Configuration
Cell Boards A minimum of one and a maximum of four cells can be ordered in an HP 9000 rp8420-32 Server. Each cell can be purchased with up to four active dual core PA-8800 processor modules (eight processors), or in combination with iCOD processors. Two processor speeds are supported; 900-MHz and 1.0-GHz. The ability to mix PA-8800 processor speeds within a chassis is supported (but processors within a cell or partition must be of the same speed). PA-8800 and PA-8700/PA-8700+ processors may not be mixed in the same server. The HP 9000 rp8420-32 Server (16 processor module slots) and HP 9000 rp7420-16 (8 processor module slots) servers share the same cell board. A processor module slot contains 1 dual core processor module (two processors). The HP 9000 rp8420-32 Server cell board can be carried forward to the HP Integrity rx8620 and supported Itanium processors in that chassis. The HP 9000 rp8400 cell board (A6096A) cannot be carried forward to the HP 9000 rp8420-32 Server and must be replaced (although previous HP 9000 rp8400 memory can be carried forward). When replacing previous HP 9000 rp8400 cell boards in an upgrade situation, cell board and PA-8700/8700+ return credits may be used.
