Overview
Platforms sold by Honeywell are engineered for the process control mission of Experion and TPS
systems to provide consistent and robust performance. Through an extensive qualification process,
Honeywell defines specific peripheral devices, slot locations, and BIOS settings for best performance
and reliability, sometimes even adding cooling fans for longer service. Honeywell platforms are then
built to Honeywell specifications by the computer manufacturer.
Honeywell engineering has tested the HP ProLiant DL360p Gen8 server with other Honeywell
hardware and software and has qualified its use for specific configurations as identified in the Software
Change Notice (SCN). This server is not a standard HP model and cannot be ordered independently
from HP. The Technical Assistance Center (TAC) is trained to support Honeywell platforms. Use of any
other server, including a similar HP model, is considered a project special and its TAC support is
limited according to the services policy.
This release of the server is based upon RAID-5 and dual power supply design and provides
computer-based functionality for Experion and TPS systems. For TPS systems and certain Experion
systems configured with Fault Tolerant Ethernet (FTE), the server has an LCNP4e/LCNp4e2 card
installed, which allows connection to the TotalPlant Process Network (TPN) coax through the LCN
Media Access Unit (MAU). Additionally, the server connects to the Ethernet or FTE using the on board
quad NIC.
The peripheral electronics assemblies are based upon either the Peripheral Component Interconnect
Express (PCIe) bus or USB 2.0. All mass storage devices are connected through SATA and PCIe. The
SATA DVDRW drive is connected through the SATA connector on the motherboard. The RAID-5 SAS
controller card is located on server motherboard.
The standard memory of this platform:
l
For 51155539-100 is 4GB (using 1x 4GB ECC RDIMM memory 1600MHz or faster) that can be
upgraded to 8GB (using 2 x 4GB ECC RDIMM memory 1600 MHz or faster).
l
For 51155539-200 is 8GB (using 1x 8GB DDR3 ECC RDIMM memory 1600MHz or faster) that can
be upgraded to 16GB (using 2 x 8GB DDR3 ECC RDIMM memory 1600 MHz or faster).
