The HP 9000 rp8420 Server chassis supports either one or two Core I/O cards (AB306A). Core I/O
slots are located along the right rear vertical edge of the chassis. A minimum of one core I/O card must
be ordered with each system. For support of 3 or 4 hard partitions (nPars), a third and/or fourth core
I/O card can be added in the rp84xx/rx86xx Server Expansion Unit. See its section for more details.

When upgrading HP Server rp8400s ordered before September 2003, these older servers will require a
Core I/O board upgrade. These servers were ordered with Core I/O product A6096A, which is not
supported in the rp8400 to rp8420 Server upgrade. HP Server rp8400s ordered after September 2003
were delivered with Core I/O product A7109A, which is supported in the rp8400 to rp8420 Server
upgrade.

 

 

 

Each HP 9000 core I/O card provides the following features:

 

Management Processor:

Management Processor:

Management Processor: The Management Processor (MP) is a dedicated processor that simplifies
and extends system management, as well as, enhances serviceability. The MP feature set was
designed to minimize/eliminate the need for the System Administrator to be physically at the
system to perform tasks such as diagnostics, system management, or even hard resets.
Features:

System management over the Internet or Intranet
System console redirection
Console mirroring
System configuration for automatic restart
Viewing history log of system events
Viewing history log of console activity
Setting MP inactivity timeout thresholds
Remote system control
Remote power cycle (except for MP housekeeping power)
Viewing system status
Event notification to system console, e-mail, pager, and/or HP Response Centers
Automatic hardware protection of critical environmental problems
Access to management interface and console(s) on LAN failure (modem required)
Auto system restart
Remote resetting of hardware partitions
Forward progress indicator (Virtual front-panel)
Out-of-band Manageability and PDC firmware update
Configure manageability and console security
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)
