When to Use This Section
This section describes the system enclosures, the system organization, numbering and
labeling, and how to identify components in a NonStop S-series server. For detailed
information on system hardware organization, refer to the NonStop S-Series Planning
and Configuration Guide.
System Organization
Hardware in a NonStop S-series server is organized according to a system, group,
module, and slot hierarchy:
System A set of groups and external hardware components that are directly
connected together, managed by a single operating system image, and
operated as one computer. A system can consist of one or more
processor enclosures and optionally one or more I/O enclosures and one
or more IOAM enclosures.
Group All objects accessible to a pair of service processors (SPs) in a system
enclosure. A group includes all the components in a system enclosure or
in an IOAM enclosure.
Module A set of components sharing a common hardware interconnection in a
system enclosure. A module contains one or more slots. In a processor
enclosure and an I/O enclosure, there is only one module in a group. In
an IOAM enclosure, there are two modules in a group.
Slot A physical, labeled space in a module.
