HP NonStop S-Series System Expansion and Reduction Guide—522465-009
C-1
C Checklists and Worksheets
This appendix contains checklists and worksheets for planning system resizing.
Copy these worksheets and staple them together. You might need more than one copy
of some worksheets. The checklists say which worksheets to copy more than once.
Note. These worksheets show the maximum number of I/O enclosures. Your service provider
can tell you the number of I/O enclosures supported by the RVU on your system.
Note. The diagrams in this guide identify all ServerNet expansion boards as SEBs. Your
system might have or require modular ServerNet expansion boards (MSEBs) in the slots
designated for SEBs. SEBs and MSEBs are functionally equivalent.
Caution. ServerNet cabling for IOAM enclosures is different from the cabling shown in the
topology diagrams in this appendix. Only service providers trained by HP should perform
cabling of IOAM enclosures.
