NOTE: Consider the following VIO requirements: • For NS1000 and NS1200 servers, expanded ports are available only to customers who have the HP ESS. • The VIO enclosure software is not backward compatible and is supported only on H06.08 and later RVUs. • Prior to December 2006, the NS1000 and NS14000 servers were shipped with a limited IOAME configuration known as the IO Core, which consisted of an IOAME with six adapter slots rather than the usual ten slots. Customer installations with the IO Core configuration will be supported until December 2011. Table 91 describes supported NonStop server configurations with IOAMEs.
