HP NonStop G16SE User Manual

Overview
G16SE
The HP NonStop G16SE enclosure is a high-bandwidth 16-port Ethernet ServerNet
enclosure for the HP Integrity NonStop BladeSystem NB54000c and the HP Integrity
NonStop BladeSystem NB56000c. This product meets the stringent requirements
of the NonStop system, which oers continuous availability, scalability, and
mission-critical capabilities. The NonStop G16SE is a follow-on product to the
combination of the Input Output Adapter Modular Enclosure (IOAME) and the
Gigabit 4-port ServerNet Adapter (G4SA). It requires 8U of rack space and can be
separated into two 4U modules. For increased exibility, these modules may be
installed in dierent racks. The ports on the G16SE can be paired such that a failure
of a port does not result in any outage or reconnection and does not require manual
intervention. Each Ethernet port is dual-ported to both the X and Y ServerNet fabrics.
This ensures that there is no outage due to a ServerNet fabric failure.
The G16SE complies with 1GbE and 10/100 Ethernet standards. It is designed
toaddress your need for increased connectivity and performance.
16-port enclosure
• The 16 ports can be paired so that a single port failure can seamlessly fail over
tothe paired port without intervention.
• Each of the two 4U modules has four 1GbE ports and four 10/100 Ethernet ports.
• Each of the two 4U modules provides Ethernet congurations with all-copper
orupto four ber-optical interfaces. These interfaces can be changed between
copper and ber-optic without changing components.
Features
• Increased scalability for demanding
TCP/IP environments
• No outage or reconnect required upon a
portfailure
• Flexible speed and cabling options
