>>1)core
Every nPartition must have a cell that is attached to an I/O chassis that has a core I/O card in it. You can have multiple core cells, meaning cells to which an I/O chassis is attached with a core I/O card in it, but only one of these is the active core cell. If you have multiple core cells in an nPartition and the primary core cell fails, then you have a backup core cell. Not all HP 9000s allow you to have multiple core cells.

>>2)cell or 3)cellboard
A cell board (normally referred to as simply a cell) is a hardware component that houses up to four CPU modules. (Integrity servers support dual-core processors. Even though these dual-core processors double the effective number of processors in the complex, there are physically four CPU slots per cell. In each CPU slot a single, dual-core processors can be installed.) It also houses a maximum of 32 DIMM slots
>>4)cab(inet) or 5)chasis
A node partition is a collection of components that may form a subset of the total number of components available in a single hardware chassis or cabinet.
>>6)I/O core
The only card in the IO cardcage that is unique and has a predetermined position is known as the Core IO card
