Configuration The HP 9000 rp8440 Server is a symmetrical multiprocessing (SMP) server supporting up to 16 high
performance dual core HP PA RISC PA 8900 (1.068 GHz/64 MB L3 cache). The server is based on the
new and improved sx2000 chip set. The rp8440 can be configured as a single SMP server or divided
into up to four smaller, hardware partitioned (nPars), logical servers.
Cell Boards Cell Boards Cell Boards Cell Boards A minimum of one and a maximum of four cells can be ordered in HP 9000 rp8440 Servers. Each cell
can be purchased with up to four active PA 8900 processors, or in combination with Instant Capacity
processors.
The HP 9000 rp8440 and HP 9000 rp7440 (8 processor) servers share the same cell board. The
rp8400/rp8420/rx8620 cell boards cannot be carried forward to the rp8440 server.
Note that the rp8440 and rp7440 cell boards can be carried forward to the rx7640 and rx8640 Servers.

The HP PA RISC PA 8900 processors have two processors core per processor module.
There must be at least one active processors core (non iCAP) on each active cell board.
Activation of iCAP processors cores can be done one core at a time customers may order and
upgrade the PA 8900 processor in increments of at least one core (in this case the other core in a
processor must be iCAP).
On each cell board, processors must be installed in the following sequence 0, 2, 1, 3
