When to Use This Section
This section describes the system enclosures, the system organization, numbering and labeling,
and how to identify components in an Integrity NonStop NS-series server. For detailed information
on system hardware organization, refer to the appropriate planning guide for your Integrity
NonStop server.
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 series, and NS14000
systems only; Integrity NonStop NS1000 and NS1200 systems have no LSUs)
• Processor Switch, or p-switch (in Integrity NonStop NS16000 series systems only; Integrity
NonStop NS14000, NS1200, 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 and NS1200 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)
