HP Integrity NonStop NS-Series Planning Guide—529567-005
7-1
7 Example Configurations
This section shows example configurations of the Integrity NonStop NS-series
hardware that can be installed in a modular cabinet. A number of other configurations
are also possible because of the flexability inherent to the NonStop advanced
architecture and ServerNet.
Topics include:
Minimum, Typical, and Maximum Hardware
Configuration
This table shows the minimum, typical, and maximum number of the modular
components installed in a system. These typical values might not reflect the system
you are planning and are provided only as an example, not as exact values.
Note. Hardware configuration drawings in this appendix represent the physical arrangement of
the modular enclosures, but do not show location of the PDU junction boxes. Location of the
PDU junction boxes are optional for AC power feed from above or below the cabinet.
