P-Switch to NonStop S-Series I/O Enclosure Cabling
P-Switch to NonStop S-Series I/O Enclosure
Cabling
Each NonStop S-series I/O enclosure uses one port of one PIC in each of the two
p-switches for ServerNet connection. If no IOAM enclosure is installed in the system,
up to 24 NonStop S-series I/O enclosures can be connected to an Integrity NonStop
NS16000 system via these ServerNet links.
A single fiber-optic cable provides the ServerNet link between an I/O PIC port on both
the X and Y p-switch and the I/O multifunction 2 (IOMF 2) CRUs in a NonStop S-series
I/O enclosure. For cable types and lengths, see Enterprise Storage System on
page 5-27.
The cables from the two IOMF 2 CRUs must connect to PICs residing in the same slot
number in both the X and Y p-switch and to the same port number on each PIC.
