Thanks very much to Bill Hassell, Daniel Copeland, Dimitri Avgoustakis, Ilan
Green & Rick Jones.
Below is the summary to my question (which is given at the bottom):
According to HP's web site, the 2405 is an economy version of
the 2470. The 2470 has 4 PCI I/O slots while the 2405 has only
2 slots. The 2470 can be ordered with a 750 Mhz processor while
the 2405 has only the 650 Mhz processor.
RP2405 is a cheaper bundle coming with 650 MHZ cpu's
RP2470 is the same very box just the cpu's are 750 or 875 and costs more.
The website says 17" for the 2470 and 19" for the
2405 but since all racks are 19" wide, this must be some
handled with rack mount brackets of some sort.
HP has created the RPXX05 series with the 650 MHZ cpu's to lower prices and
compete with SUN.
It is preconfigured - such that if you don't need the latest cpu's and your
needs match the pre-configured bundle it is worth.
Please note it is all upgradeable to the higher end cpu's
You have RP2405/1 0.5 GB ram
RP2405/2 2 GB ram
RP5405/2 4 GB ram
RP5405/4 16 GB ram
RP7405/2 4 GB ram
RP7405/4 8 GB ram
RP7405/8 16 GB ram - TWO CELLS
The rp2470 can either come with the 650Mhz or 750Mhz CPU, whereas the rp2405
always comes with the 650Mhz (but you can upgrade to 750Mhz later, since
they are supported).
So we need to make sure that we get the correct CPUs/PCI slots and the
memory vis-à-vis to our initial contract.
Regards,
Rasheed.
