on the NonStop X NS7 Server Blades. The NS7 X1 system ships with BL460c Gen8 server
blades and the NS7 X2 ships with BL460c Gen9 server blades.
NOTE: BL460c Gen8 and Gen9 server blades cannot coexist in the same system.

CLuster I/O Modules (CLIMs)
NS7 systems support the Storage CLIM, IP CLIM and Telco CLIM which function as I/O or
Ethernet adapters and are managed by the Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) subsystem.
A CLIM is identified by the number on the rear label; this same number is also listed as the part
number in OSM. Below are sample illustrations of CLIMs.
