The HP
Integrity rx7640 Server is a symmetrical multiprocessing (SMP) server
supporting up to eight high performance Intel dual core Itanium
processors (90X0 series or 91X0N series). Earlier single core "Mad9"
processors are supported with certain limitations. The server supports
HP's innovative sx2000 chip set. The rx7640 can be configured as a
single SMP server or divided into two smaller, hardware partitioned (nPars),
logical servers. |
| Cell Boards |
A minimum of one and a
maximum of two cells can be ordered in an HP Integrity rx7640 Server.
Each cell can be purchased with up to four active Intel dual-core
Itanium processors (90X0 series or 91X0N series) or in combination with
Instant Capacity processors. The rx7640 can support a mix of 90X0 and
91X0N series processors; however, within a single cell, all processors
must be identical The HP Integrity rx7640 and HP Integrity rx8640
servers share the same cell board. The rp7410/rp7420/rx7620 cell boards
cannot be carried forward to the rx7640 server. |

| Performance Tuning
Guidelines |
- For best performance, a cell should be configured with a
multiple of eight DIMMs or four pairs (although the server will
execute properly with an odd number of pairs). It takes eight DIMMs
to populate both memory buses. Populating only one of the two memory
buses on a cell board will deliver only half the peak memory
bandwidth.
- Load memory equally across the available cell boards.
|
|
| Memory Latencies |
There are two types of
memory latencies within the HP Integrity rx7640 Server:
1. Memory latency within the cell refers to the case where an
application either runs on a partition that consists of a single cell or
uses cell local memory.
2. Memory latency between cells refers to the case where the
partition consists of two cells and cell interleaved memory is used. In
this case 50% of the addresses are to memory on the same cell as the
requesting processor, and the other 50% of the addresses are to memory
of the other cell.The HP Integrity rx7640 Server average memory
latency depends on the number of CPUs in the partition. Assuming that
memory accesses are equally distributed across all cell boards and
memory controllers within the partition, the average idle memory latency
(load to use) is as show below: |
| Number of processors
Per Partition |
Average Memory Latency |
| 4- processor (single cell) |
~185 ns |
| 8- processor (two cell) |
~249 ns |
| |
|
| I/O Architecture |
Components within the I/O
subsystem are the I/O controllers, internal peripheral bay, and
multifunction Core I/O. The figure below shows the basic block diagram
of the I/O subsystem. The HP Integrity rx7640 Server I/O architecture
utilizes industry standard PCI X, and PCI-express buses in a unique
design for maximum performance, scalability, and reliability. To achieve
maximum performance and availability, each PCI/PCI-X slot on the I/O
board is controlled by its own Bus Converter ASIC and is also
independently supported by its own half of the dual hot swap
controllers. All PCI slots are designed to be compliant with PCI
Rev.2.2, PCI-X Rev.2.0a, and PCI-express Gen1 specifications.
The PCI-X 2.0 I/O Backplane implemented an important change to power
distribution to the I/O partitions. The PCI-X Power supply bricks have
been redesigned to allow the pair of them to be N+1 redundant in
operation. Both I/O partitions will sustain their operational state even
if one of the PCI bricks has failed. All the PCI voltages will remain
within the PCI specification. These power bricks are not part of the
PCI-X I/O board assembly. They plug into the edge of the PCI-X I/O
Backplane to provide power to the board and they are not backwards
compatible with the previous PCI power bricks. Any PCI brick failures
will be reported to the system so the failing brick could be hot
swapped.Two different IO expansion bays are supported in the rx7640
chassis:
BP1: PCI-X IO BAY:
The PCI-X board is two logically independent I/O circuits (or
partitions) on one physical board:
Escalante 0 and its associated eight Gemini ASICs, Core I/O 0 and 8
PCI-X expansion slots form PCI-X I/O Partition 0. Escalante 1 and its
associated eight Gemini ASICs, Core I/O 1 and 8 PCI-X expansion slots
form PCI-X I/O Partition 1.
