Memory Loading Rules and Performance Guidelines
  • Memory must be installed in groups of two DIMMs, also known as pairs or modules
  • Each memory pair must consist of DIMMs of the same type: same capacity/density, same organization, same number of ranks, and same speed
  • Memory be ordered in modules (pairs) of 2 GB (2×1GB), 4 GB (2×2GB), or 8 GB (2×4GB)
  • Minimum memory is 2 GB (2×1GB). NOTE: 2-GB is required for HP-UX 11i v3.
  • Maximum memory is 32-GB, using four 8 GB (2×4GB) memory pairs
  • Arrange DIMMs so that the pairs with the largest capacity are in the lowest numbered slots
  • For best performance, all DIMM slots should be populated with the same size DIMM.
 
Supported Memory Options
Description Product Number
2-GB chip spare PC2 4200 ECC x4 single rank Registered DDR2 SDRAM memory pair (2×1 GB DIMMs) AD274A
4-GB chip spare PC2 4200 ECC x4 single rank Registered DDR2 SDRAM memory pair (2×2 GB DIMMs) AD275A
8-GB chip spare PC2 4200 ECC x4 single rank Registered DDR2 SDRAM memory pair (2×4 GB DIMMs) AD276A
Server Form Factors and Rack Configuration The HP Integrity rx2660 is a 2U server. It comes in 3 form factors: rack mounted, OFS (Office Friendly Server) and pedestal versions. The rack mounted and OFS versions have the same base model product numbers with different options. The rack mounted versions are AH234A and AH235A options 001-003; the OFS are AH234A and AH235A options 004-006

The OFS is a pedestal form factor with reduced acoustics for workstation replacement and/or office environments. Note that the OFS does not support redundant fans or redundant power.

Please note that the pedestal version is not factory installed-it is a kit (AD251A) that must be assembled on site.

The rack mounted version of the rx2660 is supported in HP 10000 Series G2 cabinets. For factory integration order the Universal Rack Kit, AD253A, with 0D1 feature code. Sliding mounts and a cable management arm will be installed with the server in a factory integrated rack.

The HP Integrity rx2660 can be installed in the field with the Universal Rack Kit (AD253A with B01 feature code). This kit contains the slide mounts, cable management arm, and all other hardware needed to mount an rx2660 into a 19 inch cabinet.

Refer to the 10000 Series G2 Rack Best Practices Guide for information on rack deployment, stabilization, and transportation. Go to http://www.hp.com/go/rackandpower for more information.
Non-HP Cabinets For customers who choose to use non HP cabinets, the HP Integrity rx2660 provides simple options for installation and HP field support. The HP Integrity rx2660 field rack kit (AD253A) contains adjustable slide rails, allowing the server to be mounted in cabinets that use the four post EIA mounting system.

 

Once the server is mounted in a non HP cabinet, it must meet some simple criteria to ensure that HP field personnel can fully support the rack environment.

  • Anti Tip-The rack/cabinet must be solidly anchored to the floor both front and rear. This is usually accomplished by anti tip feet or by direct bolting to the floor.
  • Air Flow-The HP Integrity rx2660 uses front to back airflow to cool the unit. Thus a cabinet cannot have a solid front or rear door. Solid doors may have to be removed or changed to an open perforation pattern.
  • Cable Strain Relief-A proper method of strain relief must be used. This may force the elimination of the rear door in some cases.
  • Front and Rear Access-For proper cooling and ease of service access, HP recommends 32 inches of unobstructed floor space in the front and rear of rack installations. This recommendation applies to both HP and third party racks and cabinets.
I/O Architecture
The HP Integrity rx2660 I/O architecture utilizes industry standard PCI X and PCI Express buses in a unique design for maximum flexibility, I/O card availability, performance, scalability, and reliability.

The HP Integrity rx2660 I/O architecture consists of six dedicated I/O channels which provide up to 8.2 GB/s of I/O bandwidth allocated across standard I/O connectivity (with the Combo I/O backplane option), a dedicated slot for an optional 8 port Smart Array P400 Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) controller (mandatory with Windows based systems) and three open slots for additional, optional I/O card choices. The diagrams above show how these channels allocate bandwidth to the open I/O slots and to the integrated core I/O.

The standard I/O connectivity is integrated on the rx2660 system board and includes an integrated HP 8 Internal Port SAS (Serially Attached SCSI) Host Bus Adapter, two 1000Base TX LAN ports, an RN50 graphics port, three USB v2.0 ports, and one general RS 232 Serial Port. Additionally, there is a standard Integrity iLO2 Management Processor with a rear RS 232 Serial Port.

Each port of SAS Host Bus Adapter can be connected to a SAS hard disk drive. SAS is a point to point architecture, compared to Ultra320 SCSI which is a bus based architecture. With SAS, each disk has its own individual 3 GB link. NOTE: That there are two possible 'integrated' RAID controllers for the rx2660: AD248A #106 refers to the embedded SAS RAID controller. AD248A #130, 530 and 540 refers to an add-in SAS p400 Smart Array card which occupies a 'private' slot (does not use one of the system's PCI slots).

HP UX, OpenVMS, and Linux support the integrated HP 8 Internal Serial Attached SCSI host bus adapter (AD248A #106), which supports a maximum of two RAID 1 volumes (2×2 HDDs) and a disk for global hotspare, for a maximum of five disks in RAIDed arrays. The remaining three disks (of the maximum eight disks that are supported) can be accessed normally, but not configured for RAID. Please note that MirrorDisk/UX is available for software mirroring on all HDDs in HP UX based systems, as HP Volume Shadowing (software Raid 1) for HDDs in OpenVMS based systems. Windows does not support this integrated HP 8 Internal Port SAS Host Bus Adapter. All Windows systems must order the HP 8 Port SAS Smart Array P400 Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) Controller Card (AD248A #130, 530, and 540), which is also available as an optional choice for HP UX, OpenVMS, and Linux systems. The HP 8 Port SAS Smart Array P400 Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) Controller is accommodated via a dedicated PCI Express slot, which provides up to 1.3 GB/s of sustained bandwidth.

The HP 8 Port SAS Smart Array P400 Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) Controller Card supports RAID 1, 5 and 6. All eight disks can be configured with this card for RAID 1, 5 and 6 in any combination. RAID 1 requires two identical HDDs, RAID 5 requires three identical HDDs, and RAID 6 requires four identical HDDs. Factory configuration of a RAID set is available. Please see rx2660 Ordering Guide for details. The two standard 1000Base TX LAN ports support Wake On LAN.

There is a mandatory choice of only one of two internal I/O card cage options, each option provides three I/O slots for I/O expansion within the system enclosure. The two I/O card cage options are an all PCI X Card Cage and a Combo Card Cage. The all PCI X Card Cage provides two PCI X 266 MHz 64 bit I/O slots and one PCI X 133 MHz 64 bit I/O slots (AD246A). Please note that this option (AD246A) is not supported with Windows based systems. Each slot of the AD246A has its own dedicated bus and its own independent I/O channel. An independent channel provides improved I/O performance and error containment. Independence protects each I/O card from bus hangs or extended latencies due to the failure or high bandwidth demands of other I/O cards. Independence also ensures that each I/O card can achieve maximum throughput. The two 266 MHz slots provide 2.1 GB/s of sustained bandwidth, while the one 133 MHz slot provides 1.1/GB/s of sustained bandwidth.

The Combination Card Cage (AD247A) provides two PCI Express x8 slots and one PCI X 133 MHz 64 bit I/O slot. Please note that the AD247A is required for Windows based systems. Each slot of the AD247A has its own dedicated bus and its own independent I/O channel. The two PCI Express slots 2.6 GB/s of sustained bandwidth, while the one 133 MHz slot provides 1.1 GB/s of sustained bandwidth.

All I/O slots are keyed for 3.3V I/O cards. 5V cards are not supported in the HP Integrity rx2660. OLAR (On-line add/remove) operations are not supported on the rx2660.

The chart below provides further details on the standard I/O.
