Maintenance Switch

The HPE ProCurve maintenance switch provides the communication between the NS2300 system
through the VIO enclosures, CLIMs, the optional UPS, and the system console running or
accessing OSM software.
The NS2300 system requires multiple connections to the maintenance switch. For more
information, refer your service provider to the NonStop NS2100 and NS2300 System Hardware
Installation Manual or to the

System Console

A system console is a Windows Server purchased from Hewlett Packard Enterprise that runs
maintenance and diagnostic software for NS2300 systems. When supplied with a new NS2300
system, system consoles have factory-installed Hewlett Packard Enterprise and third-party
software for managing the system. You can install software upgrades from the NonStop System
Console Installer DVD.
