
Page 25: Cells And Npartitions
I/O card assigned to the I/O chassis. On the HP Integrity rx8620 Server, each nPartition has its own dedicated portion of the server hardware that can run a single instance of the operating system. Each nPartition can boot, reboot, and operate independently of any other nPartitions and hardware within the same server complex.
Page 26: Internal Disk Devices For The Hp Integrity Rx8620 Server
Internal Disk Devices for the HP Integrity rx8620 Server As Figure 1-9 shows, in an HP Integrity rx8620 Server cabinet the top internal disk drives connect to cell 0 through the core I/O for cell 0. The bottom internal disk drives connect to cell 1 through the core I/O for cell 1.
Page 27: System Backplane
Introduction Detailed HP Integrity rx8620 Server Description System Backplane The system backplane houses the system clock generation logic, the system reset generation logic, DC-to-DC converters, power monitor logic, and two LBA link-to-PCI converter ASICs. It is the point of connection for the cell boards, PCI-X backplane, core I/O cards, SCSI cables, bulk power, chassis fans, front panel display, intrusion switches, and the system scan card.
Page 28: I/O Subsystem
Introduction Detailed HP Integrity rx8620 Server Description System Backplane to Cell Board Connectivity Four sets of vertical connectors serve as the point of connection for the cell boards. In addition, two vertical connectors per cell board carry signals from the CC on the cell board to the SBA chip on the PCI-X backplane, or an external I/O chassis PCI-X backplane, and back through the system backplane.
Page 29: Figure 1-11 Pci-X Board To Cell Board Block Diagram

Page 30: Table 1-6 Pci-X Slot Types
Core I/O Card Up to two core I/O cards can be plugged into the HP Integrity rx8620 Server. Two core I/O cards allows for two I/O partitions to exist in the HP Integrity rx8620 Server. The server can have up to two partitions but the total number of partitions possible in a server with the Server Expansion Unit attached is four.
Page 31: Figure 1-12 Mass Storage Block Diagram
Internal mass storage connections to disks are routed on the mass storage backplane, having connectors and termination logic. All hard disks are hot-plug while removable media disks are not hot-plug. The HP Integrity rx8620 Server accommodates two internal, removable media devices. Therefore, power connectors for a removable media device are required on the mass storage backplane.
