1 System Hardware Overview Integrity NonStop NS-series servers use the NonStop advanced architecture (NSAA), which includes a number of duplex or triplex NonStop Blade Elements plus various combinations of hardware enclosures. These enclosures are installed in 42U modular cabinets.
Hardware Enclosures and Configurations System Hardware Overview This figure shows an example modular cabinet with a duplex processor and hardware for a complete system (rear view).
System Hardware Overview System I/O Hardware Configuration Because of the large number of possible configurations, you calculate the total power consumption, heat dissipation, and weight of each modular cabinet based on the hardware configuration that you order from HP. For site preparation specifications of the modular cabinet and the individual enclosures, see Section 3, System Installation Specifications.
System Hardware Overview NonStop S-Series I/O Enclosure NonStop S-Series I/O Enclosure NonStop S-series I/O enclosures equipped with model 1980 I/O multifunction 2 customer replaceable units (IOMF 2 CRUs) can be connected to the NonStop NS16000 server via fiber-optic ServerNet cables and the processor switch (p-switch).
2 Installation Facility Guidelines This section provides guidelines for preparing the installation site for Integrity NonStop NS-series systems: Note. For installation facility guidelines specific to the Integrity NonStop NS14000 system, see Section 8, Integrity NonStop NS14000 System Description.
Installation Facility Guidelines Emergency Power-Off Switches Emergency Power-Off Switches Emergency Power Off (EPO) switches are required by local codes or other applicable regulations when computer equipment contains batteries capable of supplying more than 750 volt-amperes (VA) for more that five minutes. Systems that have these batteries also have internal EPO hardware for connection to a site EPO switch or relay.
Installation Facility Guidelines Power Quality Power Quality This equipment is designed to operate reliably over a wide range of voltages and frequencies described in Enclosure AC Input on page 3-5. However, damage can occur if these ranges are exceeded. Severe electrical disturbances can exceed the design specifications of the equipment.
Installation Facility Guidelines Cooling and Humidity Control at a predetermined time in the event of an extended power failure. A timely and orderly shutdown prevents an uncontrolled and asymmetric shutdown of the system resources from depleted UPS batteries. The HP model R5500 XR UPS supports the OSM Power Fail Support function that allows you to set a ride-through time. If AC power is not restored before the specified ride-through time period expires, OSM initiates an orderly system shutdown.
Installation Facility Guidelines Weight mounted in ultra-thin server and storage enclosures, which are then deployed into modular cabinets in large numbers. This higher concentration of devices results in localized heat, which increases the potential for hot spots that can damage the equipment. Additionally, variables in the installation site layout can adversely affect air flows and create hot spots by allowing hot and cool air streams to mix.
Installation Facility Guidelines Dust and Pollution Control For your site’s floor system, consult with your HP site preparation specialist or an appropriate floor system engineer. If raised flooring is to be used, the design of the Integrity NonStop NS-series server modular cabinet is optimized for placement on 24-inch floor panels. Dust and Pollution Control NonStop servers do not have air filters.
Installation Facility Guidelines Operational Space All modular cabinets have small casters to facilitate moving them on hard flooring from the unpacking area to the site. Because of these small casters, rolling modular cabinets along carpeted or tiled pathways might be difficult. If necessary, plan for a temporary hard floor covering in affected pathways for easier movement of the equipment. For physical dimensions of the server equipment, refer to Dimensions and Weights on page 3-7.

4 Integrity NonStop NS16000 System Description This section describes the Integrity NonStop NS16000 system and covers these topics: Note. For system description information about the Integrity NonStop NS14000 system, see Section 8, Integrity NonStop NS14000 System Description.
Integrity NonStop NS16000 System Description NonStop Advanced Architecture However, contemporary high-speed microprocessors make lock-step processing no longer practical because of: • • • Variable frequency processor clocks with multiple clock domains Higher transient error rates than in earlier, simpler microprocessor designs Chips with multiple processor cores NonStop Advanced Architecture Integrity NonStop NS16000 systems employ a unique method for achieving fault tolerance in a clustered processor
NonStop Blade Complex Integrity NonStop NS16000 System Description All input and output to and from each NonStop Blade Element goes through a logical synchronization unit (LSU). The LSU interfaces with the ServerNet fabrics and contains logic that compares all output operations of the PEs in a logical processor, ensuring that all NonStop Blade Elements agree on the result before the data is passed to the ServerNet fabrics.
Integrity NonStop NS16000 System Description NonStop Blade Complex In the event of a processor fault in either a duplex or triplex processor, the failed component within a NonStop Blade Element (processor element, power supply, and so forth) or the entire Blade Element can be replaced while the system continues to run. A single Integrity NonStop NS16000 system can have up to four NonStop Blade Complexes for a total of 16 processors.
Processor Element Integrity NonStop NS16000 System Description Processor Element Each of the two or four processor elements in a NonStop Blade Element includes: • • • • • A standard Intel Itanium microprocessor running at 1.
