Additional Components 

Each HPC LC Series reference design also comes equipped with an HP TFT 5600 RKM 
(integrated keyboard, monitor, and mouse), Power Distribution Units, and extra network 
cables for external network connectivity. All components are integrated and pre-cabled into 
HP 10000 series 42U racks.  

All of the internal rack network cables are labeled with a descriptive cable label to facilitate 
the identification process of each cable connection. The HPC LC Series cabling guides for 
LC 1000, LC 2000, and LC 3000 illustrate the point-to-point connections of each network 
cable and describe the cable label nomenclature in detail. 

Operating Systems and Software 

Each HPC LC Series cluster can be ordered with Linux or Microsoft operating systems 
installed.  Additionally, application software can be installed on the cluster.  This setup guide 
does not cover setup or installation of operating systems and software, however. 

Storage Components 

Each HPC LC Series cluster can be customized with storage options.  These options will 
require setup and installation steps that are not covered by this guide.  Use the documentation 
that comes with these options for setup information. 

Data CD 

The cluster ships with a data CD which contains useful information on your cluster 
components that can save time in answering questions about the hardware in the cluster.  The 
CD includes information on each cluster server such as: rack serial number where installed,  
server serial number, iLO DNS name, iLO MAC address, NIC IDs and NIC MAC addresses.
