NonStop NS14000 Series Planning Guide (H06.13+)

1 NonStop NS14000 Series System Overview
The Integrity NonStop NS14000 series of servers consists of the NonStop NS14000 server and
the NonStop NS14200 server.
A NonStop NS14000 series server uses much of the same modular system hardware as other
NonStop NS-series servers. It supports up to eight processors using the “NonStop NS14000 Series
Architecture” (page 16), and ServerNet connectivity is extended from the Versatile I/O (VIO)
enclosure to the NonStop Blade Complex by way of the logical synchronization unit (LSU).
NOTE: For NonStop NS14000 series servers that contain I/O Adapter Module (IOAM) enclosures,
refer to the H06.07 (or earlier) version of this manual for planning, configuration, and maintenance
information of the IOAM enclosure.
