Compaq ProLiant ML770 Servers
Configuration Overview
1.0 Product Description
The Compaq ProLiantTM ML770 server is an enterprise-class computer system that supports Microsoft W indows
2000 Datacenter software.
The ProLiant ML770 series represents the next step in the evolution of computer enterprise servers. Based on
innovative cellular multiprocessing (CMP) technology, the ProLiant ML770 server establishes the first Intel-based
system capable of supporting large scale, ecommerce, and mission-critical applications.
2.0 Scope
This document provides an overview and covers a cursory description of each major assembly detailing hardware
interconnects.
3.0 Audience
This document is for system administrators, system operators, and Compaq customer service engineers.
4.0 Introduction
A ProLiant ML770 server can be configured as a single 32-processor partition, or it can be divided in up to four
partitions with each isolating a separate operating system.
The system hardware is divided into five levels:
Level A01 contains the cabinet fans.
Level A02 contains the Operator Control Panel (OCP) and the AC Power Entry.
Level A04 contains the power supplies for the two power domains.
Level A05 contains the system logic, which can accept up to 32 Intel Processors in groups of four.
Level A06 contains the PCI I/O buses--twelve slots per PCI bridge.
Note: There is no level A03.

Compaq requires that uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) be used as sources of AC input. The 3-phase AC
power controllers are divided into two power domains. Each power control domain consists of up to two Memory
Storage Units (MSUs), two Processors (PODs), and four PCI DIBS.

5.1.6 Level A05 System Controller
Figure 5-8: System Controller
The system controller is comprised of the following assemblies:
The common scan engine (CSE) JTAG interfaces between the service processor (also called a
Maintenance Interface Processor) and the hardware components (the IEEE 1149.1 TAP interface). The
ProLiant DL360 Service Processor is the Maintenance Interface Processor (MIP).
The DB9 serial (RS232) interfaces are used by the MIPs to communicate with the power control logic in
the system. There are two interfaces, one for each power domain.
The system oscillator supplies the appropriate system clocks and timing signals to all hardware
components that require them.

5.1.7 Level A05 Logic Front Cabinet View
Each Processor Module (POD) consists of two subPODS that contains crossbar logic to interface with the system
centerplane. The PODs have a private first-level cache memory for each processor, a private second-level cache
memory for each processor, and a shared third-level cache for all processors installed in a subPOD. Each
subPOD contains four Intel processors.
The Memory Storage Units (MSU) contain memory controller logic and dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). The
MSUs also interface with the crossbar interconnect (CI), which allows each Intel processor access to main
memory in a partition.
Figure 5-9: Level A05 Logic Front Cabinet
All processors in a single subPOD must have identical steppings and second-level cache.
SubPODs assigned to partitions must contain processors from the same family.

5.1.9 Memory Storage Unit (MSU)
The ProLiant ML770 system memory is built around the Memory Storage Unit (MSU) and can be up to 32 GB, with
a bandwidth of up to 20 GB/s. Each MSU board supports up to 32 dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs). The
DIMMs are installed in pairs, or expansion sets. Each MSU supports up to 16 expansion sets.
DIMMs are available in 128 MB, 256 MB, and 512 MB sizes.

5.1.10 ProLiant ML770 PCI Direct I/O Bridges Front
Each PCI direct I/O bridge (DIB) module connects the PCI subsystem to the crossbar interconnect and supports
three PCI bus modules comprised of four slots each. There are two proprietary PCI bus modules that support
partitions:
The Console Manager board provides the keyboard, VGA, and mouse support necessary to establish a
system console for independent partitions.
The Compatibility PCI board contains components that make it possible to boot an unchanged operating
system in a partition.
A fully configured server contains up to 64 PCI standard controllers. See Section 5.2, for guidelines to populate the
I/O subsystem.

5.2 Configuration Guidelines for I/O
Guidelines to populate options in the PCI I/O slots of the ProLiant ML770 servers:
Populate the I/O slots first with NIC adapters, then Gigabit Upgrade Modules, then Nonbooting SCSI, then
Nonbooting Fibre Adapters.
Do not place an I/O adapter in a slot that corresponds to an empty gray area of the table (see the next
section).
I/O slots that correspond to a numbered gray area of the table are reserved for the base system
configuration.
Populate I/O adapters in the system corresponding to the slot ranking as shown in the tables by a number
in parentheses.
If a slot is already occupied by an adapter, place the adapter in the next numerically ranked slot.
