Modular Hardware Components
Modular Hardware Components
Hardware for Integrity NonStop systems is implemented in modules or enclosures that
are installed in modular cabinets. The servers include these hardware components:
•
Modular Cabinet with Power Distribution Unit (PDU)
•
NonStop Blade Complex
•
NonStop Blade Element
•
Logical Synchronization Unit (LSU) (in Integrity NonStop NS16000 and NS14000
systems only; Integrity NonStop NS1000 systems have no LSUs)
•
Processor Switch, or p-switch (in Integrity NonStop NS16000 systems only;
Integrity NonStop NS14000 and NS1000 systems have no processor switches)
•
I/O Adapter Module (IOAM) Enclosure, including subcomponent I/O Adapters:
•
Fibre Channel ServerNet adapter (FCSA)
•
Gigabit Ethernet 4-port ServerNet adapter (G4SA)
•
4-Port ServerNet Extenders (4PSEs) (Integrity NonStop NS14000 and NS1000
systems only)
•
VIO Enclosure (displayed by OSM as a VIO Module object) — For more
information, see Integrity NonStop NS14000 Systems, Integrity NonStop NS1000
Systems, or the Versatile I/O (VIO) Manual.
•
Fibre Channel disk module (FCDM)
•
Maintenance Switch (Ethernet)
•
UPS and ERM
•
NonStop System Console (to manage the system)
•
Cable Management Devices
•
Enterprise Storage System (ESS)
Differences Between Integrity NonStop NS-Series Systems
NonStop System Architectures
Integrity NonStop NS-series systems offer of a variety of architecture and configuration
options to suit different customer needs. Integrity NonStop NS16000 and Integrity
NonStop NS14000 systems take advantage of NonStop advanced architecture
(NSAA). For more information, see the NonStop NS16000 Planning Guide or NonStop
NS14000 Planning Guide. Integrity NonStop NS1000 systems employ the NonStop
value architecture (NSVA). For more information, see the NonStop NS1000 Planning
Guide.
Integrity NonStop NS16000 Systems
In Integrity NonStop NS16000 systems, IOAM enclosures connect through ServerNet
links to the processors via the processor switches. One IOAM enclosure provides
ServerNet connectivity for up to 10 ServerNet I/O adapters on each of the two
ServerNet fabrics. FCSAs and G4SAs can be installed in an IOAM enclosure for
