The HP 9000 rp8440 Server chassis supports either one or two Core I/O cards (AB314A). Core I/O
slots are located along the right rear vertical edge of the chassis. One core I/O card is included with
each system. The first core I/O card will support up to four cell boards in the server and all I/O slots. For
support of two hard partitions, a second core I/O is required in the host system. For support of three or
four hard partitions (nPars), a third and/or fourth core I/O card can be added in the rp8440 Server
Expansion Unit 2. See the SEU 2 section for more details. HP 9000 rp8400/rp8420 Core I/O cards
cannot be carried forward to the HP 9000 rp8440 server.
Each Integrity core I/O card provides the following features:
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. The MP in
the rp8440 can be configured to failover to a secondary MP (again provided two core I/O board
sets are installed). Here are some of the features enabled by the HP 9000 rp8440 Server
management processor:
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
