Modular System Hardware

System Console
Cabinet configurations that include an R5500 XR UPS also have one extended runtime
module (ERM). An ERM is a battery module that extends the overall battery-supported
system run time. A second ERM can be added for even longer battery-supported
system run time.
Adding an R5500 XR UPS to a modular cabinet in the field requires changing the PDU
on the right to be compatible with UPS. Both the UPS and the ERM are 3U high and
must reside in the bottom of the cabinet. A 1U keepout panel installed at cabinet offset
1U is required when installing a UPS.
This illustration shows the location of a UPS and one ERM in a rack (with the PDU
junction box set aside for clarity):
For power and environmental requirements, planning, installation, and emergency
power-off (EPO) instructions for the R5500 XR UPS, refer to the documentation
shipped with the UPS.
System Console
A system console is a personal computer (PC) running maintenance and diagnostic
software for Integrity NonStop NS-series systems. When supplied with a new NonStop
system, system consoles have factory-installed HP and third-party software for
managing the Integrity NonStop NS-series system. You can install software upgrades
from the HP NonStop System Console Installer CD.
Some system console hardware, including the PC system unit, monitor, and keyboard,
can be mounted in the Integrity NonStop NS-series system’s 19-inch rack. Other PCs
Note. Retrofitting a system in the field with a UPS and ERMs will likely require moving
all installed enclosures up in the rack to provide space for the new hardware. One or
more of the enclosures that formerly resided in the rack might be displaced and will
thereby have to be installed in another rack. Additionally, lifting equipment might be
required to lift heavy enclosures to their new location.
