Components
These components are associated with or reside in an IOAM enclosure.
IOAM enclosure (chassis)
The IOAM enclosure (chassis) contains two installed midplanes:
I/O midplane for routing ServerNet signals
Power midplane for routing power signals for the power-supply controls
It can accommodate these components:
ServerNet switch boards
ServerNet adapters
Fans
Power supplies
Bezel
Cable management system
ServerNet Switch Board
A NonStop S-series system communicates with an IOAM through the ServerNet switch
board. Two ServerNet switch boards route ServerNet packets from MSEBs in NonStop
S-series systems to the ServerNet adapters in the IOAM enclosure, one for the X
fabric, the other for the Y.
ServerNet Adapters
Fibre Channel ServerNet adapters (FCSAs) or Gigabit 4-port ServerNet adapters
(G4SAs) are used to communicate between an IOAM and additional disk storage such
as an Enterprise Storage System (ESS) disk.
Fans
Four fans provide the cooling for components inside an IOAM enclosure. The fans are
located in slots 16 and 17 on the front side of an IOAM enclosure.
Note. For more information about FCSAs or G4SAs, the Fibre Channel ServerNet Adapter
Installation and Support Guide and Gigabit Ethernet 4-Port ServerNet Adapter Installation and
Support Guide are available for your service provider. For more information about an ESS, the
Modular I/O Installation and Configuration Guide is available to your service provider. These
manuals are located in the NTL Hardware Service and Maintenance collection.
