NonStop NS2400 Series Planning Guide

IP CLuster I/O Module (CLIM) (Optional)
The IP CLIM is a rack-mounted server that is part of some NonStop NS2400 series system
configurations. For RVU requirements for DL380 G6 and DL380p Gen8 IP CLIMs, see Table 1
(page 22). A NonStop NS2400 series system can have 0, 1, or 2 IP CLIMs. For information about
coexistence limits for IP and Telco CLIMs, see IP and Telco CLIM Coexistence Limits (page 99). The
IP CLIM connects to the VIO enclosure and functions as a ServerNet Ethernet adapter providing
HP standard Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface Cards (NICs) to implement one of these IP CLIM
configurations:
• “DL380 G6 IP CLIM Option 1 — Five Ethernet Copper Ports” (page 26)
• “DL380 G6 IP CLIM Option 2 — Three Ethernet Copper and Two Ethernet Optical Ports”
(page 27)
• “DL380p Gen8 IP CLIM Option 1 — Five Ethernet Copper Ports” (page 27)
• “DL380p Gen8 IP CLIM Option 2 — Three Ethernet Copper and Two Ethernet Optical Ports”
(page 28)
These illustrations show the Ethernet interfaces and ServerNet fabric connections on the back of
the DL380 G6 and DL380p Gen8 IP CLIM with the IP CLIM option 1 and option 2 configurations.
For illustrations of the front view of these CLIMs, see “CLuster I/O Modules (CLIMs)” (page 22).
NOTE: All CLIMs use the Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) subsystem. For more information about the
CIP subsystem, see the Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) Configuration and Management Manual.