BP2: Combined PCI-X / PCI-e IO BAY:
The PCI-Express board comprises two logically independent I/O circuits
(partitions) on one physical board: Escalante 0 and its associated four
Gemini (PCI-X) , four Apollo (PCIe) ASICs, and their respective
PCI/PCI-X/PCIe slots form PCI-Express I/O Partition 0 + Core I/O.
Escalante 1 and its associated four Gemini (PCI-X) , four Apollo (PCIe)
ASICs, and their respective PCI/PCI-X/PCIe slots form PCI-X I/O
Partition 1 + Core I/O.
The internal peripheral bay supports up to four low profile disks and
one removable media device (one removable media device can be configured
with one DVD+RW or one DAT (or optionally, two slimline DVD modules).
The internal disks are electrically divided into two pairs. SCSI
controller chips located on each core I/O board set supports each pair
of internal disks. This means that you must have both core I/O board
sets in order to access both halves of the peripheral bay. |
|
| PCI Backplane |
The HP Integrity rx7640
Server supports both PCI X 2.0 and PCI Express. Two different backplanes
are available. The PCI X 2.0 backplane (AB160A) supports sixteen (16)
PCI X slots. A combination PCI Express/PCI X 2.0 backplane (AD161A)
supports eight (8) PCI X slots and eight (8) PCI Express slots. AD161A
is not supported as an upgrade to earlier rx7640 models configured with
Intel Itanium Mad9M series processors.
Each backplane contains two master I/O controller chips located on
the backplane. Each I/O controller contains sixteen high performance 12
bit wide links, which connect to sixteen slave I/O controller chips
supporting the PCI X or PCI Express card slots and core I/O. Two links,
one from each master controller is routed through the crossbar backplane
and is dedicated to core I/O. The remaining thirty links are divided
among the sixteen I/O card slots. This one card per link architecture
leads to greater I/O performance and higher availability. Each
controller chip is also directly linked to a host cell board. This means
that at least two cell boards, located in cell slots 0 and 1, must be
purchased in order to access all sixteen I/O card slots. With one cell
board, access to eight slots is enabled.
Eight of sixteen I/O card slots are supported by dual high
performance fat links. Each link is capable of ~2 GB/s of bandwidth. Six
of the sixteen I/O card slots are supported by dual high-performance
links. Each link is capable of providing 1060 of bandwidth. This means
that half of HP Integrity rx7640 Server I/O slots are capable of
sustained 2.12 GB/s. Aggregate I/O slot bandwidth is ~23 GB/s. In
addition, because each I/O slot has a dedicated bus, any slot can be
"hot plugged" or serviced without affecting other slots. The hot plug
operation is very easy, and can be done with minimal training and
effort. |

Integrated
Multifunction Core I/O |
The HP Integrity rx7640
Server chassis supports up to two core I/O board sets. Each board set
contains two cards (MP/SCSI and LAN/SCSI), which are installed in
different locations. MP/SCSI cards are installed along the right rear
vertical edge of the chassis. The LAN/SCSI cards are installed in the
PCI card bay. The first core I/O board set will support up to two cell
boards in the server and all I/O slots. For support of two hard
partitions or for support of the third and fourth integrated disk drive,
a second core I/O board set is required in the host system.
HP Integrity rp7410/rp7420/rx7620 Core I/O cards cannot be carried
forward to the HP Integrity rx7640 server.
