System Installation Planning
Each Integrity NonStop NS-series system installation is unique, not only in its hardware
configuration, but also because of the purpose and applications that your system will
be running. Also unique to your system is its peripheral hardware, whether or not you
will integrate NonStop S-series hardware into the Integrity NonStop NS-series system,
and the physical site where your system will be installed. Local and national
regulations, codes, best practices, and so forth add further to the uniqueness of your
installation.
Because each installation is unique, HP recommends that you work with your account
team and with site and installation planning specialists to plan and prepare for
installation of your Integrity NonStop NS-series system. Refer to the Integrity NonStop
NS-Series Servers Site Preparation Guide for the requirements your site must meet.
System Installation Document Packet
To keep track of the hardware configuration, internal and external communications
cabling, IP addresses, and connect networks, assemble and retain as the systems
records an Installation Document Packet. This packet can include:
Factory-Installed Hardware Configuration Documentation
Each new Integrity NonStop NS-series system includes a document that describes:
•
Each cabinet included with the system
•
Each hardware enclosure installed in the cabinet
•
Cabinet U location of the bottom edge of each enclosure
•
Each ServerNet cable with:
°
Source and destination enclosure, component, and connector
°
Cable part number
°
Source and destination connection labels
This document is called a tech memo and is the physical location and connection map
for the system. An example tech memo that describes a duplex system is on the next
two pages.
