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 6-20.

Note. For system configuration guidelines specific to the Integrity NonStop NS14000 system,

see Section 8, Integrity NonStop NS14000 System Description
