Determining Your System Configuration 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
