these topics:
System Description
The Integrity NonStop NS1000 system combines up to eight HP Integrity rx2620
servers with the NonStop operating system to create the NonStop value architecture
(NSVA). Each HP Integrity rx2620 server contains a single Intel® Itanium® processor.
The Integrity NonStop NS1000 server supports configurations of two, four, six or eight
processors. It uses a subset of the modular system hardware used by other Integrity
NonStop NS-series servers, including a 4-port ServerNet extender (4PSE) card. The
4PSEs resides in the IOAM enclosure and allow ServerNet I/O connectivity from the
HP integrity rx2620s to the IOAM enclosure. For more information about the Integrity
NonStop NS1000 system, see Section 4, Integrity NonStop NS1000 System
