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

Key features and benets
• One model with a variety of conguration and cabling options
• Dynamic adjustment to network trac characteristics
• Enhanced TCP/IP support with up to 80,000 UDP/TCP connections per adapter
• Congurable MAC to override auto-negotiation settings (UTP cabling only)
• Application-compatible with previous Ethernet adapters for a smooth migration
• Support for multiple protocols (TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, Expand/IP, PAM, and SNAX over Ethernet)
A NonStop NB54000c or a NonStop NB56000c system with two c7000 blade enclosures
supports up to six G16SEs per system. For a system with only one c7000 blade enclosure,
youcan install up to four G16SEs per system.
If your NonStop system does not have a pair of IP or Telco CLIMs, two 10/100 Ethernet
ports on the rst G16SE are needed for system maintenance communications. These ports
can be recongured for customer use if a pair of IP or Telco CLIMs is added to the system
later. Subsequent G16SE enclosures in the system have all 16 Ethernet ports available for
application use.
The Cable Management Panel (BL8153) is an important component of the overall G16SE
solution and provides clean and easy access to the Ethernet ports. This provides an elegant
cabling solution and allows for quick recongurations.
Flexibility and scalability
The NonStop G16SE product further increases the leadership role of NonStop systems by
oering unique conguration options. It can coexist with IP and Telco CLIMs for a more exible
environment. The NonStop G16SE installs and operates in conjunction with IP and Telco CLIMs,
thus maintaining your existing investment. 1GbE speeds are available on eight ports, for which
both UTP copper or multimode ber cabling is supported. As le size and transaction volume
increase, the NonStop G16SE provides the kind of scalability that keeps your system at pace
with the increased capacity.
