1 Ov e r v i e w S e r v e r H is t o r y and S pec if i cati o ns Superdome was introduced as the new platform architecture for high-end HP servers between the years 2000 and 2004. Superdome represented the first collaborative hardware design effort between traditional HP and Convex technologies. Superdome was designed to replace T- and V-Class servers and to prepare for the transition from PA-RISC to Intel® Itanium® processors. The new design enabled the ability of running different operating

SD64 consists of left backplane and right backplane cabinets, which are connected using 12 m-Link cables. When the PA-RISC dual-core or the Itanium dual-core processors are used, the CPU counts are doubled by the use of the dual-die processors, as supported on the Intel® Itanium® cell boards. Up to 128 processors can be supported.

A C P o w e r The ac power system includes the PDCA, one FEPS, and up to six BPS. The FEPS is a modular, 2n+2 shelf assembly power system that can consume up to 17 KVA of power from ac sources. The purpose of the FEPS chassis is to provide interconnect, signal and voltage busing between the PDCAs and BPSs, between the BPSs and utility subsystem, and between the BPS and the system power architecture. The FEPS subsystem comprises three distinct modular assemblies: six BPS, two PDCAs, and one FEPS
