This section introduces the hardware used in Integrity NonStop NS-series systems:
Modular Hardware Components
These hardware components can be part of an Integrity NonStop NS-series system:
A large number of enclosure combinations are possible within the modular cabinets
that make up an Integrity NonStop NS-series system. The applications and purpose of
any NonStop-NS series system determine the number and combinations of these
enclosures and the cabinets that house them. For example, installing three slices
provides up to four triplex logical processors per slice with 12 slices providing a
maximum of 16 triplex logical processors.
An IOAM enclosure provides ServerNet connectivity for up to ten ServerNet I/O
adapters on each of the two ServerNet fabrics. Currently FCSA and G4SA controllers
can be installed in any mixture for communications to storage devices and subsystems
