Rack and Offset Physical Location

Rack name and rack offset identify the physical location of components in an Integrity

NonStop NS-series system. The rack name is located on an external label affixed to

the rack, which includes the system name plus a 2-digit rack number.

Rack offset is labeled on the rails in each side of the rack. These rails are measured

vertically in units called U, with one U measuring 1.75 inches (44 millimeters). The rack

is 42U high with 1U located at the bottom and 42U at the top. The rack offset is the

lowest number on the rack that the component occupies.

Blade Element Group-Module-Slot Numbering

•

Group:

In OSM Service Connection displays, 400 through 407 relates to blade

complexes 0 through 7. Each blade complex includes a blade element and its

associated processor.

Example: group 403 = blade complex 3

In the OSM Low-Level Link, 400 relates to all blade complexes.

Example: group 400 = any blade complex

•

Module:

In OSM Service Connection displays, a module represents either the blade

element or the processor:

In an Integrity NonStop NS1000 server, all blade elements are module 1.

Example: module 1 = any blade element

100-107 relates to processors 0-7

Example: module 102 = processor 2

In the OSM Low-Level Link, 100 through 107 relates to processors 0 through 7

Example: module 103 = processor 3

•

Slot:

In OSM Service Connection displays:

2 relates to the location of the ServerNet PCI adapter card in the PCI slots.

Only slot 2 is used.

3 through 4 relates to the location of the power supplies on the blade

element.

Example: slot 3 = the power supply in slot 3
