TCP/IP environments

• No outage or reconnect required upon a

port failure

• Flexible speed and cabling options

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 offers 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 flexibility, these modules may be

installed in different 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 configurations with all-copper

or up to four fiber-optical interfaces. These interfaces can be changed between

copper and fiber-optic without changing components.

1GbE speeds are available on eight ports, for which both UTP copper or multimode fiber cabling is supported. As file size and transaction volume increase, the NonStop G16SE provides the kind of scalability that keeps your system at pace with the increased capacity.
