V4SE and V8SE Enclosures for NonStop S-Series Servers

Figure 1-1 (page 10) shows the back of a V8SE enclosure. The ground cable connection, located
next to the power supply in slot 18, is not used for AC-powered enclosures.

V4SE Configurations
The V4SE uses one of these embedded Ethernet configurations:
• Copper only: In slot 6b, all four ports are used. There is a card in slot 6a/7a, but the ports
are not used.
• Copper and optical: In slot 6b, ports A and B are used but ports C and D are not used. In
slot 6a/7a, the lower (slot 6a) C and D optical ports are used. The other ports on the card in
slot 6a/7a are not used.
To switch between using a copper interface and using an optical interface see “Changing an
Ethernet Port Configuration From Copper to Fiber” (page 15) or “Changing an Ethernet Port
Configuration From Fiber to Copper” (page 15).
V8SE Configurations
The V8SE uses both the embedded Ethernet and the expanded Ethernet configurations. In addition
to the embedded Ethernet configuration options listed in “V4SE Configurations” (page 10), the
V8SE includes one of these expanded Ethernet configurations:
• Expanded configuration is copper only: In slot 7b, all four ports are used.
• Expanded configuration is copper and optical: In slot 7b, ports A and B are used. In slot
6a/7a, the upper (slot 7a) C and D optical ports are used. (The lower ports in slot 6a/7a are
used only if the embedded Ethernet configuration includes optical ports.)
To switch between using a copper interface and using an optical interface see “Changing an
Ethernet Port Configuration From Copper to Fiber” (page 15) or “Changing an Ethernet Port
Configuration From Fiber to Copper” (page 15).
Upgrading from a V4SE to a V8SE
To upgrade from a V4SE to a V8SE, you must add an Ethernet expansion board to slot 7b. This
is an offline procedure. This upgrade must be performed by a service provider trained by HP.
