HP Integrity rx5670

Overview

Time of introduction: 2002-2003
Discontinued:

The rx5670 is a 7U rack-mountable SMP Itanium 2 server, with up to four processors. Closely matching the rx4640 system architecture, the rx5670 is also based on HP’s zx1 Itanium chipset. PA-RISC-based L-Class servers (built into the same system/chassis) could be upgraded by a board-swap — changing the main system board, processors and support hardware — to Itanium 2-based rx5670s (applies to HP rp5400/rp5450 (L1000/L2000) and HP rp5430/rp5470 (L1500/L3000)).

Prices at time of introduction: $23,000 (entry), $38,000 (average), $64,000 (large)

All caches are on-die (L1, L2 and L3).

Chipset

The systems are based on HP’s zx1 chipset, which consists of three main components — the MIO (memory and I/O controller), the IOAs (I/O adapters) and the SMEs (scalable memory expanders):

The I/O connectivity part of the chipset is made up of standard third-party I/O chips, implemented on Core I/O cards in two or three PCI slots
