NonStop NS14000 Planning Guide (H06.10+)

7 Examples of Configurations
This section shows examples of hardware component configurations for the Integrity NonStop
NS14000 server. A number of other configurations are also possible because of the flexibility
inherent to the NonStop advanced architecture and ServerNet.
NOTE: Hardware configuration drawings in this appendix represent the physical arrangement
of the modular enclosures but do not show location of the PDU junction boxes. Location of the
PDU junction boxes for AC power feed can be from above or below the cabinet.
Minimum, Typical, and Maximum Hardware Configuration
This table shows the minimum, typical, and maximum number of the modular components
installed in a system. These typical values might not reflect the system you are planning and are
provided only as an example, not as exact values.
