Figure 1-1 Integrity NonStop NS1000 Server Example
Hardware Enclosures and Configurations
Enclosures that house specific hardware components in an Integrity NonStop NS1000 system
include:
• Blade element (HP Integrity rx2620 server)
• Versatile I/O (VIO) enclosure
• Fibre Channel disk module (FCDM)
• Maintenance switch (Ethernet)
• Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) (optional)
• Extended runtime module (ERM) (optional)
A large number of enclosure combinations is possible within the modular cabinets of an Integrity
NonStop NS1000 server. The applications and purpose of any NonStop-NS1000 server determine
the number and combinations of the enclosures within a modular cabinet.
Because of the number of possible configurations, you calculate the total power consumption,
heat dissipation, and weight of each modular cabinet based on the hardware configuration that
you order from HP.
For site preparation specifications for the modular cabinets and the individual enclosures, see
Chapter 3 (page 25).
For examples of various combinations of enclosures installed in a modular cabinet, see Chapter 7
(page 93).
Figure 1-2 “Example of an Integrity NonStop NS1000 System” shows the rear view of an example
Integrity NonStop NS1000 system with eight blade elements in a 42U modular cabinet without
the optional UPS and ERM.
