This section provides the details relating to upgrading a Superdome.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that the customer is aware of the iCOD email requirements. That is, each bootable partition requires a connection to the internet to send email to notify Hewlett-Packard that the customer has allocated additional CPUs beyond the amount initially purchased. Each bootable partition must be configured to perform this operation.

For more details, go to http://superdome.hp.com and click on the iCOD link.

Upgrading the Server

Space requirements remain the same, but power and cooling must be increased when upgrading within a cabinet (adding additional cells, I/O, etc.).

Special attention should be given to the original circuit breaker and wiring sizes to ensure safety compliance and margins are sill appropriate.

Identify and plan for future upgrades and expansions. It is cost effective to provide the cooling and power capability now for potential future expansions.

Upgrading the System

Space, power, and cooling requirements must be considered and increased as necessary when upgrading a Superdome (adding additional cabinets, cells, I/O, etc.).
