Info on E-Series Server (E55)

I have searched in docs.hp.com and itrc.hp.com in all sections (tech docs, forumns, etc.) for information on HP 9000 E55 (#856) and have found very little.

If you browse through products/servers on the site, the following series are listed and info in available: 8xx,A,D,F,G,H,I,K,L,N
I know the E-Series is an 8xx but it is a 8x6 and the only info available is on 8x7 servers.

Why is the E-Series missing?

The E55 includes a PA7100LC CPU and the earliest HP-UX release that supported it was 9.04 ... why is info available on the G,H,I series (where the earliest HP-UX release that supported it was 8.02... older than the E55) but not the E-Series?

What am i doing wrong?

P.S. I ask because i have the opportunity to buy an E55 and i am very interested because i'll be able to practice with HP-UX on my home network.

Thanks for any info.

I want to learn all I can about the Server.

Part Numbers for compatible harddrives, cdrom, memory, tape drives, network card, expansion cards, etc.

The E55 i have the option of buying doesn't have a cdrom or a harddrive. Only a tape drive.
