For more information, refer your service provider to the NonStop NS2100 and NS2300 System Hardware Installation Manual or to the Technical Document...
Enterprise Storage System — ESS (Optional) An Enterprise Storage System (ESS) is a collection of magnetic disks, their controllers, and a disk cache in one or more standalone racks. ESS connects to the NS2300 system either directly via Fibre Channel ports on the Storage CLIM (direct connect) or through a separate storage area network (SAN) using a Fibre Channel SAN switch (switched connect).
2 Identifying NS2300 System Components Component Location and Identification in a NS2300 System This chapter provides the terminology and group-module-slot numbering for NS2300 system components to assist you in identifying and locating these components. NOTE: For IP addresses for NS2300 system components, refer your service provider to the NonStop NS2100 and NS2300 Hardware Installation Manual.
On NS2300 systems, locations of the modular components are identified by: Physical location: ◦ Rack number ◦ Rack offset Logical location: ◦ Group, module, and slot (GMS) notation as defined by their position on the ServerNet rather than the physical location OSM uses GMS notation in many places, including the Tree view and Attributes window, and it uses rack and offset information to create displays of the server and its components.

3 Site Preparation Guidelines for NS2300 Systems This chapter provides guidelines for preparing a site for an NS2300 system. Rack Power and I/O Cable Entry Depending on the rack order and the routing of the AC power feeds at the site, AC power cords for the PDUs exit either: Top: Power and I/O cables are routed from above the rack.
To protect the system from electrical disturbances, use a dedicated power distribution system, power conditioning equipment, and lightning arresters on power cables. For assistance, consult with your HP site preparation specialist or power engineer. Grounding Systems The site building must provide a power distribution safety ground/protective earth for each AC service entrance to all NonStop server equipment.
Flooring NS2300 systems can be installed either on the site’s floor with the cables entering from above the equipment or on raised flooring with power and I/O cables entering from underneath. Because cooling airflow through each enclosure in the racks is front-to-back, raised flooring is not required for system cooling.
Operational Space for an NS2300 System √ Ensure: NS2300 system site layout, uses the equipment dimensions, door swing, and service clearances listed in “Dimensions and Weights” (page 49) and takes advantage of existing lighting and electrical outlets. Airflow direction and current or future air conditioning ducts are not obstructed. Eliminate any obstructions to equipment intake or exhaust air flow.
For instructions on grounding the Enterprise series rack (formerly known as the Intelligent rack) using the HPE Rack Ground Bonding Kit (BW891A), ask your service provider to refer to the instructions in the: HP Rack Options Installation Guide http://www.hpe.com/support/Intelligent_Series_Rack_Manuals. Power Distribution for NS2300 Systems Power Distribution Units (PDUs) Two PDU cores provide power for the rack.
NOTE: The following illustrations of modular PDU connections show single-phase modular PDU cores with four outlets. In three-phase installations, the modular PDU cores have six outlets (L1 through L6). Also, 36U racks with modular PDUs have only three extension bars on each side. Figure 6 Modular PDU Connections (Without UPS) System Installation Specifications for NS2300 Systems...
AC Power Feeds NS2300 systems can be ordered with the AC power cords for the PDU installed either top or bottom. Top: Power and I/O cables are routed from above the rack Bottom: Power and I/O cables are routed from below the rack Here are some typical power feed configurations for a NS2300 system: AC Power Feeds Without UPS Example of Bottom AC Power Feed Without UPS (page 38)
Figure 14 Example of Bottom AC Power Feed With Three-Phase UPS Each PDU is wired to distribute the load segments to its receptacles. CAUTION: If you are installing NS2300 system enclosures in a rack, balance the current load among the available load segments. Using only one of the available load segments, especially for larger systems, can cause unbalanced loading and might violate applicable electrical codes.
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) A NS2300 system can use the R5000 UPS for a single-phase power configuration or the R12000/3 UPS for a three-phase power configuration. An extended run-time module (ERM) can be combined with a UPS to extend battery time. For more information, see “UPS and ERM (Optional)”...

B Default Startup Characteristics and Naming Conventions Each NS2300 system uses “Default Naming Conventions” (page 62) and ships with the following default startup characteristics: $SYSTEM disks residing in SAS disk enclosures: SAS Disk Enclosures Systems with only two Storage CLIM and two SAS disk enclosures with the disks in these locations: CLIM Location SAS Disk Enclosure...
