HP9000 model

[tze chuan]

I know HP-UX machine is having new naming for their model, but I am having some difficult time to check on the servers specification on those v-class, n-class, k-class machine hardware specification, the HP-UX server home page shows only the rp series. Are the old model renamed or what? How can I get the hardware specification? No offend, I think HP home page is "too complicated" to dig out information as compared to other hardware vendor homepage, or just maybe I am not a good searcher.
thanks people.

The older machines have not been renamed. As far as I know HP just keeps the models that are currently for sale on their main HP 9000 pages.

For information on all models of machines, try here:

Here is a brief summation. The D, K and V class servers do not have new names. The names in brackets are the original names. Each model of system can be determined by typing in

# model
9000/800/S16K-A

rp2400 - Model string 9000/800/A400-6X (A400)
rp2450 - Model String 9000/800/A500-6X or 7X (A500)
rp5400 - Model String 9000/800/L1000 (L1000)
rp5430 - Model String 9000/800/L1500-7X or 8X (L1500)
rp5450 - Model String 9000/800/L2000 (L2000)
rp5470 - Model String 9000/800/L3000-7X or 8X (L3000)
rp7400 - Model String 9000/800/N4000-7X or 8X (N4000)
rp8400 - Model String 9000/800/S16K-A

Dear Tze,
The HP model number were changed this tear to a new convention. Only current models changed except the Superdome which remains as Superdome!
The new convention uses the first letter to indicate whether rack or tower (deskside) and the 2nd letter the CPU type.
therefore rp2400 is rack and pa risc.
rx.... is itanium.
tc.... is IA32 (Intel)

A-class became rp24xx, L-class rp54xx and N-class rp7400.
rp8400 is a new model.

The link below was posted up on the forum (sorry can't remember by who) a few months ago.

The site is a commercial remarketing site but it does show basic older model specs in an easy to view layout.
