Electrical Power and Grounding Quality
Proper design and installation of a power distribution system for a system requires specialized skills,
knowledge, and understanding of appropriate electrical codes and the limitations of the power systems for
computer and data processing equipment. For power and grounding specifications, see Enclosure AC
Input for NonStop X Systems on page 50.
Power Quality
This equipment is designed to operate reliably over a wide range of voltages and frequencies, described
in Enclosure AC Input for NonStop X Systems on page 50
ranges are exceeded. Severe electrical disturbances can exceed the design specifications of the
equipment. Common sources of such disturbances are:
• Fluctuations occurring within the facility’s distribution system
• Utility service low-voltage conditions (such as sags or brownouts)
• Wide and rapid variations in input voltage levels or input power frequency
• Electrical storms or large inductive sources (such as motors and welders)
• Faults in the distribution system wiring (such as loose connections)
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
Hewlett Packard Enterprise site preparation specialist or power engineer.
. However, damage can occur if these
Grounding Systems
The site building must provide a power distribution safety ground/protective earth for each AC service
entrance to all system equipment. This safety grounding system must comply with local codes and any
other applicable regulations for the installation locale.
For proper grounding/protective earth connection, consult with your Hewlett Packard Enterprise site
preparation specialist or power engineer
.
Power Consumption
The power consumption and inrush currents per connection can vary because of the unique combination
of enclosures housed in the rack. Calculate the total power consumption for the hardware installed in the
rack as described in NS7 Enclosure Power Loads
Cooling and Humidity Control
Cooling airflow through each enclosure in the system is front-to-back. Because of high heat densities and
hot spots, an accurate assessment of air flow around and through the system equipment and specialized
cooling design is essential for reliable system operation. For an airflow assessment, consult with your
Hewlett Packard Enterprise cooling consultant or your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HV
engineer.
NOTE: Failure of site cooling with the system continuing to run can cause rapid heat buildup and
excessive temperatures within the hardware. Excessive internal temperatures can result in full or partial
system shutdown. Ensure that the site’

Flooring
NS7 Rack and
NonStop NS7 systems can be installed either on the site’
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.
The site floor structure and any raised flooring (if used) must be able to support the weight of the installed
system, individual racks, and enclosures as they are moved into position. To determine the total weight of

NS7 Rack and Enclosure Weights With Worksheet on page 58.
Dust and Pollution Control
NS7 systems do not have air filters. Any computer equipment can be adversely af
microscopic particles in the site environment. Airborne dust can blanket electronic components on printed
circuit boards, inhibiting cooling airflow and causing premature failure from excess heat, humidity, or both.
Metallically conductive particles can short circuit electronic components. Tape drives and some other
mechanical devices can experience failures resulting from airborne abrasive particles.
For recommendations to keep the site as free of dust and pollution as possible, consult with your heating,
ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) engineer or your Hewlett Packard Enterprise site preparation
specialist.

NS7 Enclosure Power Loads
The total power and current load for a rack depends on the number and type of enclosures installed in it.
Therefore, the total load is the sum of the loads for all installed enclosures.
In normal operation, the AC power is split equally between the power feeds on the two sides (left and
right) of the rack. However
side must carry the power for all enclosures in that rack.
NOTE: For NS7 CG system specifications, see
Systems on page 80.

NS7 Cooling Airflow Direction
NOTE: Because the front door of the enclosure must be adequately ventilated to allow air to enter the
enclosure and the rear door must be adequately ventilated to allow air to escape, do not block the
ventilation apertures of a system.
Each NS7 system includes 10 Active Cool fans that provide high-volume, high pressure airflow at even
the slowest fan speeds. Air flow for each system enters through a slot in the front of the c7000 enclosure
and is pulled into the interconnect bays. Ducts allow the air to move from the front to the rear of the
enclosure where it is pulled into the interconnects and the center plenum. The air is then exhausted out
the rear of the enclosure.
NS7 Blanking Panels
If the NS7 system is not completely filled with components, the gaps between these components can
cause adverse changes in the airflow
gaps with blanking panels. In high density environments, air gaps in the enclosure and between adjacent
enclosures should be sealed to prevent recirculation of hot-air from the rear of the enclosure to the front.

Managing NS7 System Resources
This chapter provides guidelines for managing the system resources.
Planning Kernel Managed Swap (KMS) Space
HPE uses Kernel Managed Swap (KMS) space to manage virtual memory via swap files controlled by the
HPE NonStop operating system. Each CPU has at least one KMS file that provides the swap space
needed by processes.
Proper configuration and management of KMS space is critical to the operation of the system.
After a new system is loaded, HPE recommends initially allocating swap space for each NS7 CPU that
equals twice the physical memory of the CPU minus the memory configured for DP2 cache. This example
shows allocating swap space for a 4 CPU system with 64GB NonStop X server blades and 128GB server
blades.
CPU 2x CPU Memory Minus DP2
Cache
64GB 128GB 16GB 112GB 448GB
128GB 256GB 32GB 224GB 896GB
TIP: If the new system replaces a previous system with a similar number of CPUs and application
processes, you can use the SW
for the new system.
You use the NonStop Kernel utility program, NSKCOM to monitor, configure, and manage KMS files. The
information you obtain from NSKCOM and MEASURE is then used to adjust the swap-file configuration.

Default Naming Conventions for NS7 Systems
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.