The command interpreter input file (CIIN) is automatically invoked after the first processor is loaded. The CIIN file shipped with new systems contains the TACL RELOAD * command, which loads the remaining processors. Default Naming Conventions With a few exceptions, default naming conventions are not necessary for system resources. However, default naming conventions have been preconfigured for the following resources to simplify initial configuration files and automatic generation of these resources.
Page 63
For more information about CLIM processes that use the CIP subsystem and the naming conventions for these processes, refer to the Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) Configuration and Management Manual. On new NonStop systems, only one of each of these processes and names is configured: TCP6SAM - $ZTC0 Telserv - $ZTCN0 Listener - $LSN0...
C UPS and Data Center Power Configurations This appendix provides examples of UPS and data center power configurations, and: Specifies the UPS configurations supported on the NonStop system including the recommended UPS configuration for when the disk drive write cache is enabled. Identifies the non-supported UPS configurations that should not be used with the NonStop system when the disk drive write cache is enabled.
NonStop i System With a Fault-Tolerant Data Center In this supported configuration, the NonStop system is installed in a Tier-IV data center. The data center tier classification is defined by the Uptime InstituteTM Tier Classifications Define Site Infrastructure White Paper. IMPORTANT: With this configuration, you can guarantee that the data center never loses power.
NonStop i System With a Rack-Mounted UPS Figure 16 shows an example of a supported configuration in a NonStop i system with the left PDUs connected to one or more rack-mounted UPS, and the right PDUs connected directly to the utility power. The rack-mounted UPS is connected to the utility power. Figure 16 NonStop System With a Rack-Mounted UPS When OSM detects that one power rail is running on UPS and the other power rail has lost power, OSM logs an event indicating the beginning of the configured ride-through time period.
SAS Disk Enclosures With a Rack-Mounted UPS In this supported configuration, only SAS Disk Enclosures are protected by the rack-mounted UPS. The rack(s) with SAS Disk Enclosures and/or Storage CLIMs are supported by one or more rack-mounted UPS. Figure 17 shows an example of a supported configuration in a NonStop i system with the left PDUs connected to the rack-mounted UPS, and the right PDUs connected to the utility power.
Non-Supported UPS Configurations This section identifies non-supported UPS configurations and explains why those configurations are not supported. It also explains what you must do to prevent data loss. CAUTION: When disk drive write caching is enabled in the NonStop i system, do not use any of these non-supported UPS configurations.
NonStop i System With a Data Center UPS, Single Power Rail Figure 18 shows an example of a non-supported configuration in a NonStop i system with the left PDUs directly connected to the utility power, and the right PDUs connected to the data center UPS.
NonStop i System With Data Center UPS, Both Power Rails In this non-supported configuration, a NonStop system is installed in a Tier-I, Tier-II or Tier-III data center. The data center tier classification is defined by the Uptime InstituteTM Tier Classifications Define Site Infrastructure White Paper. IMPORTANT: If this configuration is used, there is no guarantee that your data center will never lose power.
Page 71
When the utility power fails, OSM does not detect that the data center UPS is running on battery and the UPS has entered its battery runtime. OSM does not initiate the controlled shutdown of the I/O operations and processors. If the utility power is not restored before the data center UPS shuts down, any data in the NonStop system disk drive write cache that has not been transferred to the disk drive media is lost.
NonStop i System With Rack-Mounted UPS and Data Center UPS in Parallel Figure 20 shows an example of a non-supported configuration in a NonStop i system with the left PDUs connected to the rack-mounted UPS, and the right PDUs connected to the data center UPS.
Page 73
To prevent data loss during a utility power failure, you must manually disable the Write Cache Enable (WCE) option on all the disk drive volumes. For information on how to disable the WCE, see the SCF Reference Manual for the Storage Subsystem (G06.28+, H06.05+, J06.03+). When the utility power is restored, you can enable the WCE.
NonStop i System With Two Rack-Mounted UPS in Parallel Figure 21 shows an example of a non-supported configuration in a NonStop i system with the left PDUs connected to a rack-mounted UPS, and the right PDUs connected to a different rack-mounted UPS.
NonStop i System with Cascading Rack-Mounted UPS and Data Center UPS Figure 22 shows an example of a non-supported configuration in a NonStop i system with the left PDUs connected to the rack-mounted UPS, and the right PDUs connected to a data center UPS.
Page 76
Once the downstream UPS is in this state, it still might not immediately perceive stable input power. The downstream UPS is thus compromised until it achieves a lock on stable input power and is able to recharge its batteries. Such problems are very difficult to predict. Their occurrence is a function of the output characteristics of the primary UPS, the input characteristics of the downstream UPS, and the load characteristics of the other devices deriving power from the upstream UPS.
