Blade Complex Integrity NonStop NS1000 System Description Blade Complex The basic building block of the NSVA is the blade complex, which consists of rx2620 servers that are also referred to as blade elements. Each blade element houses one microprocessor called a processor element (PE). All input to and output from each blade element occurs through a ServerNet PCI adapter card located in each blade element. The ServerNet PCI adapter card interfaces with the ServerNet fabrics.
Integrity NonStop NS1000 System Description Blade Element In the term ServerNet fabric, the word fabric is significant because it contrasts with the concept of a bus. A bus provides a single, fixed communications path between start and end points. A fabric is a complex web of links between electronic routers that provide a large number of possible paths from one point to another. Two ServerNet communications fabrics, the X and Y, provide redundant, fault-tolerant communications pathways.

Integrity NonStop NS1000 System Description ServerNet Fabric I/O Overview ServerNet 3 routers are used within the Integrity NonStop NS1000 system as building blocks for the ServerNet fabric, which employ fiber-optic links exclusively and is a collection of connected routers and links that form a flexible internal or external network.
ServerNet Fabric I/O Integrity NonStop NS1000 System Description Simplified ServerNet System Diagram This simplified diagram shows the ServerNet architecture in the Integrity NonStop NS1000 system. It shows the X and Y ServerNet communication pathways between the blade elements, 4PSEs, ServerNet switch boards, and ServerNet I/O adapters.
ServerNet Fabric I/O Integrity NonStop NS1000 System Description IOAM Enclosure ServerNet Pathways This drawing shows the ServerNet communication pathways in the IOAM enclosure. Optic lines connect the ServerNet PCI adapter cards in the blade elements with the 4PSEs in each IOAM module. The 4PSEs in IOAM module 2 communicate with the X ServerNet switch board. The 4PSEs in IOAM module 3 communicate with the Y ServerNet switch board.
ServerNet Fabric I/O Integrity NonStop NS1000 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 (0 through 3) contained in blade elements 1 through 4. One IOAM enclosure, group 100, connected to the ServerNet PCI adapter card in a blade element.
System Architecture Integrity NonStop NS1000 System Description 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.
Modular Hardware Integrity NonStop NS1000 System Description Modular Hardware Hardware for Integrity NonStop NS1000 systems is implemented in modules, or enclosures that are installed in modular cabinets. For descriptions of the components and cabinets, see Modular Hardware Components on page 5-1.
