Chapter 3. Ibm Nextscale N1200 Enclosure - IBM NeXtScale System Planning And Implementation Manual

IBM NeXtScale n1200
Chapter 3.
Enclosure
The foundation on which IBM NeXtScale System is built is the IBM NeXtScale
n1200 Enclosure.
Designed to provide shared, high-efficiency power and cooling for up to 12
compute nodes, this chassis scales with your business needs. Adding compute,
storage, or acceleration capability is as simple as adding nodes to the chassis.
There is no built-in networking or switching capabilities, which requires no
chassis-level management beyond power and cooling.
