Q: What is the HP ProLiant xw2x220c Blade Workstation?
A: The HP ProLiant xw2x220c Blade Workstation is a high-density mid-range workstation with two independent
workstation nodes in a single half-height blade package. Each workstation node has its own processor, memory,
disk drive, and mezzanine slot which can be fitted with graphics subsystem. This allows up to 32 workstations in
a c7000 enclosure and 128 workstations in a standard 42U rack.
Q: How does software licensing work on HP ProLiant xw2x220c Blade Workstation?
A: A single HP xw2x220c is essentially two workstations as far as software licensing goes. If you purchase
Microsoft® Windows® with it, you will be purchasing two licenses and receive two certificates of authenticity
stickers on it. Any software, both HP and non-HP, will treat one HP xw2x220c Blade Workstation as two
systems.
Q: How does support service work for an HP ProLiant xw2x220c Blade Workstation?
A: As previously stated, a single HP xw2x220c is essentially two individual workstations, each with its own serial #,
network interface, and ID, etc. As such, all applicable services will and can be applied individually to each
workstation node. However, since two nodes are in a single blade package, if one system requires service, the
other node will need to be taken off-line while the service is performed.
Q: Can I mix an install both the HP ProLiant xw460c and xw2x220c Blade Workstation in the same enclosure?
A: Yes you can. However, you must take care as the HP xw2x220c network port and mezzanine slot mapping to
the enclosure switch bays are different than that of the HP xw460c. Please refer to the Quick Specs for more
details.
