A large number of enclosure combinations are possible within the modular cabinets that make
up an Integrity NonStop NS14000 system. The applications and purpose of any NonStop NS-series
system determine the number and combinations of these enclosures and the cabinets that house
them. For example, installing three NonStop Blade Elements provides up to four triplex logical
processors per Blade Element.
Fibre Channel ports and Ethernet ports on the VIO enclosures provide ServerNet connectivity
for the two ServerNet fabrics and communication to storage devices and subsystems as well as
to LANs.
All Integrity NonStop NS-series server components are field-replaceable units (FRUs) that can
only be serviced by service providers trained by HP.
For information about installing the Integrity NonStop NS14000 server hardware, refer to the
NonStop NS14000 Hardware Installation Manual.
