Modular Hardware
Modular Hardware
Hardware for Integrity NonStop NS-series systems is implemented in modules, or
enclosures that are installed in modular cabinets. For descriptions of the modular
hardware, see Section 5, Modular System Hardware.
NonStop S-Series I/O Hardware
Equipment from NonStop S-series systems can be connected to Integrity NonStop
NS-series systems via fiber-optic ServerNet cables. This includes communications
adapters, disks with the data and applications stored on them, and tape devices in
NonStop S-series I/O enclosures equipped with IOMF 2 CRUs. The IOMF 2 CRUs
must have an MMF PIC for connetion to fiber optic cables. For more information, see
NonStop S-Series I/O Enclosures on page 5-31.
System Models
The HP Integrity NonStop NS16000 is the first model in the Integrity NonStop NS-
series of servers and includes:
•
Intel Itanium 1.6 GHz, 6-MB cache processors
•
16 processors maximum
•
4-GB, 8-GB, or 16-GB main memory per logical processor
•
16 or 32 DDR SDRAM DIMM slots
Default Startup Characteristics
Each system ships with these default startup characteristics:
•
$SYSTEM disks residing in one of these two locations:

Fibre Channel disk module connected to IOAM enclosure group 110 with the
disks in these locations:
Note. Do not attempt to use NonStop S-series SEB or MSEB CRUs in NonStop S-series I/O
enclosures connected to Integrity NonStop NS-series systems. SEB and MSEB CRUs are not
compatible with Integrity NonStop NS-series systems.
