Memory for RP5470 & RP7410

[Robert-Jan Goossens]

Hi,
(1)
Yes you are right, you have 2 Processor Support Modules

L3000/RP5470

L2000/L3000
4x440MHz PA-RISC 8500
4x550MHz PA_RISC 8600
RP5450/RP5470
4x650MHz PA-RISC 8700 with 1.5MB cache
4x750MHz PA-RISC 8700 with 1.5MB cache

one processor support module for every two CPUs is required

16GB RAM (8x2GB modules (2DIMMs per module) (L3000/RP5470 has 16 slots for memory DIMMs on base board)

Product numbers:
A5796A Processor Support Module (PA-8600)
A6799A Processor Support Module (PA-8700)
A6115A 2GB Memory Module (2x1GB DIMM)
Internal HDDs:
4x146GB HDD (A7080A)

Also correct, nickel only detected one cell (CAB/CELL: 0/1)

hi,

the RP5470 can support 4 cpu's as standard, you just need the correct processor support modules as stated by Robert, 1 per 2x cpu's.
Also as minimum config you get 1 memory carrier board with 8 slots, a 2nd can be added for expansion or correct memory interleaving within the system.

Your report says you have 2 carrier boards already, so you just ned to fill the slots.

If you have 2 cpu's already then you can add another 2 cpu's but will need the 2nd cpu support module.

The Rp7410 you are correct about

Hi,

Is my current RP5470 server consists of 1 or 2 processor support module?

regards.

Hi,

You should have 2 processor support modules as you are talking about the RP5470.

# ioscan -fnkCprocessor
will give the number of cpu's installed.

Probably the /var/tomstones/ts99 will display the number of System Boards installed.

# tail /var/tomstones/ts99

hi,

As the proc support modules are orderable extra's like additional cpu's then you probably only have 1 installed, as you only have 2 cpu's.

you could check the FRU list to check the part numbers that correspond to the support modules

echo "selclass qualifier system;info;wait;infolog" ¦ cstm > /tmp/system.txt

run this and view the parts fru part numbers. This should tell you.

I have an RP5470 and am using the utility Nickel but I do not get a detailed report on the memory as shown in this post. All I am getting is the total memory and nothing about what slots are used in the extender cards.

Am I looking to get something like this:

Memory Board Inventory

Extender
Slot Num Configured and Slot label for each DIMM (MB)
-------- --------------------------------------------
0a 2a 1a 3a 3b 1b 2b 0b
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----

EXT 0 512 0 0 0 0 0 0 512
EXT 1 512 0 0 0 0 0 0 512
------------------------------------------------------
System Total (MB): 2048



I read the man for Nickel and see no flags to set. System is an RP5470 running HP-UX11.

Thx in advance for any help.
