HP Integrity NonStop X NS7 User Manual

1 HPE Integrity NonStop X NS7 Systems
The HPE Integrity NonStop X NS7 system family introduces Intel® Xeon® x86 technology to
NonStop by using a new high bandwidth, low latency InfiniBand system interconnect that is
fully-integrated with the fault-tolerant HPE NonStop Operating system.
The L15.08 RVU introduced the NS7 X1.
The L16.05 RVU introduces the NS7 X2 and the NS7 CG X2.

“NonStop X NS7 Standard and Optional Hardware” (page 10) describes the NS7 system hardware.
Because NS7 systems offer flexibility in how hardware is distributed in the rack, configurations
can vary. Figure 1 shows two example configurations for AC power NS7 systems.
