1 Cabling Preparation for HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000/7450
The following instructions list important precautions and information about cabling installation
options for the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage system.
Following Precautions
Follow these general precautions to avoid injury, data loss, and damage before and during
installation or while servicing the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage system:
•
•
Avoid using improper tools
Prepare an Electrostatic Discharge-safe (ESD) work surface by placing an antistatic mat on
the floor, or table, near the storage system. Attach the ground lead of the mat to an unpainted
surface of the rack
•
•
Always use a wrist-grounding strap, provided with the storage system. Attach the grounding
strap clip directly to an unpainted surface of the rack
Avoid contact between electronic components and clothing which can carry an electrostatic
charge
•
•
•
Ensure all cables are properly labeled and easily identifiable prior to removing a component
Observe local occupational safety requirements and guidelines for handling heavy equipment
Always load the heaviest item first, and start from the bottom when loading the rack. Loading
from the bottom makes the rack bottom-heavy and helps prevent the rack from becoming
unstable
•
•
Do not attempt to move a fully-loaded equipment rack. Remove all equipment from the rack
before moving the rack
Use at least two people to safely move the rack from the pallet
Identifying and Labeling the Components
This section of the chapter applies to all configurations in this guide. The guide provides instructional
guidance for cabling the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000/7450 according to a specific configuration.
All HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage systems contain either the HP 3PAR 7200 (2 nodes) or 7400/7450
(with 2 or 4 nodes), M6720 large drive enclosure(s), and M6710 small drive enclosure(s).
The M6720 large drive enclosures supports 3.5-inch disk drives and the smaller M6710 drive
enclosure supports 2.5-inch disk drives.
The cabling configurations are identifiable by the specific number of nodes connecting to a
combination of small or large disk drive enclosures. The cabling configuration examples below
uses the following identification:
•
2 Node 10 Drive Enclosure (1S) refers to a configuration using two nodes connecting to one
small (2.5-inch) disk drive enclosure
•
2 Node 10 Drive Enclosures (6S+4L) refers to a configuration using two nodes connecting to
a combination of six small (2.5-inch) and four large (3.5-inch) drive enclosures

Types of Components
Use the red and green color coding to assist with the cabling. Only connect to components sharing
the same color.

Labeling the Enclosures
Before connecting the cables:
•
•
Labels (A, B, C, and D) are provided to help identify the enclosures in the storage system.
Apply the labels to each enclosure in a visible location and avoid covering other labels
Apply label A to the controller enclosure with nodes 0 and 1. Alternate the labeling (A/B) on
each enclosure below the controller enclosure
If applicable, a system using four nodes, apply label C to the controller enclosure with nodes 2
and 3. Alternate the labeling (C/D) on each enclosure above the controller enclosure.
The illustration below describes a typical configuration using two nodes and a combination of
large and small drive enclosures.
NOTE: The illustrative depiction may not reflect the configuration setup of your system but the
labeling pattern is similar.
