Memory Configuration The HP Integrity rx2800 i2 supports DDR (double data rate) SyncDRAM (synchronous dynamic random
access memory) DIMMs with ECC and chip spare protection. The HP Integrity rx2800 i2 supports a
maximum of twenty-four DIMM slots. The base server comes standard with 6 DIMM slots (one 6 slot
memory riser, AM246A). Up to 18 additional DIMM slots can be added by ordering up to 3 additional of the
optional AM246A 6-slot memory riser. A maximum of 384 GB is supported (24×16GB DIMMs).
Memory Loading Rules and Performance Guidelines
Memory must be installed in groups of two DIMMs, also known as pairs or modules
Each memory pair must consist of DIMMs of the same type: same capacity/density, same
organization, same number of ranks, and same speed
Memory is ordered in modules (pairs) of 4 GB (2×2GB); 8 GB (2×4GB); 16GB (2x8GB); or 32GB
(2x16GB)
Minimum memory is 4 GB (2×2GB).
NOTE: 2GB DIMMs do not support double chip spare. Anytime 2GB DIMMs are installed in the
system, double chip sparing is not supported.
Maximum memory is 384-GB, using twelve (12) 32 GB (2×16GB) memory pairs
Alternate DIMM pairs between memory risers. If both processor sockets are populated, alternate
DIMMs between processors.
For best performance, all DIMM slots should be populated with the same size DIMM.

Server Form Factors and
Rack Configuration
The HP Integrity rx2800 i2 is a 2U server. It comes in 3 form factors: Rack-Optimized, OFS (Office Friendly
Server) and pedestal versions. The rack-optimized and OFS versions have different base model product
numbers; the rack optimized version is AH395A; the OFS version is AH396A. The pedestal version consists
of the rack-optimized version plus the pedestal foot; AM251A. The pedestal foot allows the server to be
deployed in a non-rack environment. Please note that the OFS version includes the pedestal foot.
The OFS is a pedestal form factor with reduced acoustics for workstation replacement and/or office
environments. Note that the OFS does not support redundant fans. The OFS does support redundant
power in limited configurations; 1 processor and 12 DIMMs, or 2 processors and 8 DIMMs.
In addition, the HP Integrity rx2800 i2 server offers a NEBS Level 3 DC powered option, which enables
equipment operability in network facility environments. NEBS compliance is a requirement for Telecom
Carriers and their Equipment Providers that are seeking to install equipment in central offices. They view
compliance as key to ensuring personnel safety, protection of property, and operational reliability. There
are three distinct certification levels specified in SR-3580, Network Equipment-Building System (NEBS)
Criteria Levels. All carrier-grade (CG) products released by HP are evaluated to the NEBS Level 3 criteria,
which provides the maximum assurance of equipment operability in network facility environments. The
Physical Components are described in GR-63-CORE, while the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and
Safety components are described in GR-1089-CORE.
Please note that the pedestal version does not have the reduced acoustics of the OFS version, because it is
based on the rack-optimized version. The pedestal foot is not factory installed; it comes as a kit that must
be assembled on site.
The rack mounted version of the rx2800 i2 is supported in HP 10000 Series G2 cabinets. For factory
integration order the Universal Rack Kit, AM227A, with 0D1 feature code. Sliding mounts and a cable
management arm will be installed with the server in a factory integrated rack.
The HP Integrity rx2800 i2 can be installed in the field with the Universal Rack Kit (AM227A with B01
feature code). This kit contains the slide mounts, cable management arm, and all other hardware needed
to mount an rx2800 i2 into a 19 inch cabinet.
Refer to the 10000 Series G2 Rack Best Practices Guide for information on rack deployment, stabilization,
and transportation. Go to http://www.hp.com/go/rackandpower for more information.

Non-HP Cabinets For customers who choose to use non HP cabinets, the HP Integrity rx2800 i2 provides simple options for
installation and HP field support. The HP Integrity rx2800 i2 field rack kit (AM227A) contains adjustable
slide rails, allowing the server to be mounted in cabinets that use the four post EIA mounting system.
Once the server is mounted in a non HP cabinet, it must meet some simple criteria to ensure that HP field
personnel can fully support the rack environment.
Anti Tip -The rack/cabinet must be solidly anchored to the floor both front and rear. This is usually
accomplished by anti tip feet or by direct bolting to the floor.
Air Flow -The HP Integrity rx2800 i2 uses front to back airflow to cool the unit. Thus a cabinet
cannot have a solid front or rear door. Solid doors may have to be removed or changed to an open
perforation pattern.
Cable Strain Relief -A proper method of strain relief must be used. This may force the elimination of
the rear door in some cases.
Front and Rear Access -For proper cooling and ease of service access, HP recommends 32 inches of
unobstructed floor space in the front and rear of rack installations. This recommendation applies to
both HP and third party racks and cabinets.

HP Integrity Trusted
Platform Module
The rx2800 i2 has an accessory option for an embedded security chip - the Trusted Platforms Module
(TPM) - product number AM237A. HP-UX Trusted Computing Services (HP-UX TCS) provides software
support for the TPM when running HP-UX 11i v3. By providing a low-cost embedded security chip option
(known as a Trusted Platform Module), HP has established a foundation for strong protection of sensitive
information - including cryptographic keys. Built around industry standards, the Trusted Platform Module
(TPM) provides a basis for key storage by securely generating and storing cryptographic keys. HP-UX 11i
TCS takes this a step further by providing the necessary infrastructure for managing the TPM, as well as
integrating it into select features such as HP-UX Encrypted Volumes and File Systems (EVFS).
Using HP-UX TCS with EVFS:
Using HP-UX TCS to make the unattended boot capability of EVFS more secure is an important example of
how HP-UX TCS can be integrated with other applications to enhance security. For more information see
the "Protecting EVFS Keys with HP-UX TCS" chapter in the "HP-UX Trusted Computing Services
Administrators Guide" available in the HP-UX Trusted Computing Services section at:

HP Integrity rx2800 i2
Power Subsystem
The HP Integrity rx2800 i2 provides a high level of integrated power protection:
N+N redundant hot swap power supplies (AC or DC)
N+N redundant AC or DC power input protection with electrical phase isolation
Power monitoring and control
The HP Integrity rx2800 i2 supports a second hot swap power supply for N+N protection. One AC power
supply is shipped as a standard part of every AC system (AH395A and AH396A) and is required for correct
operation. Two DC power supplies are shipped as a standard part of every DC system (AT112A). The hot
swap design allows for the online replacement of a power supply when N+N=2 supplies are configured in
the server.