The possible values of disk and tape LUN numbers depend on the type of the resource.
For a SAS disk, the LUN number is calculated as base LUN +offset.
•
base LUN is the base LUN number for the SAS enclosure. Its value can be 100, 200, 300, 400, 500,
600, 700, 800, or 900, and should be numbered sequentially for each of the SAS enclosures attached
to the same CLIM.
offset is the bay (slot) number of the disk in the SAS enclosure.
• For an ESS disk, the LUN number is calculated as base LUN +offset.
base LUN is the base LUN number for the ESS port. Its value can be 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000,
6000, 7000, 8000, or 9000, and should be numbered sequentially for each of the ESS ports attached
to the same CLIM.
offset is the LUN number of the ESS LUN.
• For a physical Fibre Channel tape, the value of LUN number can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, and
should be numbered sequentially for each of the physical tapes attached to the same CLIM.
• For a VTS tape, the LUN number is calculated as base LUN+offset.
base LUN is the base LUN number for the VTS port. Its value can be 5000, 5010, 5020, 5030, 5040,
5050, 5060, 5070, 5080, or 5090, and should be numbered sequentially for each of the VTS ports
attached to the same CLIM.
offset is the LUN number of the VTS LUN.

NEBS Required Statements
•
NS7 CG systems are designed for installation into a Central Office or similar telecommunications
environment.
• NS7 CG are suitable for installation as part of a Common Bonding Network (CBN).
• To ensure proper electrical contact when grounding a NS7 CG rack:
◦ Use a ground cable of the same or larger size than the largest DC input power conductors, using a
40º C correction factor.
◦ Use a cable constructed of copper, 75° C minimum rated.
◦ Use only Listed two-hole copper compression-type lugs for the ground connector.

rotation.
• The Battery Return (BR) Input Terminals are considered to be an Isolate DC Return (DC-I).
• NS7 CG systems are suitable for connection to intrabuilding or non-exposed wiring or cabling only.
Unshielded, twisted-pair (UTP) cables may be used for NEBS and non-NEBS installation.
WARNING: The intrabuilding port(s) of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for connection
to intrabuilding or unexposed wiring or cabling only
subassembly MUST NOT be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its
wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intrabuilding interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4
ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 5) and require isolation from the exposed OSP
cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these
interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.

Site Power Cables for NS7 CG Systems
Site cables and lugs must be provided by the customer or the installation provider for the customer
Hewlett Packard Enterprise does not provide these items to the customer.
.
IMPORTANT: The power cables should be assembled by a certified electrician only
Required Documentation
The information in this appendix assumes the customer or the customer
familiar with and has access to the National Fire Protection Associations (NFPAs) published National
Electrical Code Handbook 2005 (NFPA 70). Specifically either of these tables from the handbook,
depending on the Cable Rating that is selected at the site (60C-90C vs. 150C-250C jacketing):
• “Allowable Ampacities of Insulated Conductors Rated 0 Through 2000 Volts, 60° C Through 90° C, Not
More Than Three Current-Carrying Conductors in Raceway, Cable, or Earth, Based on Ambient
Temperature of 30° C” (Table 310.16)
• “Allowable Ampacities of Insulated Conductors Rated 0 Through 2000 Volts, 150° C Through 250° C
(302° F Through 482° F). Not More Than Three Current-Carrying Conductors in Raceway, Cable, or
Earth, Based on Ambient Temperature of 40° C (104° F)” (Table 310.18)
Requirements for Site Power or Ground Cables
The customer must ensure the site power cables meet the ampacity requirements for a NEBS 50°C
environment.
.

for a NEBS 50°C environment.
To ensure the site power input cables you plan to use meet the ampacity requirements for a NEBS 50°C
environment:
Depending on the site’s Cable Rating requirements, use Table 310.16 or Table 310.18 (60°C-90°C or
•
150°C-250°C jacketing, respectively). See
to determine the correct cable size, based on the type and grade of cable you plan to use.
To reach the NEBS 50°C environment, apply the correction factor within each table for the 50°C
•
ambient temperature range (Table 310.16 is 46°C-50°C; Table 310.18 is 41°C-50°C) to the ampacity
values in the Table to obtain the corrected maximum ampacity that is acceptable in the NEBS 50°C
environment.
• If more than three current-carrying conductors will be run vertically through the sides of the rack, or lay
in a site’s raceway for longer than 24 inches, apply the correction factor from Table 310.15(B)(2)(a) to
the ampacity values from Table 310.16 or Table 310.18 at 50°C.
able 310.16 or Table 310.18 along with Table 310.15(B)(2)(a). See
to verify the site power input cables meet the ampacity requirements

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 NS7 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 NS7 system when
the disk drive write cache is enabled.
• Explains why some configurations are not supported.
• Informs you of what you must do to prevent data loss.
NOTE: All example UPS configuration illustrations in this appendix show NS7 system hardware, but these
configurations are supported on all NonStop platforms and can be used with single-phase and threephase UPS.
IMPORTANT: You must change the ride-through time for a Hewlett Packard Enterprise-supported
UPS from the manufacturing default setting to an appropriate value for your system. During
installation of an NS7 or HPE UPS, your service provider can refer to the "Setting the Ride-Through
ime and Configuring for Maximized Runtime" procedure in the NonStop X System Hardware
T
Installation Manual for these instructions.
