HP Integrity Superdome and 9000 Superdome sx2000 CPUs and Memories, Backplane Power Supply Module

The backplane has two slots for power supply modules. The power supply connector for each slot has a 1-bit slot address to identify the slot. The address bit for power supply slot 0 is grounded. The address bit for slot 1 floats on the backplane. The power supply module provides a pull-up resistor on the address line on slot 1. The power supply module uses the slot address bit as bit A0 for generating a unique I2C address for the FRU ID prom. Figures 1-7 and 1-8 identify and show the location of the backplane power supply modules.

Figure 1-7 Backplane Power Supply Module

Each power supply slot has a power supply detect bit that determines if the power supply module is inserted into the backplane slot. This bit is routed to an input on the RPMs. The RPM provides a pull-up resistor for logic 1 when the power supply module is missing. When the power supply module is inserted into the slot, the bit is grounded by the power supply and logic 0 is detected by the RPM, indicating that the power supply module is present in the backplane slot.

CPUs and Memories

The cell provides the processing and memory resources required by each sx2000 system configuration. Each cell includes the following components: four processor module sockets, a single cell (or coherency) controller ASIC, a high-speed crossbar interface, a high-speed I/O interface, eight memory controller ASICs, capacity for up to 32 double-data rate (DDR) DIMMs, high-speed clock distribution circuitry, a management subsystem interface, scan (JTAG) circuitry for manufacturing test, and a low-voltage DC power interface. Figure 1-9shows the locations of the major components.
