NonStop Server Blade
The NonStop BL860c Server Blade is a two socket full-height server blade featuring an Intel®
Itanium® dual-core processor. Each server blade contains a ServerNet interface mezzanine card
with PCI-Express x4 to PCI-x bridge connections to provide ServerNet fabric connectivity. Other
features include four integrated Gigabit Ethernet ports for redundant network boot paths and
12 DIMM slots providing a maximum of 48 GB of memory per server blade.
IP CLuster I/O Module (CLIM)
The IP CLIM is a rack-mounted server that is part of some NonStop BladeSystem configurations.
The IP CLIM functions as a ServerNet Ethernet adapter providing HP standard Gigabit Ethernet
Network Interface Cards (NICs) to implement one of the IP CLIM configurations (either IP CLIM
A or IP CLIM B):
IP CLIM A Configuration (5 Copper Ports)
• Slot 1 contains a NIC that provides four copper Ethernet ports
• Eth01 port (between slots 1 and 2) provides one copper Ethernet port
• Slot 3 contains a ServerNet PCIe interface card, which provides the ServerNet fabric
connections
IP CLIM B Configuration (3 Copper/2 Fiber Ports)
• Slot 1 contains a NIC that provides three copper Ethernet ports
• Slots 2 contains a NIC that provides one fiber-optical Ethernet port
• Slot 3 contains a ServerNet interface PCIe card, which provides the ServerNet fabric
connections
• Slots 4 contains a NIC that provides one fiber-optical Ethernet port
For an illustration of the IP CLIM slots, see “Ethernet to Networks” (page 70).
NOTE: Both the IP and Storage CLIMs use the Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) subsystem. For more
information about the CIP subsystem, see the Cluster I/O Protocols Configuration and Management
Manual.
Storage CLuster I/O Module (CLIM)
The Storage CLuster I/O Module (CLIM) is part of some NonStop BladeSystem configurations.
The Storage CLIM is a rack-mounted server and functions as a ServerNet I/O adapter providing:
• Dual ServerNet fabric connections
• A Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface for the storage subsystem via a SAS Host Bus Adapter
(HBA) supporting SAS disk drives and SAS tapes
• A Fibre Channel (FC) interface for ESS and FC tape devices via a customer-ordered FC HBA.
A Storage CLIM can have 0, 2, or 4 FC ports.
The Storage CLIM contains 5 PCIe HBA slots with these characteristics:
