Introduction

The Version 1.10 Hardware Release Note describes NetServer™ hardware features and configurations

supported in software Version 1.10. This release note updates the hardware information in the NS 7000

Model 150/250 Series Hardware Manual, NS 7000 Model 650 Series Hardware Manual, NS 7000 Model 700

Series Hardware Manual, and NS 7000 Model 800 Series Hardware Manual for customers upgrading from

software Version 1.6.1 and later.

While this document includes hardware supported from previous software versions, not all hardware

discussed in this release note is currently available from Auspex.

Additionally, this release note provides the following information:

Documentation changes to the NS 7000™ family of products

Declaration of Conformity for the NS 7000 NetServer product line

Notice of VCCI Compliance

Refer to the Version 1.10 Software Release Note (part number: 850502-001) for new software features and

installation procedures. Refer to the System Manager’s Guide (part number: 850515-001) for instructions

on using the software.

The remainder of this section traces the development of hardware features from software Version 1.6.1

to present, and concludes with a section describing hardware features that are not supported in

software Version 1.10. The remainder of this document provides sections explaining and expanding

on the impact of those features, such as in areas of power requirements and network configurations.

Not all sections of this release note may apply to you depending on the software version running on

your system. For example, if your NetServer came from the factory with Version 1.8 software, the

hardware manuals for that system already include information regarding the NS 7000/060 expansion

cabinet, which was first available with software Version 1.6.1.

Note: Information in this release note about Host Processor- or Storage Processor-attached

extended storage devices is for reference only. Complete information on how to attach and

operate extended storage devices ships separately with each device.

Note: Version 1.10 is a software release only. No new hardware is introduced with

software Version 1.10.

Hardware Features Supported from 1.9.2

The following hardwarefeatures from software Version 1.9.2 are supportedwith softwareVersion 1.10:

Quad 10/100Base-T Ethernet network interface

ATL 7/100 tape library (available for releases 1.8.1 or later)

NS 7000/080 expansion cabinet

Note: For more information on the NS 7000/080 expansion cabinet, contact your Auspex

sales representative.

power switch.

Caution: Follow the shutdown

procedures described in your

NetServer hardware manual

before resetting or powering off

the server.

DIAG switch. This switch is

set to NORM before powering

on the NetServer.

Setting the switch to DIAG puts

the NetServer in diagnostic

authorized Auspex service

representative for

replacement when needed.

DIAG LEDs. When the

NetServer is running in

diagnostic mode, the state of

these eight LEDs represents a

specific diagnostic test running

on the HP. When the operating

system is running, the LEDs

light in an oscillating pattern,

the speed of which is

determined by the CPU load—

the slower the speed, the

higher the load.

SBus ports. There are three

SBus ports: two masters and

one slave. The HP supports

three single, one double and

one single, or one triple SBus

card. Tape storage devices are

also supported from the SBus

port. Contact your Auspex
