AH337A HPE Integrity Superdome 2 SD2-16s Server

AH337A is the SD2-16s, the 16 socket model of the HPE Integrity Superdome 2 server. One 18U compute enclosure takes up to eight Superdome 2 server blades (CB900s i4 or CB900s i6), and every blade carries two Intel Itanium 9700 series 8-core processor modules on the HPE sx3000 chipset. That is 2 to 16 processor modules, 16 sockets and 128 cores in the system.

Memory is 8 to 256 DIMMs, added in steps of 8 per blade, with a minimum of 32 GB (4 x 8 GB) and a maximum of 4 TB from 16 GB DIMMs. Each blade brings 4 built-in 10GbE ports, and the enclosure has 4 to 32 Ethernet NIC ports.

External I/O comes from the IOX enclosures: one to eight can be ordered with the SD2-16s, each with 12 slots (6 per I/O bay), for up to 96 external PCIe 8x Gen2 slots. The enclosure itself holds 4 crossbar fabric modules, 2 OA boards, 2 global partition services modules, 1 DVD module, 15 fans and 12 power supplies in a 2N arrangement, plus one SUV dongle cable (HPE part number 409496).

The active status door display is included when the SD2-16s is factory racked in the HPE SD2 G2 42U 600x1200 Enterprise Shock Rack. It can be field racked too, but a field racked unit is limited to a single blade due to weight limits, and further blades ship as separate items. The SD2-8s (AH352A) uses the same compute enclosure.

One enclosure measures 828 mm (32.6 in) deep, 447 mm (17.6 in) wide and 798 mm (31.4 in) high, and weighs from 108 kg (237 lb) empty to 314 kg (692 lb) fully populated. Maximum input power is 9,000 VA and maximum heat dissipation is 30,076 BTU per hour. The regulatory model number is FCLSB-1001, and HP-UX 11i v3 is the supported operating system.
