NonStop X NS7 Server Blades
An NS7 system achieves full software fault tolerance by running the NonStop operating system
on the NonStop X NS7 Server Blades. The NS7 X1 system ships with BL460c Gen8 server
blades and the NS7 X2 ships with BL460c Gen9 server blades.
NOTE:
BL460c Gen8 and Gen9 server blades cannot coexist in the same system.
