I. Introduction
Product Description:
The IP Network Server NSN2U system is the third generation product of Kontron’s 2U
IP Network Server products. With long product availability (3-5 years), this server
combines network port density and processor performance in a compact 2U package.
The NSN2U supports the Quad-Core Intel®Xeon®5500 series and six-core 5600 series
processors, coupling high performance with power efficiency to provide improved
performance-per-watt over previous generation rackmount servers.
The NSN2U is an excellent choice for network security applications—including intrusion
detection/intrusion prevention, VPN/firewall, and unified threat management solutions.
It is also well-suited for enterprise application acceleration and content caching, and is
an ideal platform for running Telco SoIP, including IMS, IPTV, video on demand (VoD),
SIP application servers, IP-PBX, and IP-PSTN gateways.
To add to the many recognized benefits of Kontron’s IP Network Server family, the
NSN2U introduces several new important features such as support of PCI-E Gen2,
Power Management Bus, DDR3 memory, hot-swap/redundant fans, and increased
memory and storage capacity.
More detailed product information on the NSN2U is available on Kontron’s website at:
http://www.kontron.com/products/systems+and+platforms/communication+rackmount+s
ervers/ip+network+servers/ip+network+server+nsn2u.html\
Purpose of this Document:
Serving as an ordering reference guide, this document provides details on what parts
are available from Kontron for the IP Network Server NSN2U and its associated
accessories and spares. Included are the necessary order codes and other important
configuration information related to the ordering of the product.
Supported third-party components are not covered by this document, and may be found
in the Tested Hardware and Operating System List (THOL) for this product.

II. Ordering NSN2U Systems
This section includes the following important information regarding how to order NSN2U
systems. Please be familiar with each of these areas before placing an order.
A. NSN2U System SKUs - choice of AC or DC system SKU
B. Required Configuration Choices – to enable hard drive support, PCI risers, etc.
C. NSN2U Base Model 0 Configuration - list of what is included in the base model
system
D. Details on Ordering Processors - list of which processors are supported
E. Notes on Configuration Options – important notes regarding certain accessories
A. NSN2U System SKUs
The NSN2U System SKUs are listed in the table below:
Product Code Description Min. Order
Qty.
NSNA0201Q
IP Network Server NSN2U Base Model 0
with AC Power Supply. 1
NSND0201Q
IP Network Server NSN2U Base Model 0
with DC Power Supply. 1
The NSN2U system SKUs are ordered using the Product Code as the order number.
The NSN2U is offered as either an AC or DC version—as indicated by the 4th digit of the
product code (“A” for AC or “D” for DC). Also, the last digit uses the letter “Q” to indicate
that the SKU is RoHS 6/6 compliant (previous product codes used “W” to indicate RoHs
5/6 compliancy with solder exemption).
The above SKUs are “Base Model 0” SKUs—meaning they do not include processors,
heat sinks, memory, hard drives, power cord, operating system, or plug-in adapters.
Those components should be ordered separately as Accessories from Kontron or from
third party vendors listed in the Tested Hardware and Operating System List (THOL).
The Mod 0 does NOT include a PCI riser or the hard drive controller modules necessary
to enable hard drive support—see details below on how to enable those options.
See the NSN2U Base Model 0 Configuration table later in this section for a list of
components included in each base model 0 SKU.

6 www.kontron.com
B. Required Configuration Choices
Required Choice of Hard Drive Controller Module:
Hard drive support is NOT enabled by default on the NSN2U Mod 0 base system.
Therefore if hard drive support is needed on the system, then it is REQUIRED that you
select the type of hard drive controller that you will need on the system—either for
(1) basic SAS/SATA support or (2) HW RAID support.
Using the provided Product Codes, please order one of the two options below to enable
the desired level of hard drive support for each NSN2U Mod 0 system. These items are
also listed within the “Production Spares/Accessories List” in Section III.

E. Notes on the NSN2U Configuration & Options
Please review the following important notes regarding certain accessories and
configuration options for the NSN2U.
HW RAID
oWhile SW RAID 0/1/10 is supported on the base configuration, HW RAID 5
and 6 support can be enabled via the following optional accessories (refer to
“Production Spares/Accessories List” in section III).
NSNSASRAIDQ (SAS/SATA HW RAID Controller Module) – includes
the board, RAID activation key, and memory
AXXRSBBU4 (Intel® RAID Smart Battery Backup module)
oIf HW RAID is not needed, then the NSNSASSATAQ SAS/SATA Controller
Module should be ordered instead of the above accessory options.
Hard Drive Carriers
oThe eight hard drive bays in the Mod0 system are populated with 4 drive
carriers (bays 03) and 4 filler panels (bays 47) by default.
oIf more than 4 hard drives will be used in the system, then additional hard
drive carriers should be ordered (refer to “Production Spares/Accessories
List” in section III).
Flash Drives
oThe Embedded USB (EUSB) Flash Drive from Smart Modular Technologies
is supported in the system:
Available from SMART Modular Technologies or Kontron
Multiple drive capacities supported. Refer to the ‘Tested Hardware
and Operating System List’ (THOL) for details on supported SKUs.
Mounts directly on the system baseboard and/or front panel board,
without the need for special mounting kit.
Product information is available at:
http://www.smartmodular.com/product/product.cfm?productID=65
Replaces the former Intel® Z-U130 Value Solid State Drive

11 www.kontron.com
I/O Option Modules
oThe following optional modules attach to the system board via a proprietary
connector, and provide additional I/O through the rear bulkhead.
The AXX10GBIOMOD option module provides two 10GbE NICs.
The AXX4GBIOMOD2 option module provides four GbE NICs.
The AXXSASIOMOD option module provides 4 ports for external SAS
Note on AXXSASIOMOD: To avoid connection failures or module
interface breakage, you must well support the external cabling to the
module. Do NOT let the external cabling hang in the air or leave it
unsupported.
oFor ordering details, refer to “Production Spares/Accessories List” in section III.
Rack Mounting Options
oRack mounting kits for 2-post or 4-post, 19-inch or 23-inch racks are offered
for this product. These include TMLCMOUNT21, TMLPMOUNT41,
TMLPMOUNT51, TMLPMOUNT52, and TMLPSLIDE01. The Rail Enabling
Kit (TMLREK01) is not required for these rack mount kits.
Please refer to Appendix A to determine the correct options to suit your
needs. For ordering details, refer to “Production Spares/Accessories
List” in section III.
oIf AXXBASRAIL13 or AXXHERAIL2 (from Intel) will be used, then a Rail
Enabling Kit (TMLREK01) must be purchased from Kontron to enable support
of these Intel rail kits.
For ordering details, refer to “Production Spares/Accessories List” in
section III.
