Planning the HP-PB Configuration
This section provides information for planning the configuration of I/O cards in the HP-PB
card cage. Two sets of guidelines are provided:
■
Configuring I/O for System Performance.
■
Power and Space Budgeting for HP-PB Card Cage.
NOTE
HP-PB Slot Priority:
On HP-PB, the higher the slot number, the higher the priority. However, priority is not
that important, since each module can get one transaction during each transaction
interval. Rules of thumb:
■
99x: Install cards for disk drives in higher numbered (higher priority) slots, but below
LAN/console card.
■
T-Class: install LAN cards in higher numbered (higher priority) slots, but below
LAN/console card.
Configuring I/O for System Performance (99x Only)
The maximums stated in this table are to optimize system performance. These values
should not be confused with the maximum number of cards supported.
To optimize system performance, the following HP-PB I/O guidelines are recommended
(Table B-1).
