NonStop NS2400 Series Planning Guide

The IP CLIM:
• Can coexist with other types of CLIMs (Storage or Telco) in the same system.
• Is configured as part of a pair for fault-tolerance.
• Connects to the maintenance switch using an embedded Ethernet port.
• Has a ground connection between the CLIM chassis and the cabinet. For the procedure for
this ground connection and for details about the next bulleted item, ask your HP service provider
to refer to the CLuster I/O Module (CLIM) Installation and Configuration Guide.
• Has a retainer for the cable management arm, which keeps the cable management arm from
moving during a seismic event.
• Supports five Gigabit Ethernet ports. These ports can have a copper or fiber-optical Ethernet
interface, depending on the CLIM model and configuration (either configuration Option 1 or
Option 2) as described as follows.
Carrier-Grade IP DL380 G6 CLIM Option 1 Configuration (5 Ether Copper Ports)
• Slot 1 contains a ServerNet PCIe interface card, which provides the ServerNet fabric
connections.
• Slot 2 contains a NIC that provides two copper Ethernet interfaces.
• The embedded Gigabit NIC provides eth1, eth2, and eth3 ports for customer data.
Carrier-Grade IP DL380 G6 CLIM Option 2 Configuration (3 Ethernet Copper/2 Ethernet
Optical Ports)
• Slot 1 contains a ServerNet interface PCIe card, which provides the ServerNet fabric
connections.
• Slot 2 contains a NIC that provides one fiber-optical Ethernet interface.
• Slot 3 contains a NIC that provides one fiber-optical Ethernet interface.
• The embedded Gigabit NIC provides eth1, eth2, and eth3 ports for customer data.
For an illustration of the IP CLIM slots, see the illustrations for the commercial DL380 G6 IP CLIM
in “IP CLuster I/O Module (CLIM) (Optional)” (page 26), in which the slot locations are the same,
although the power supplies differ.
Carrier-Grade IP DL380p Gen8 CLIM Option 1 Configuration (5 Ethernet Copper Ports)
• Slot 1 contains a ServerNet PCIe interface card, which provides the ServerNet fabric
connections.
• Slot 2 contains a 2-port 1GbE copper NIC for customer interfaces.
• The embedded Gigabit NIC provides eth1, eth2, and eth3 ports for customer data.
Carrier-Grade IP DL380p Gen8 CLIM Option 2 Configuration (3 Ethernet Copper/2
Ethernet Optical Ports)
• Slot 1 contains a ServerNet PCIe interface card, which provides the ServerNet fabric
connections.
• Slot 2 contains a 2-port 1GbE optical NIC for customer interfaces.
• The embedded Gigabit NIC provides eth1, eth2, and eth3 ports for customer data.
All CLIMs use the Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) subsystem. For more information about managing
your CLIMs using the CIP subsystem, see the Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) Configuration and
Management Manual.
