System Configuration Guidelines
This section provides guidelines for Integrity NonStop NS-series system configurations:
Integrity NonStop NS-series systems use a flexible modular architecture. Therefore,
almost any configuration of the system’s modular components is possible within a few
configuration restrictions stated in Enclosure Locations in Cabinets on page 6-2 and
also in IOAM Enclosure and Disk Storage Considerations on page 6-18.
This example shows one possible system configuration using a duplex processor, or
two NonStop Blade Elements:
