Introduction to the 6760 ServerNet/DA Limitations associated with the primary drive can occupy a separate enclosure from the primary path and backup path associated with the mirror drive. This arrangement, called “enclosure interleaving,” offers increased fault tolerance. For more information, see Disk Configuration for Fault Tolerance on page 1-10, and the NonStop S-Series Planning and Configuration Guide. • ServerNet Fabric.
Introduction to the 6760 ServerNet/DA Tape Driver Performance Considerations Tape Driver Performance Considerations If you want to configure a tape drive located up to 2 kilometers away from the server, choose F-PIC connectivity. If you want to configure a high-performance tape drive, use S-PIC connectivity. The S-PIC is rated at 40 MB/sec, compared to 5 MB/sec for the F-PIC. Also, do not use daisy chaining.
6760 Configuration Information Introduction to the 6760 ServerNet/DA Figure 1-4 shows a 6760 adapter with four SACs containing fiber-optic ServerNet addressable controllers (F-SACs).

Introduction to the 6760 ServerNet/DA Disk Configuration for Fault Tolerance Disk Configuration for Fault Tolerance The 6760 adapter logic board is shipped with up to four SACs installed on it. If you want full fault tolerance with magnetic disk drives, you must order at least two 6760 adapters. Up to 8 disks in one disk module can be controlled by 6761 F-SACs.
Introduction to the 6760 ServerNet/DA 6760 Adapters in Noninterleaved Enclosures Balance 6760 Adapters Across Enclosures When multiple 6760 adapters are installed in a processor enclosure and its attached I/O enclosures, you should balance the adapters between even-numbered slots and odd-numbered slots. For example, if four 6760 adapters are installed in slot 54 of a processor enclosure and its three attached I/O enclosures, all four adapters would be vulnerable to a Y-fabric outage.
Introduction to the 6760 ServerNet/DA 6760 Adapters in Noninterleaved Enclosures Figure 1-8 shows fault-tolerant paths to disks that are installed in the same disk module. Figure 1-8.

CDT 012.
Introduction to the 6760 ServerNet/DA Fiber-Optic Cables and Connectors Replacing SACs If you install two 6760 adapters to control a disk module, you have additional flexibility when you must remove either of those 6760 adapters to replace a SAC. You can switch paths from the 6760 adapter to be removed to the other 6760 adapter so that the system can continue to access the devices. For disks, the SAC serves the same purpose as the 3128, 3129, and 3216 controllers used in the NonStop K-series servers.

Topic Page Service Class 2-1 Installation Overview 2-2 Moving a 6760 Adapter and Its Devices 2-18 Service Class Some NonStop S-series system components that were originally FRUs have been reclassified as CRUs. These components include the 6760 adapter. Furthermore, all CRUs have been divided into service classes. The 6760 adapter is a Class-3 CRU.
Installing and Moving the 6760 ServerNet/DA Installation Overview Installation Overview The 6760 adapter provides communication between the ServerNet fabrics (X and Y) of a NonStop S-series server and external disk drives, external tape drives, and Open SCSI devices. The 6760 adapter is designed to use F-SACs or S-SACs. Currently you cannot mix different SAC types or different device types on the same 6760 adapter. The 6760 adapter is shipped with the SACs needed for your system.
Installing and Moving the 6760 ServerNet/DA Plan the Installation Plan the Installation Before you install a 6760 adapter in a system, you’ll need to decide which enclosure slot to install the adapter in. Figure 2-1 shows the slots available for the 6760 adapter on an I/O enclosure and a processor enclosure. Figure 2-1.
Installing and Moving the 6760 ServerNet/DA Plan the Installation Some of the following questions might help with your planning. General Planning Questions • Are you are moving 45xx disk drives from a NonStop K-series system? If these disks contain a database that uses the system name and node name for locating data, you may need to modify the database catalogs and file labels before migrating the database. For more information on this subject, see Appendix D, Migrating Data From a D-Series Release.
Installing and Moving the 6760 ServerNet/DA • Plan the Installation How important is a fault-tolerant design to you? If fault tolerance is important for disk drives connected to the 6760 adapter, you must have at least two 6760 adapters communicating with each disk module. Whether the adapters are installed in different enclosures or not, one adapter should be installed in an even-numbered slot and the other adapter in an odd-numbered slot.
