If the partition fails to boot or if the server was shipped without Instant Ignition, booting from
a DVD that contains the operating system and other necessary software might be required.
Adding Processors for HP Integrity rx8640 with Instant Capacity
The Instant Capacity program provides access to additional CPU resources beyond the amount that was
purchased for the server. This provides the ability to activate additional CPU power for unexpected growth
and unexpected spikes in workloads.
Internally, Instant Capacity systems physically have more CPUs, called Instant Capacity CPUs, than the
number of CPUs actually purchased. These Instant Capacity CPUs reside in the purchased system, but they
belong to HP and therefore are HP assets. A nominal “Right-To-Access Fee” is paid to HP for each Instant
Capacity processor in the system. At any time, any number of Instant Capacity CPUs can be “activated.”
Activating an Instant Capacity CPU automatically and instantaneously transforms the Instant Capacity
CPU into an instantly ordered and fulfilled CPU upgrade that requires payment. After the Instant Capacity
CPU is activated and paid for, it is no longer an Instant Capacity CPU, but is now an ordered and delivered
CPU upgrade for the system.
