NonStop NS2200 Series Planning Guide

For detailed information about your system's tape unit, see the manual associated with the tape
unit (for example, the 5344-2SE Tape Drive Installation and User's Guide).
For information about the connections between the DAT unit and other system components ask
your HP service provider to refer to the CLuster I/O Module (CLIM) Installation and Configuration
Guide.
Preparation for Other NS2200T and NS2200ST System Hardware
This chapter provides the specifications only for the NonStop NS2200T and NS2200ST system
modular cabinets and enclosures identified earlier in this chapter. For site preparation specifications
for other HP hardware that will be installed at the site with the NonStop NS2200T and NS2200ST
servers, consult with your HP account team. For site preparation specifications relating to hardware
from other manufacturers, refer to the documentation for those devices.
Component Location and Identification (NS2200T and NS2200ST Systems)
This subsection includes these topics:
• “Terminology ” (page 118)
• “Rack and Offset Physical Location ” (page 119)
• “Blade Element Group-Module-Slot Numbering (NS2200T and NS2200ST Systems)” (page 120)
• “VIO Enclosure Group-Module-Slot Numbering (NS2200T and NS2200ST Systems)” (page 122)
• “CLIM CG Connection Group-Module-Slot-Port Numbering ” (page 123)
Terminology
These are terms used in locating and describing components:
DefinitionTerm
Computer system housing that includes a structure of
external panels, front and rear doors.
Cabinet
Structure integrated into the cabinet into which
rack-mountable DC-powered components are assembled.
Rack
The physical location of components installed in a modular
cabinet, measured in U values numbered 1 to 36 or 1 to
Rack Offset
42, with 1U at the bottom of the cabinet. A U is 1.75
inches (44 millimeters).
A subset of a system that contains one or more modules.
A group does not necessarily correspond to a single
physical object, such as an enclosure.
Group
A subset of a group that is usually contained in an
enclosure. A module contains one or more slots (or bays).
Module
A module can consist of components sharing a common
interconnect, such as a backplane, or it can be a logical
grouping of components performing a particular function.
A subset of a module that is the logical or physical location
of a component within that module.
Slot (or Bay or Position)
A connector to which a cable can be attached and which
transmits and receives data.
Port
A notation method used by hardware and software in
NonStop systems for organizing and identifying the
location of certain hardware components.
