NonStop NS16000 Series Planning Guide (H06.11+)

A large number of enclosure combinations are possible within the modular cabinet(s) that make
up an Integrity NonStop NS16000 series server. The applications and purpose of any NonStop
NS-series server determine the number and combinations of the enclosures and modular cabinets.
Because of the large 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 of the modular cabinet and the individual enclosures, see
Chapter 3 (page 37).
Preparation for Other Server Hardware
This guide provides the specifications only for the Integrity NonStop NS16000 series modular
cabinet and enclosures identified earlier in this section. For site preparation specifications for other
HP hardware that will be installed at the site with the Integrity NonStop NS16000 series servers,
consult with your HP account team. For site preparation specifications relating to hardware from
other manufacturers, refer to the documentation for those devices.
