The rx2600 is a rack-mountable HP Itanium workstation based on the zx6000 workstation. Both have a similar system design and can be mounted in 2U in 19″ racks. The rx2600 supports up to two Itanium 2 processors and is targeted for PCI-X devices and thus does not feature the AGP port of the workstation-oriented zx6000.

The rx2600 was later marketed as rx2600-2.

Chipset

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

The rest are standard third-party I/O chips:
