HPE Superdome SX2000 Cell Board – A9837A
The HPE Superdome SX2000 Cell Board (Part No: A9837A) is a high-performance compute module designed for HPE Integrity Superdome SX2000 enterprise servers. This cell board forms the fundamental building block of the Superdome architecture, integrating processors, memory, and system connectivity into a single scalable server module.
Developed by Hewlett Packard Enterprise, the A9837A cell board is part of the SX2000 chipset architecture used in Integrity Superdome servers. Each cell board acts as an independent computing unit that can be combined with other cells to create powerful multi-processor server systems used in mission-critical enterprise environments.
The SX2000 architecture allows large-scale servers to be divided into hardware partitions (nPars) where each partition can operate as an independent server environment. This design provides high availability, scalability, and flexibility for enterprise data centers.

HPE A9837A Superdome Cell Board Description
The HPE A9837A Cell Board serves as the core compute module within the Integrity Superdome SX2000 server architecture. Each cell board integrates system processors, memory interfaces, and high-speed system fabric connectivity to enable scalable enterprise computing.
In Superdome systems, servers are built using multiple cell boards connected through a ccNUMA (cache-coherent non-uniform memory access) architecture. This allows processors on different cell boards to access shared memory while maintaining high performance and cache coherence.
A typical cell board configuration includes multiple processor sockets and memory slots, enabling large compute capacity per module. Multiple cell boards can be combined to create powerful multi-processor systems capable of running mission-critical workloads such as enterprise databases, large ERP systems, and high-performance computing applications.
The SX2000 Superdome platform supports advanced features such as hardware partitioning, fault tolerance, and scalable system architecture, making it ideal for organizations requiring extremely reliable enterprise infrastructure.
