1 System Hardware Overview Integrity NonStop NS-series servers use the NonStop advanced architecture (NSAA), which includes a number of duplex or triplex processor slices plus various combinations of hardware enclosures. These enclosures are installed in modular cabinets equipped with 42U-high, 19-inch racks. Note. In this publication, the term slice is equivalent to the term NonStop Blade Element (NSBE).
Hardware Enclosures and Configurations System Hardware Overview Each HP modular cabinet includes two power distribution units (PDUs) with junction boxes and AC power feed cables factory-installed at either the upper or lower rear corners. Each PDU distributes the AC site power as single phase 200 to 250 V AC to 14 outlets (each with two fuses) for connecting the power cords from the enclosures mounted in the modular cabinet.
System Hardware Overview Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) A large number of enclosure combinations are possible within the modular cabinets that make up an Integrity NonStop NS-series server. The applications and purpose of any NonStop-NS series server determine the number and combinations of the enclosures and modular cabinets.
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 NS-series server via fiber-optic ServerNet fabrics and the processor switch.
2 Facility Guidelines Modular Cabinet Power and I/O Cable Entry Power and I/O cables can enter the Integrity NonStop NS-series server from either the top or the bottom rear of the modular cabinets, depending on how the cabinets are ordered from HP and the routing of the AC power feeds at the site. Integrity NonStop NS-series server cabinets can be ordered with the PDU junction boxes installed either: • • Top, rear: Power and I/O cables routed from above the modular cabinet.
Electrical Power and Grounding Quality Facility Guidelines Electrical Power and Grounding Quality Proper design and installation of a power distribution system for an Integrity NonStop NS-series server requires specialized skills, knowledge, and understanding of appropriate electrical codes and the limitations of the power systems for computer and data processing equipment. For power and grounding specifications, refer to Modular Cabinet AC Input Power on page 3-1.
Power Cables for European Union Facility Guidelines combination of enclosures, calculate the total power consumption for the hardware installed in each cabinet as described in Enclosure Power Loads on page 3-6. Then add together the total power consumption values for all the modular cabinets in the system.
Weight Facility Guidelines Because of high heat densities and hot spots, an accurate assessment of air flow around and through the server equipment and specialized cooling design is essential for reliable server operation. Cooling airflow through each enclosure in the Integrity NonStop NS-series server is front-to-back. Consult with your HP cooling consultant or your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) engineer.
Dust and Pollution Control Facility Guidelines Dust and Pollution Control NonStop servers do not have air filters. Any computer equipment can be adversely affected by dust and microscopic particles in the site environment. Airborne dust can blanket electronic components on printed circuit boards inhibiting cooling airflow and causing premature failure from excess heat, humidity, or both. Metallically conductive particles can short circuit electronic components.
Operational Space Facility Guidelines For physical dimensions of the server equipment, refer to Dimensions and Weights on page 3-7. Operational Space When planning the layout of the server site, use the equipment dimensions, door swing, and service clearances listed in Dimensions and Weights on page 3-7. Because location of the lighting fixtures and electrical outlets affects servicing operations, consider an equipment layout that takes advantage of existing lighting and electrical outlets.
