The rx6600 is also available in a stand-alone, pedestal form factor (AD308A). Kit will be shipped in a separate box for field installation only.

The HP Integrity rx6600 supports two I/O backplane options in order to provide maximum flexibility, I/O card availability, performance, scalability and reliability. The two options are a PCI-X 2.0 Backplane (AD296A Option Code 100) or a PCI-Express Backplane option (AD296A OptionCode 300). Only one backplane per system is supported.

PCI-X 2.0 Backplane:
This backplane provides ten PCI X I/O slots, two of which are reserved for Core I/O cards, and eight of which are available for I/O card expansion. The Core I/O slots will always be filled with either an HP PCI X 8 Internal Port Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) host bus adapter (for HP UX and OVMS systems) or an HP PCI X Smart Array (P600) 8 Internal Port Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) card (for Windows and Linux systems) (slot #1) and a PCI X dual port 10/100/1000Base TX LAN adapter (slot #2).

Each port of a Serial Attached SCSI card can be connected to a Serial Attached SCSI hard disk drive. When more than eight hard disk drives are required, a second HP PCI-X 8 port SAS card must be ordered. This second SAS card will be installed in the second core I/O slot, and the PCI-X dual port 10/100/1000Base TX LAN adapter will be moved out to a standard I/O slot. Note that when the LAN adapter is moved out to a standard I/O slot, Wake On LAN is not supported.

HP-UX and OpenVMS based systems with PCI-X 2.0 Backplane:
Must choose the HP PCI-X 8 Internal Port Serial Attached SCSI host bus adapter for Core I/O controller (AB036B Option Code 006 or Option Code 106). If factory configured RAID is not desired, select Option Code 006. If factory configured RAID-1 is desired, select Option Code 106. RAID-1 only is supported on the HP PCI-X 8 Internal Port SAS host bus adapter. When selecting Option Code 106, a minimum of 2 HDD's of the same size and speed are required. A maximum of two internal RAID 1 volumes (2×2 HDDs) and a disk for global hot spare, for a maximum of five disks in RAIDed arrays is supported. The additional three drives (of the maximum of eight drives supported on the controller) can be accessed normally, but not configured for RAID. When from 9 to 16 HDD's are ordered, a second SAS Controller is required to support disks 9 through 16. The second controller cannot be factory configured for RAID (unless it is done through Factory Express). For customer/field configured RAID arrays, the same limitations (two RAID 1 arrays and one global hot spare) exist. The additional three HDDs (14 through 16) can be accessed normally, but not configured for RAID. Please see rx6600 Ordering Guide for factory configuration details. Please note that MirrorDisk/UX is available for SW Mirroring on all HDDs in HP-UX based systems and HP Volume Shadowing (software Raid 1) for HDDs in OpenVMS-based systems.

Windows and Linux based systems with PCI-X 2.0 Backplane:
Must choose the HP PCI-X 8 port Smart Array (P600) Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) controller for Core I/O controller (AB036B Option 100, or Option 500, or Option 510). Option 100 provides for factory configuration of RAID-1 (requires a minimum of 2 HDDs). Option 500 provides for factory configuration of RAID-5 (requires a minimum of 3 HDDs). Option 510 provides for factory configuration of RAID-6 (requires a minimum of 4 HDDs). All HDDs must be the same size and speed. When from 9 to 16 HDDs are ordered, a second SAS Controller is required to support disks 9 through 16. The second controller cannot be factory configured for RAID (unless it is done through Factory Express). Please see rx6600 Ordering Guide for details.

Remaining Eight (non-Core I/O) slots:
The two slots (#3 and #4) next to the Core I/O slots have their own dedicated 64 bit 266 MHz PCI X bus and their own independent 2.1 GB/s I/O channel. These slots should be used for high performance PCI X cards, such as clustering interconnects or multi port storage adapters. The next two slots (slots #5 and #6) each have their own dedicated 64 bit 133 MHz PCI X bus and their own independent 1.1 GB/s I/O channel. The independent buses and I/O channels provide improved performance and error containment. Independence protects each I/O card from bus hangs or extended latencies due to the failure or high bandwidth demands of other I/O cards. Independence also ensures that each I/O card can achieve maximum throughput.

The remaining four slots (#7 through #10) share two 64 bit 66 MHz PCI X buses, with two slots allocated to each bus. Each pair of slots shares a 0.5 GB/s I/O channel.

NOTE: Hot plug operations are not supported with the Linux or OpenVMS operating systems or in the core I/O slots with any operating system.

All I/O slots are keyed for I/O cards with 3.3V signaling. Cards that use 5V signaling are not supported in the HP Integrity rx6600.

PCI-Express Backplane:
This backplane also provides ten I/O slots. There are two PCI X Core I/O slots; one PCI X Core I/O slot will always have a PCI X dual port 10/100/1000Base TX LAN adapter (slot #2), unless a second storage controller is required, in which case the second controller is configured in slot #2 and the LAN card is moved out to public slot #10, and one PCI X Core I/O slot is provided in the case that the HP PCI X 8 Internal Port Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) host bus adapter is chosen when ordering an HP UX or OpenVMS based system, or if an HP PCI X Smart Array (P600) 8 Internal Port Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) card is chosen (slot #1) when ordering a Windows or Linux based system. If a PCI Express 8 port Smart Array (P400, supports only internal connection to SAS disks) Serial Attached SCSI controller (supported with HP UX, OpenVMS, Windows, and Linux) is chosen, or if a PCI Express 16 port (8 internal ports and 8 external ports) Smart Array (P800) Serial Attached SCSI controller (for Windows and Linux only, also supports connection to external SAS disks) is chosen, the PCI X Core I/O slot remains empty and the PCI Express controller is installed in slot #3.

Each port of a Serial Attached SCSI card can be connected to a Serial Attached SCSI hard disk drive. When more than eight hard disk drives are required, a second 8 port Serial Attached SCSI card must be ordered. If a PCI-X card is chosen, it will be installed in the reserved PCI-X core I/O slot. If a PCI-Express card is chosen, it will be installed in slot #4.

HP-UX and OpenVMS based systems with PCI-Express Backplane:
These systems have the two choices for Core I/O controller; the HP PCI-X 8 Internal Port Serial Attached SCSI host bus adapter or the HP PCI-Express 8 Internal Port Smart Array (P400) Serial Attached SCSI controller.

Remaining Eight (non-Core I/O) slots:
The two slots (#3 and #4) next to the Core I/O slots share a PCI-Express x8 1.3-GB/s I/O channel. The next two slots (slots #5 and #6) each have their own PCI-Express x8 2.6-GB/s I/O channel. The independent I/O channels provide improved performance and error containment. Independence protects each I/O card from bus hangs or extended latencies due to the failure or high bandwidth demands of other I/O cards. Independence also ensures that each I/O card can achieve maximum throughput. These slots should be used for high performance PCI X cards, such as clustering interconnects or multi port storage adapters.

The remaining four slots (#7 through #10) are PCI-X slots. Slots #7 and #8 each have their own dedicated 64 bit 133 MHz PCI-X channel; slot #7 is 1.1 GB/s and slot #8 is 0.5 GB/s. Slots #9 and #10 share a 64-bit 66-MHz PCI-X 0.5 GB/s I/O channel.
