Key points to note on the systems that these these A9918A HP core I/O Boards are utilized:-

The HP Integrity rx7620 Server is a member of the HP business-critical computing platform family: a mid-range, mid-volume server, positioned as an upgrade to the HP 9000 rp7410 product in the IA-64 product line.

The HP Integrity rx7620 Server shares the same hardware as the HP 9000 rp7410 with changes to the cell board, CPU modules, core I/O and the PCI-X backplane. The HP Integrity rx7620 Server provides increased performance over its predecessor.

The HP Integrity rx7620 Serveris a 10U, 8-socket symmetric multi-processing,rack-mount server that accommodates up to 64 GB of memory, PCI-X I/O, and internal peripherals, including disks and DVD/tape. Its high availability features include N+1 hot-pluggable fans and power,redundant power cords, and hot-pluggable PCI-X cards and internal disks. It currently accommodates up to 8 IA-64 processor modules with a maximum of four processor modules per cell board and a maximum of two cell boards.

The system backplane comprises the system clock generation logic, the system reset generation logic, DC-to-DC converters, power monitor logic, and two Local Bus Adapter (LBA) link-to-PCI converter ASICs. It also includes connectors for attaching the cell boards, the PCI-X backplane, MP/SCSI core I/O boards, SCSI cables, bulk power, chassis fans, the front panel display, intrusion switches, and the system scan card. Unlike Superdome orthe rp8400, there are no Crossbar Chips (XBC) on the system backplane.

The “crossbar-less” back-to-back CC connection increases performance and reduces costs. Only half of the MP/SCSI core I/O board set connects to the system backplane. The MP/SCSI boards plug into the backplane, while the LAN/SCSI boards plug into the PCI-X backplane.

The HP Integrity rx7620 Server accommodates two sets of MP/SCSI core I/O functionality. Each MP/SCSI core I/O board set consists of a MP/SCSI board and a Procurium LAN/SCSI board. At least one MP/SCSI board is required (independent of partitions).

An additional MP/SCSI board can be added as well (and is required in a dual partition system). Both MP/SCSI core I/O boards are oriented vertically and plug into the system backplane. The MP/SCSI core I/O board incorporates a dual channel Ultra160 SCSI controller and is hot-pluggable.
