Subject: where to specify parm98.dat + has AMBER been compiled on HP N-4000 complex

I am an AMBER novice attempting simulations of a nucleic acid system. I
have produced topology and initial coordinates using LEaP with the
parm98.dat force field. My question is: does sander require specification
of the parm98.dat file? I can't seem to find an answer in the sander
documentation, nor do I see a parm??.dat file being called in the sander
output files. Is the use of parm98.dat in LEaP sufficient?

My second question: has AMBER (specifically sander) been compiled and
successfully parallelized on an HP N-4000 complex? Can sander run on more
than one node (i.e. more than the 8 processors of one node)?
