• Internal peripherals - serial-attached SCSI (SAS) hard drives and a DVD or DVD+RW drive

• High availability components - N+1 hot-swappable fans, 1+1 hot-swappable power supplies,

and hot-pluggable PCI-X or PCIe cards and SAS drives

• Processors - one or two dual-core Intel® Itanium® processors

• Memory - up to 96 GB of memory

Server Subsystems

I/O

The server may contain either a 10-slot PCI/PCI-X IOBP or a 10-slot PCI/PCI-X/PCIe IOBP. The

PCI/PCI-X/PCIe interfaces are classified under two major categories: public and private.

Public interfaces Public interfaces are PCI slot connectors that are left available to the customer

for the I/O-card adapters which they wish to install, based on their application needs, provided

the adapter is supported in the slot. All public slots support HP server traditional OL* hot-plug

operations.

Private interfaces Private interfaces are interfaces dedicated to meeting the core I/O system

requirements. There are two types of core-I/O: fast-core and slow-core, also known as the UCIO

(Unified Core-I/O). The Private slots and UCIO are not hot-pluggable.

Hot-plug PCI/PCI-X/PCIe hot-pluggable operations enable you to add or remove a

PCI/PCI-X/PCIe card while the server is powered on. Each slot is physically separated with a

divider that contains a card extraction mechanism and a mechanical retention latch (MRL). Slots

3 - 10 on the 10 slot PCI/PCI-X IOBP and slots 5 - 10 on the 10 slot PCI/PCI-X/PCIe IOBP support

HP-server traditional OL* "hot-plug" operations. PDHP slots rely on the facilities of DHPC (Dual

Hot-plug Controller) FPGAs to enable OL* hot-plug functionality. See Table 1-1 (page 27) and

Table 1-2 (page 28) for details.

LEDs Attention LEDs, doorbell buttons, and power LEDs for each hot-pluggable PCI/PCI-X/PCIe

slot are located on the PCI bulkhead at the rear of the server chassis.