Duplex Processor Integrity NonStop NS16000 System Description Duplex Processor The DMR or duplex processor uses two NonStop Blade Elements, A and B, both with two or four microprocessors. Fiber optic cables from each NonStop Blade Element connect the PEs to the LSUs. These LSUs then connect to two independent ServerNet fabrics. These two connections create communications redundancy in case one of the fabrics fails.
Triplex Processor Integrity NonStop NS16000 System Description Triplex Processor The TMR or triplex processor uses three NonStop Blade Elements, A, B, and C. As with the duplex processor, the optic cables connect the PEs to the LSUs, and these LSUs then connect to the two independent ServerNet fabrics. Dual ServerNet fabrics create communications redundancy in case one of the fabrics fails. For a description of the LSU functions, see Processor Synchronization and Rendezvous on page 4-8.
Integrity NonStop NS16000 System Description Processor Synchronization and Rendezvous Processor Synchronization and Rendezvous Synchronization and rendezvous at the LSUs perform two main functions: • • Keep the individual PEs in a logical processor in loose lock-step through a technique called rendezvous. Rendezvous occurs to: ° Periodically synchronize the PEs so they execute the same instruction at the same time. Synchronization accommodates the slightly different clock speed within each PE.
Failure Recovery for Triplex Processor Integrity NonStop NS16000 System Description Failure Recovery for Triplex Processor In triplex processors, each LSU has inputs from the three processor elements within a logical processor. As with the duplex processor, the LSU keeps the three PEs in loose lockstep. The LSU also checks the outputs from the three PEs.
Simplified ServerNet System Diagram Integrity NonStop NS16000 System Description The ServerNet network architecture is full-duplex, packet-switched, and point-to-point in a star configuration. It employs two independent I/O communications paths throughout the system: the ServerNet X fabric and the ServerNet Y fabric. These dual paths ensure that no single failure disrupts communications among the remaining system components.
P-Switch ServerNet Pathways Integrity NonStop NS16000 System Description P-Switch ServerNet Pathways This drawing shows the ServerNet communication pathways through the p-switch PICs and routers. Two p-switches are required in each system; one p-switch serves the ServerNet X fabric and the other the ServerNet Y fabric. In this drawing, the nomenclature PIC n means the PIC in slot n. For example, PIC 4 is the PIC in slot 4.
IOAM Enclosure ServerNet Pathways Integrity NonStop NS16000 System Description IOAM Enclosure ServerNet Pathways This drawing shows the ServerNet communication pathways through the routers in each ServerNet switch board to the ServerNet I/O adapters in each IOAM module.
Example System ServerNet Pathways Integrity NonStop NS16000 System Description Example System ServerNet Pathways This drawing shows the redundant routing and connection of the ServerNet X and Y fabric within a simple example system. This example system includes: • Four processors with their requisite four LSU optics adapters • One IOAM enclosure connected to the PIC in slot 4 of each p-switch, making the IAOM enclosure group 110.
Example System ServerNet Pathways Integrity NonStop NS16000 System Description This drawing shows the ServerNet X fabric routing within an example system of: • • • 16 processors with their requisite LSU optics adapters Four IOAMs of group numbers 110 through 113 Four NonStop S-series I/O enclosures of group numbers 61 through 64 The IOAM enclosures can reside in the same or different cabinets with MMF fiber-optic cables carrying the ServerNet communications between the IOAM enclosures and the p-switche
Integrity NonStop NS16000 System Description Example System ServerNet Pathways If a cable, connection, router, or other failure occurs, only the system resources that are downstream of the failure on the same fabric are affected. Because of the redundant ServerNet architecture, communication takes the alternate path on the other fabric to the peer resources.

Control, Configuration, and Maintenance Tools System Console Configurations One System Console Managing Multiple Systems The one OSM system console on the LAN must be configured as the primary system console. Because all servers are shipped with the same preconfigured IP addresses for MSP0, MSP1, $ZTCP0, and $ZTCP1, you must change these IP addresses for the second and subsequent servers before you can add them to the LAN.
Control, Configuration, and Maintenance Tools System Console Configurations This configuration is recommended. It is similar to the setup configuration, but for fault-tolerant redundancy, it includes a second maintenance switch, backup system console, and modem. The maintenance switches provide a dedicated LAN in which all nodes use the same subnet. Note. A subnet is a network division within the TCP/IP model. Within a given network, each subnet is treated as a separate network.
Control, Configuration, and Maintenance Tools Maintenance Architecture For best OSM performance, no more than 10 servers should be included within one subnet. Because all servers are shipped with the same preconfigured IP addresses for MSP0, MSP1, $ZTCP0, and $ZTCP1, you must change these IP addresses for the second and subsequent servers before you can add them to the LAN. You must change the preconfigured IP addresses of the second and subsequent system consoles before you can add them to the LAN.
