On June 30, 2003, Hewlett Packard rebranded the HP 9000 Itanium 2 servers as HP Integrity. The Integrity brand name was inherited by HP from Tandem Computers via Compaq.

Integrity servers are based on two closely related chipsets. The zx1 chipset supports up to 4 CPUs and up to 8 PCI-X busses. The sx1000 chipset supports up to 64 CPUs and up to 192 PCI-X buses.

The successor chipsets are the zx2 and sx2000 respectivly.

The 7U rx4610 utilizes Itanium 1 CPUs with support for up to four single core CPUs, 64GB RAM and 10 PCI 64bit slots
The 4U rx4640 utilizes Itanium 2 CPUs with support for up to four dual core CPUs, 128GB RAM and 6 PCI-X slots

Both of these models come with integrated USB and Video as default, which enables support for Windows operating systems out of the box. The rx4640 is architecturally the same box as the rp4440, and can be changed from PA-RISC to Itanium 2 support with the flip of a switch.

rx5670

The 7U rx5670 server has four CPU sockets which support McKinley and Madison processors. It is zx1 based and can have up to 48 DIMM slots, supporting 256MB to 2GB DIMMs which must be loaded in matched quads. It has 9 PCI-X slots and 1 PCI slot available.

This server is no longer available.

Mid-Range Servers

rx7600 series

File:HP rx7620 front.jpg
Front view of a HP RX7620

The 10U rx7620 is based on the SX1000 chipset which supports both PA-RISC and Itanium 2 CPU´s.
The 10U rx7640 is based on the SX2000 chipset which supports both PA-RISC and Itanium 2 CPU´s.

  • Maximum of 2 cellboards
  • 4 CPU sockets per cellboard
  • 16 DIMM slots per cellboard
  • Maximum of 4 SCSI-disks and 2 tape and/or CD/DVD-ROM internally (Half to each cellboard)
  • 7 Hot-pluggable IO-slots per cellboard + 1 core IO slot per cellboard for SX1000

The rx7600 series are the smallest cell-based servers from HP. Just like the bigger rx8600 and the Superdome these servers can be partitioned, in this case either one big partition (two cells in one partition) or two independent cells.

rx8600 series

The 17U rx8620 is based on the SX1000 chipset which supports both PA-RISC and Itanium 2 CPUs.
The 17U rx8640 is based on the SX2000 chipset which supports both PA-RISC and Itanium 2 CPUs.

Front–side view of a RX8620
  • Maximum of four cellboards
  • Four CPU sockets per cellboard
  • 16 DIMM slots per cellboard
  • Maximum of four SCSI-disks and two tape and/or CD/DVD-ROM internally (half to cellboard 0, half to cellboard 1)
  • Eight Hot-pluggable IO-slots per cellboard and 1 core IO slot per cellboard for SX1000

Just like the smaller rx7600 and the Superdome, the rx8600 can be partitioned using any combination of the four available cellboards (minimum of one, maximum of four separated partitions).

The maximum number of partitions is four when used with an IO-expander unit (IOX); if there is no IOX present the system is limited to two partitions. This is because a partition requires IO-slots available, and the integrated IO-chassis in the rx8600 series is statically mapped half and half to cellboard 0 / 1).

Cells can be freely moved from a rx7600 series to a rx8600 series as long as the chipset is the same on the cells, and the firmware is compatible.

High-End Servers

Superdome