Both Core I/O board sets are identical. The "primary" and "secondary"
Core I/O LAN/SCSI board is supported by a 530 MB/s link. In addition, in
the "primary" core I/O, a SCSI controller from both the LAN/SCSI board
and MP/SCSI board each support a single internal disk drive. |
| |
| Each HP Integrity rx7640
Server core I/O board set provides the following features: |
- Management Processor: The management processor (MP), located on
each MP/SCSI card, is a dedicated processor that simplifies and
extends system management, and also enhances serviceability. The MP
minimizes or eliminates the need for the system administrator to be
physically at the system to perform tasks such as diagnostics,
system management, or even hard resets. Here are some of the
features enabled by the HP Integrity rx7640 Server management
processor:
- System management over the Internet or Intranet (telnet or
web)
- System console redirection
- Console mirroring
- System configuration for automatic restart
- Viewing history log of system events
- Viewing history log of console activity
- Setting MP inactivity timeout thresholds
- Remote system control
- Remote power cycle (except for MP housekeeping power)
- Viewing system status
- Event notification to system console, e mail, pager, and/or
HP Response Centers
- Automatic hardware protection of critical environmental
problems
- Access to management interface and console(s) on LAN failure
(modem required)
- Remote resetting of hardware partitions
- Forward progress indicator (Virtual front panel)
- Out of band Manageability and PDC firmware update
- Configure manageability and console security
- SSL
- External Management LAN port: 10/100Base T LAN port using an RJ
45 connector.
- One External SCSI ports: Ultra320 LVD SCSI port for connections
to mass storage or media. (A second U320 external port only
available when internal drive off of LAN/SCSI is connected to Smart
Array).
- Two External 1GbE LAN ports.
- Access to internal peripheral bay: The HP Integrity rx7640
Server internal peripheral bay is located at the top front of the
system chassis. The peripheral bay holds up to four low profile hot
plug disks and one half height removable media device ( One half
height bay supports two devices in the case of optional slim line
DVD's). Each HP Integrity rx7640 Server core I/O board set contains
dual channel Ultra320 SCSI controller chips that support the SCSI
devices in the internal peripheral bay. Each core I/O board set
supports two internal disks. It is important to note that separate
controllers and SCSI busses manage the two disks supported by the
primary and secondary core I/O set (This is a change from the
previous architecture in sx1000 based servers). If use of more than
two internal disks is needed, the HP Integrity rx7640 Server will
require both core I/O sets.
Core I/O Loading Rules
- Minimum of one Core I/O board set (primary) must be purchased
with each HP Integrity rx7640 Server
- Load the Primary (1) MP/SCSI board into slot 1 and the LAN SCSI
board into I/O cabinet 1 (slot 8).
- MP/SCSI slot 0 and I/O cabinet 0 corresponds to Cell Board slot
0. MP/SCSI slot 1 and I/O cabinet 1 corresponds to Cell Board slot
1.
- A cell board must be installed in slot 0 to enable use of Core
I/O 0. Likewise, a cell board must be installed in slot 1 to enable
use of Core I/O 1.
- Access to two internal disk drives and one half height removable
media bay is enabled with the installation of the first Core I/O
board set (Primary).
- The optional second Core I/O board set (secondary) must be
ordered to enable hardware partitioning
- The optional second Core I/O board set (secondary) must be
ordered to enable access to the third/fourth internal disks
- The optional second core I/O board set (secondary) must be
ordered to enable using the optional slim line DVD's.

AC/DC Power |
DC Power Supplies
The HP Integrity rx7640 Server comes with two power supplies that
provided dual grid (2N) protection. The hot swap design allows for the
replacement of a failed power supply without interrupting server
operation. All four power cords must be utilized to fully enable power
supply hot swap. HP Integrity rp7410/rp7420/rx7620 DC power supplies can
be carried forward to the HP Integrity rx7640 server
PCI Power
Supplies
PCI power supply is now a redundant N+1 design. One PCI power supply
failure will not affect the I/O bay since the remaining PCI power supply
will power both I/O bays (this is an upgrade from the sx1000 based
systems). PCI power supplies are hot swap capable (this is an upgrade
from the sx1000 based systems). HP Integrity rp7410/rp7420/rx7620 PCI
Power Supplies cannot be carried forward to the HP Integrity rx7640
server. |
AC Power
The HP Integrity rx7640 Server contains four C20 power receptacle ports
located at the bottom rear bulkhead. A minimum of two power cords must
be used to maintain normal operation of the HP Integrity rx7640 Server.
