A6438A HP Itanium 2 1.5 GHz 6 MB Module

A6438A is the Intel Itanium 2 dual-processor module for rx76xx and rx86xx servers, running at 1.5 GHz with a 400 MHz front side bus and 6 MB of Level-3 cache. One module includes two CPUs. HP sells two processors per module, so each module replaces two processors of the older modules.

The module is a processor option for the HP 9000 rp7420 and rp8420 and the HP Integrity rx7620 and rx8620. The cell boards that carry 1.5 GHz Itanium Processor Family processors with 6.0 MB of cache are A6913-69003, A6913-69103, A6913-69203 and A6913-69303.

When a customer returns old processor modules, a return credit is available. The credits are for single processors, so two return credits go with each dual-processor module purchased: the 1.5 GHz single-processor return credit on the rx7620 and rx8620 is A6438AN option 001. A cell board holds two Itanium 2 Madison modules (four cores in four processor modules), and Itanium 2 Madison, mx2 and PA 8800/PA 8900 modules cannot be mixed on one cell board.
