Example 16-Processor Triplex System Cabling
IOAM is the two-controller, two-Fibre Channel disk module configuration shown in
detail in Two FCSAs, Two FCDMs, One IOAM Enclosure on page 6-24.
For details and instructions on connecting cables as part of the system installation,
refer to the NonStop NS-Series Hardware Installation Manual.
Example 16-Processor Triplex System Cabling
The next two illustrations show an example 16-processor triplex system with four
cabinets. The first illustration shows the cabinets that house the NonStop Blade
Element, LSU, and p-switch enclosures; the second illustration shows the two cabinets
that house the IOAM enclosures and Fibre Channel disk modules.
This illustrations show simplified, conceptual representations of the X and Y ServerNet
cabling between the NonStop Blade Element, LSU, p-switch, and IOAM enclosures.
For clarity, power and Ethernet cables are not shown. For cable-by-cable interconnect
diagrams, see Internal ServerNet Interconnect Cabling on page 6-3.
The example shows the cabling between cabinets using overhead cable handling
equipment rather than under-floor cable routing.
