Internal ServerNet Interconnect Cabling
Internal ServerNet Interconnect Cabling
This subsection includes:
Cable Labeling
Fiber-optic cables provide all ServerNet and other I/O data signal interconnections
within Integrity NonStop NS-series systems. With the exception of the dedicated
service LAN, no copper I/O interconnect cables are used. Although fiber-optic cables
Processor switch 3U Immediately above LSU
enclosures and NonStop
Blade Elements if installed
in same cabinet
Two p-switches required.
IOAM enclosure 11U Any available 11U high
space with the middle or
upper Us of the rack
preferred
Location is optional depending
on required mounting of other
enclosures installed in the
rack (such as UPS, NonStop
Blade Elements, etc.)
Fibre Channel disk