A second set of two cords can be added to improve system availability by
protecting, for example, against power grid failures, accidentally
tripped circuit breakers, or a failed power supply. The HP Integrity
rx7640 Server hardware is capable of receiving AC input from two
different AC power sources. The objective is to maintain full equipment
functionality when operating from power source A and power source B or A
alone or B alone. This capability is called "fault tolerant power
compliance".
Although many HP Integrity rx7640 Server configurations can be
sufficiently powered from a single 16 /20 amp branch circuit, the
optimum configuration is to use one 16 amp (minimum) branch circuit per
power cord. Due to the variety of 16/20 plugs used throughout the world,
the HP Integrity rx7640 Server Ordering Guide offers a choice of plug
options. |
AC Power Consumption
The HP Integrity rx7640 Server power consumption will vary greatly
depending on the hardware configuration and the input line voltages
supplied at customer sites. Because of the disparity of line voltages
throughout the world it's best to represent power consumption in VA
(Volt Amperes). With power consumption being of high concern throughout
the world, it's necessary to specify consumption in a couple of
different ways.
Maximum Theoretical Power: or "Maximum Configuration" (Input
power at the ac input expressed as Volt-Amps to take into account Power
factor correction.)
The calculated sum of the maximum worst case power consumption for every
subsystem in the server. This number will NEVER be exceeded by a
functioning server for any combination of hardware and software under
any conditions.
Marked Electrical Power: (Input power at the ac input
expressed as Volt-Amps.)
The server Marked Electrical Power is the rating given on the chassis
label and represents the input power required for facility ac power
planning and wiring requirements. This number represents the expected
maximum power consumption for the server based on the power rating of
the bulk power supplies. This number can safely be used to size ac
circuits and breakers for the system under all conditions.
Typical Maximum Power: or User Expected Maximum Power,
"Typical Configuration" (Expressed as Volt-Amps.)
The measured maximum worst case power consumption. This number
represents the larges power consumption that HP engineers were able to
produce for the server with any combination of hardware under laboratory
conditions using aggressive software applications designed specifically
to work the system at maximum load. This number can safely be used to
compute thermal loads and power consumption for the system under all
conditions.
For further power consumption details, see the HP Integrity rx7640
Installation manual. |

Distribution Units |
60-amp Power
Distribution Unit-
- AF916A (NA/JPN) and AF917A (International) - supported in 10KG2
rack
- E7683A (US) and E7684A (International) - supported in Rack
System E
Customers who prefer the fewest higher amperage connections from
their ac line current source to the HP Integrity rx7640 Server can use
the 60 amp power distribution unit (PDU). The AF916A & AF917A PDU's
contain 12 C19 outlets. The E7683A & E7684A PDU's contain 8 C19 outlets.
For more details on PDU's, please see PDU sales collateral. This PDU is
sold separately and can be ordered with any HP server solution.
The maximum amperage is 60 amps through the entire PDU and 20 amps
per breaker. Both limits must be met. If each 60 amp PDU can support up
to four HP Integrity rx7640 servers if the PDU is not mounted in the
same rack. Up to three HP Integrity rx7640 servers can be supported if
the PDU is mounted within the same rack.
For redundant power inputs, the second set of cords is added. If the
second PDU is plugged into a second grid this configuration provides
protection against:
- Losing power from a single power grid
- Accidental tripping of one or two circuit breakers
- Accidental disconnect of a single PDU power cord
- Accidental disconnect of up to four (two from each system)
system power cords
|
30 amp Power
Distribution Unit-
- 252663 D75 (NA/JPN) and 252663 B33 (International)-supported for
10K G2 rack
- E7681A (North America/JPN) and E7682A (International)-supported
with Rack System E
A 30 amp Power Distribution Unit (PDU) is also supported with HP
Integrity rx7640 Server. Rack configurations consisting of peripherals
and only one HP Integrity rx7640 Server will likely be best supported
with the 30 amp PDU. This PDU is sold separately and can be ordered with
any HP server solution.
Unlike the 60 amp PDU, each 30 amp PDU can only support one HP Integrity
rx7640 Server. The following configuration guidelines apply when using
the 30 amp PDU:
- A0 and A1 or B0 and B1 cords should never be plugged into the
same PDU
- Use two 30 amp PDUs to achieve input power redundancy (plugging
A0/A1 and B0/B1 into separate PDUs).
- Ordering tools will not force the purchase of a second PDU for
input power redundancy. A second PDU must be manually selected if
redundant input power is desired.

| Partitioning |
A hardware partition
corresponds roughly to a single, standalone system. Each HP Integrity
rx7640 Server can be subdivided into two partitions, each containing one
cell that has minimal shared resources with the other cell (partition).
Special programmable hardware in the cells defines the boundaries of a
partition in such a way that the isolation is enforced from the actions
of other partitions. Each partition runs its own independent instance of
the operating system (HP UX 11i v3 and HP-UX v2, Windows, Linux, or
OpenVMS). Applications cannot span partitions since each partition runs
its own instance of the OS, essentially functioning as a stand alone
server. However, different partitions may be executing the same or
different revisions of an operating system, or they may be executing
different operating systems altogether (such as HP UX, Windows, Linux,
or OpenVMS), with OS availability. Each partition has its own
independent CPUs, memory and I/O resources consisting of the resources
of the cells that make up the partition. Resources may be removed from
one partition and added to another without having to physically
manipulate the hardware just by using commands that are part of the
System Management interface. With a future release of HP UX, using the
related capabilities of dynamic reconfiguration (e.g. on line addition,
on line removal), new resources may be added to a partition and failed
modules may be removed and replaced while the partition continues in
operation.
Partitioning the resources of the complex in this way makes it easy
to run multiple application environments on the same physical system;
you can allocate physical resources and tune the operating system
running on each partition depending on the needs of the application (or
the most important application) you intend to run on it. Alternatively,
you can configure the HP Integrity rx7640 Server as a single partition,
allowing all the resources to be focused on a single set of tasks, for
example a large online transaction processing application.
You can increase or reduce the processing power of a partition by
adding or deleting cells (at this release, you must shut down the
operating system running on the affected partition(s) before moving
cells, and before configuration changes will take effect). Though the OS
might include commands for some configuration tasks, HP recommends you
use the Partition Manager (parmgr) to configure partitions.
The current release of HP Integrity rx7640 Server/HP UX 11i v2
supports hardware partitioning. Hardware based partition configuration
changes may require a reboot of the partition depending upon the
configuration change. The reboot of the partition only affects the
partition that is being reconfigured. The other partition defined in the
chassis is not affected and will continue to execute without
interruption. In a future HP UX release, dynamic hard partitions will be
supported. Dynamic partitions imply that partition configuration changes
do not require a reboot of the partition.
The HP Integrity rx7640 Server can be divided into two independent
hardware partitions. In a partitioned configuration, system resources
such as cell boards, I/O slots, core I/O, and disks, are evenly split
between the two partitions (the removable media device is dedicated to
partition 1). There is no flexibility to otherwise divide these
components. For example, it is not possible to include 12 I/O slots in
partition 0 and 4 I/O slots in partition 1; the split must be even.
The table below summarizes the resource split between hardware
partitions. |

| HP Integrity rx7640
servers support virtual partitioning (vPars) to the single processor
level similar to support on HP 9000 servers with HP UX 11i v1. With
vPars, a user will be able to support up to four separate virtual
partitions each with an instance of HP UX within each hard partition.
