In addition to hard partitioning (nPars), HP 9000 rp8420 servers support virtual partitioning (vPars) to
the single processor or processor level (expected release of support or vPars on HP 9000 rp8420 servers
in second calendar quarter of 2004). With vPars, a user may support up to eight separate virtual
partitions each with an instance of HP-UX 11i v1 within each hard partition. VPars provides many of the
features of nPars but without the electrical isolation and support for hardware failures that nPars
provides.

The HP 9000 rp8420 Server was designed to provide industry leading performance density and
availability when ordered in a racked configuration. At 17 EIA units (29.75 inches), two HP 9000
rp8420 servers or one rp8420 with a Server Expansion Unit can be mounted into a single HP two meter
cabinet with 7 EIA units of extra space for mounting external peripherals.

The HP 9000 rp8420 Server industrial design and packaging was designed to allow easy and quick
access to all of the system's components. The most frequently handled devices, removable media and
disks, are directly accessible at the system's front. By removing the front bezel, hot swap fans, hot swap
power supplies, and PCI power supplies can be completely serviced. At the rear, core I/O and more hot
swap fans are directly accessible. For access to all other components, the rack mounted HP 9000
rp8420 Server comes with rack sliders. These rack sliders enables the HP 9000 rp8420 Server to be slid
forward out of the HP cabinet for servicing of internal components such as fans, cell boards, and I/O
cards, while the system is still running. The sliders also allows for servicing or replacement of any FRU
(field replaceable unit) without removing the chassis from the cabinet. The HP 9000 rp8420 Server
industrial design and slider strategy enables access and removal of any FRU within 15 minutes or less.
This design feature minimizes the downtime associated with system upgrades in the rare event of a
component failure. Also included with ever rack mounted HP 9000 rp8420 Server is a cable
management arm (CMA) The CMA neatly secures data cables and prevents cables from becoming
entangled while servicing of the system.

The following racking rules apply for HP 9000 rp8420 servers configured with an HP Server Expansion
Unit.

The HP Server Expansion Unit must be mounted in the same cabinet as the host HP 9000 rp8420
Server
The HP 9000 rp8420 Server must be mounted directly below the HP Server Expansion Unit

Due to the weight of the HP 9000 rp8420 Server, ballast kits have been developed to add stability to HP
cabinets while the system is being serviced. Every HP 9000 rp8420 Server shipped to customers,
excluding Pedestal models, will be shipped with a ballast kit. These ballasts were designed to easily
attach to the rear anti tip foot that comes standard with every HP Rack System E cabinet. Use of the HP
9000 rp8420 Server ballast kit is mandatory and should be installed immediately.

A heavy duty stabilizing kit is required for the rack of the rx8640 server to add stability for the HP
Universal 10K G2 rack. With this stabilizing kit, the ballast is no longer needed with the new HP
Universal rack. Use of the Heavy Duty Stabilizing kit is mandatory and should be installed immediately.

stabilization and transportation. Go to
