communications to storage devices and subsystems as well as to LANs. Additional IOAM enclosures can be added to increase connectivity and storage resources.

Integrity NonStop NS16000 systems connect to NonStop S-series I/O enclosures by using fiber-optic ServerNet links to connect the p-switches of the Integrity NonStop system to IOMF2 CRUs in the I/O enclosures.

Integrity NonStop NS14000 Systems

In Integrity NonStop NS14000 systems, there are no p-switches. There are now two types of NS14000 systems:

•A NonStop NS14000 system consisting of a single IOAM enclosure, with an I/O adapter module on each ServerNet fabric — processor connections are made through ports on 4-Port ServerNet Extenders (4PSEs), located in slot one and optionally slot 2 of each I/O adapter module, to the processors via the LSUs. The IOAM enclosure provides ServerNet connectivity for up to 8 ServerNet I/O adapters on each of the two ServerNet fabrics (FCSAs and G4SAs can be installed in slots 2 through 5 of the two IOAMs in the IOAM enclosure for communications to storage devices and subsystems as well as to LANs). Integrity NonStop NS14000 systems do not support connections to additional IOAM enclosures or NonStop S-series I/O enclosures.

•A NonStop NS14000 system consisting of two VIO enclosures, one on each ServerNet fabric — processor connections for processors 0-3 are made through ports 1-4 of the VIO Logic Board in slot 14 of each VIO enclosure, via the LSUs. An optional Optical Extender PIC in slot 2 provides for additional processor connectivity (processors 4-7). VIO enclosures have embedded ports and allow for optional expansion ports to supply the equivalent functionality provided by FCSAs and G4SAs in NS14000 systems with IOAMs.

Integrity NonStop NS14000 systems do not support connections to additional IOAM enclosures or NonStop S-series I/O enclosure

For more information on Integrity NonStop NS14000 systems, see the Versatile I/O (VIO) Manual, the NonStop NS14000 Planning Guide, or the NonStop NS14000 Hardware Installation Manual.

Integrity NonStop NS1000 Systems

Integrity NonStop NS1000 systems have no processor switches or LSUs. Like Integrity NonStop NS14000 systems, there are now two types: those consisting of a single IOAM enclosure (two IOAMs) and those consisting of one VIO enclosure for each fabric. ServerNet connectivity for each type is accomplished as described for the Integrity NonStop NS14000 Systems, except for the absence of the LSUs.

Integrity NonStop NS1000 systems do not support connections to NonStop S-series I/O enclosures. Besides the architectural differences, Integrity NonStop NS1000 systems also utilize different NonStop Blade Elements than Integrity NonStop NS16000 or NS14000 systems. For more information on Integrity NonStop NS1000 systems, refer to the NonStop NS1000 Planning Guide and the NonStop NS1000 Hardware Installation Manual.