VPars will provide many of the features of nPars but without the
electrical isolation and support for hardware failures that nPars
provides.
|
HP
Virtual machines is supported on the rx7640 server. HP Virtual Machines:
- increases server utilization
- enables server consolidation
- provides rapid deployment of new
environments (a requirement for test and development environments)
- enhances the HP Virtual Server
Environment by providing soft partitioning with shared I/O, sub-CPU
granularity, and built-in dynamic resourcing for all Integrity
servers

| Racking |
The HP Integrity rx7640
Server was designed to provide industry leading performance density and
availability when ordered in a racked configuration. At 10 EIA units
(17.5 inches), four HP Integrity rx7640 servers can be mounted into a
single HP two meter cabinet (HP 10K G2 Universal rack).
The HP
Integrity rx7640 Server industrial design and packaging was designed to
allow easy and quick access to all of the system's components. The most
frequently handled devices, removable media and disks, are directly
accessible at the system's front. By removing the front bezel, hot swap
fans, hot swap power supplies, and PCI power supplies can be completely
serviced. At the rear, core I/O and more hot swap fans are directly
accessible. For access to all other components, the rack mounted HP
Integrity rx7640 Server comes with rack sliders.
These rack sliders enables the HP Integrity rx7640 Server to be slid
forward out of the HP cabinet for servicing of internal components such
as fans, cell boards, and I/O cards, while the system is still running.
The sliders also allows for servicing or replacement of any FRU (field
replaceable unit) without removing the chassis from the cabinet. The HP
Integrity rx7640 Server industrial design and slider strategy enables
access and removal of any FRU within 15 minutes or less. This design
feature minimizes the downtime associated with system upgrades in the
rare event of a component failure. Also included with ever rack mounted
HP Integrity rx7640 Server is a cable management arm (CMA) The CMA
neatly secures data cables and prevents cables from becoming entangled
while servicing of the system. |
|
| UPS |
Management of local UPSs
for the rx7640 and rx8640 is now through a LAN port on the core I/O
card. Management of UPSs by the predecessor, rx7620 and rx8620 servers
was through a serial port on the core I/O. The serial port is not
available on the rx7640 and rx8640 servers. Therefore, when upgrading or
adding rx7640 and rx8640 servers to your environment and using local
UPSs (as opposed to datacenter wide UPSs), make sure there is a LAN
management card available on the local UPS. |
|
| HP 10000 and 9000 Racks
(These racks are the pre-merger Compaq racks) |
The HP 9000 and HP
Integrity servers are supported for field installs into these racks.
Factory integration is not yet supported for HP 10000 and HP 9000 racks.
Differing depth requirements of the HP 9000/HP Integrity racking kits
preclude racking HP 9000/HP Integrity servers and HP ProLiant servers in
the same racks. Refer to the 10000 G2 Series Rack Best Practices Guide
for Information on rack deployment, stabilization, and transportation.
Go to
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/platforms/rackandpower.html
for more information.
When field racking for the mid-range servers in any rack (10K G2,
System E or third-party), the customer will have t order the appropriate
service product (HA124A1 option 570 - HP Startup Field Racked Mid Server
Service).
For further details, refer to the racking solutions subchapter in the
configuration guide. |
|
| Third-Party Racking |
HP Servers are designed to maximize
performance density when installed into HP Rack Systems. HP system Rack
Systems maintain the high level of safety and reliability of HP Server
solutions that customers have come to expect. Although HP strongly
recommends racking servers in HP Rack Systems, it is recognizes that
some customer circumstances may prohibit this. For those customers, HP
has developed a set of guidelines that when followed, enables server
installations into third-party cabinets. It is extremely important that
the guidelines be followed due to the wide variety of cabinets in the
market place. |
Upgrades
The rx7640 server is
capable of in-box upgrades from rx76xx/rp74xx servers.
You can also accomplish an upgrade by combining the purchase of a new
server with Trade-Up credits on the older server. Box swap upgrades may
have the advantage of less upgrade down time.
In-box upgrades and box swap upgrades may have similar prices
