Applications

The HP 9000 Series 800 was HP's line of PA-RISC-based technical and commercial servers, introduced in the late 1980s and spanning into the 1990s and early 2000s. These systems ran HP-UX and were widely deployed in engineering workstations, CAD/CAM environments, scientific computing, and enterprise data centers. The G40 was a mid-range entry in the 800 series family. Backplane boards like this one are sought today primarily as service spares to keep legacy HP 9000 installations running, or for repair and parts purposes. Facilities still maintaining HP-UX PA-RISC hardware for legacy application support represent the primary buyer base for this component.
