NonStop Blade Element Group-Module-Slot
Numbering
This example shows the location of NonStop Blade Element A in rack 1 with an offset
of 3U and NonStop Blade Element B with an offset of 8U:
NonStop Blade Element Group-Module-Slot Numbering
•
Processor group: 400 through 403 relates to NonStop Blade Complex of 0 through
3
Example: group 403 = NonStop Blade Complex 3
•
Module: 1 through 3 relates to the CPU NonStop Blade Element ID of A through C
Example: module 2 = NonStop Blade Element B
•
Slot: 71 through 78 relates to location of the Blade optics adapter
Example: Slot 72 = Blade optics adapter in slot 72
•
Port: J0 through J7 or K0 through K7 relates to the two optics ports in a specific
slot
A number of GMS configurations are possible in the modular Integrity NonStop
NS-series system. This table shows the default numbering for the logical processors:
Logical
Processors
Group (NonStop
Blade Complex)
Module (NonStop
Blade Element) Slot (Optics) Port
0-3* 400 1 (A) 2 (B) 3 (C) Blade optics
adapters 1-8
(software identified
as slots 71-78)
J0-J7,
K0-K7
4-7 401
8-12 402
13-15 403
* Logical processor 0 must be in NonStop Blade Complex 0 (group 400). All other
processors can be in any user-defined group.
