NonStop NS2400 Series Planning Guide

7 NonStop NS2400T and NS2400ST Systems Overview
The NonStop NS2400T and NS2400ST servers are -48V Telco servers that combine HP Integrity
rx2800 i4 servers with the NonStop operating system. Each rx2800 i4 server is adapted for use
as a -48V blade element containing an Intel Itanium processor with two cores enabled and a
ServerNet PCI adapter card to provide connectivity to the ServerNet fabrics. The characteristics
of a NonStop NS2400T or NS2400ST system are:
