Versatile I/O Enclosure
Starting with RVU H06.08, the Versatile I/O (VIO) enclosure replaces the I/O adapter
module (IOAM) enclosure in new HP Integrity NonStop NS14000 and NS1000
systems. Two VIO enclosures, one for each ServerNet fabric, provide connectivity for
processor, Fibre Channel disk and tape, and Ethernet. For more information, see the
