Introduction
This chapter provides information about the System Processor Unit (SPU) for the HP 3000/9x9KS and
HP9000 K-Class servers, and the HP VISUALIZE K260/K450/K460 EG and XP Workstations. It shows
and identifies the switches, displays, bulkhead connectors, and major SPU functional areas.
Figure 1-1 shows the frontview of an SPU. The same physical cabinet is used for both the HP 3000 and HP
9000 SPU.
