The HP Integrity rx7640 Server is a symmetrical multiprocessing (SMP) server supporting up to eight high performance Intel dual core Itanium processors (90XX series or 91XXN 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.

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.

• The Intel dual core Itanium processor consists of two processor cores. You may order and upgrade a dual core Itanium processor in increments of one core (the second core in a processor being iCAP).
• There must be at least one processor core active (the other core being iCAP) on each cell board.
• On each cell board, processors must be installed in the following sequence 0, 2, 1, 3
• HP Integrity rx7620 1.6 GHz 6 MB level 3 cache processors may be carried forward to rx7640 servers.
• Intel single core Itanium processors (now obsoleted) and Intel dual core Itanium processors can be mixed in the same chassis as long as they are in separate hard partitions (requires the same chipset, sx1000 or sx2000).

The HP Integrity rx7640 and HP Integrity rx8640 servers share the same 4 GB, 8 GB, and 16 GB memory products.

• Memory must be installed in pairs - modules (2 DIMMs of equal density)
• Memory modules (pairs of DIMMS) are available in three densities: 4 GB (2×2048MB), 8 GB (2×4096MB), and 16 GB (2×8192MB).
• Memory bundle product numbers consist of DIMMS already qualified in the memory modules.
• Minimum memory is 2 GB per cell
• Maximum memory per system is 256 GB-using sixteen 16 GB memory modules (8 GB pairs) per system.
• Larger DIMMs must be loaded first across a cell, followed by progressively smaller DIMM sizes.
• On each cell board, Memory Pairs must be installed in the following order:
  (0A, 0B), (1A, 1B), (2A, 2B), (3A, 3B), (4A, 4B), (5A, 5B), (6A, 6B),(7A, 7B)
• DIMM mixing other than recommended configurations is supported as long as the memory loading rules are followed

• 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.

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:

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.

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.
