5 Hardware Configuration in Modular Cabinets
This chapter shows locations of hardware components within the 42U modular cabinet for a
NonStop BladeSystem. A number of physical configurations are possible because of the flexibility
inherent to the NonStop Multicore Architecture and ServerNet network.
NOTE: Hardware configuration drawings in this chapter represent the physical arrangement
of the modular enclosures but do not show PDUs. For information about PDUs, see “Power
Distribution Units (PDUs)” (page 42).
Maximum Number of Modular Components
This table shows the maximum number of the modular components installed in a BladeSystem.
These values might not reflect the system you are planning and are provided only as an example,
not as exact values.

Enclosure Locations in Cabinets
This table provides details about the location of NonStop BladeSystem enclosures and components
within a cabinet. The enclosure location refers to the U location on the rack where the lower edge
of the enclosure resides, such as the bottom of a system console at 20U.
